[ FIRST-RATE PICKS FOR YOUR POOCH FROM OUR FAVORITE FIRST MATE ]
PE AR L’S P I CKS BY PEARL ZEASMAN
Pumpkin Spiced & Oh-So-Nice As much as I love going through the Starbucks drive-thru, I’m not so sure about those pumpkin spice lattes everyone clamors for this time of year. But I can get fully on board with the Pumpkin & Carrot Chewy Treats from Jiminy’s Crickets. In addition to the produce ingredients, these hypoallergenic munchies also contain healthful oats and cricket protein that promotes gut health to keep me feeling my feisty best. $9.95 per 6-ounce bag // amazon.com
Let’s Get Kraken Rumor has it, another pooch stole the show this month at the Seattle Kraken photo shoot (see page 55). No disrespect to that corgi, whom I’m sure is very nice, but I do have to ask: Did he show up sporting an authentic LITTLEARTH NHL Seattle Kraken Stretch Dog Jersey like a true fan, such as myself, would have had I been invited to attend? No, he did not? Interesting. $20.89 // chewy.com
Here Fishy, Fishy, Fishy Score: Pearl, 1; Fish, 0. The interactive Floppy Fish toy from a company of the same name sure will flail around like a fresh catch does on the deck. It’s equipped with a smart sensor that adjusts the flopping speeds according to my motions as I stalk the prey. Made from high-quality cotton and rechargeable via the USB adapter, it always keeps me well entertained while waiting for my humans to get that all-elusive nibble on their own line. $29.99 // floppyfish.com
Sock it to Me Mom can now curl up and get cozy with my cute fuzzy face even when I’m otherwise engaged with these Customized Dog Socks from Pet Party Co. Handmade to order by this Portland, Oregon-based biz, each pair can be customized with photos of your favorite Fido friend and are available in a wide variety of sizes, colors, and styles. (I think the pastel-hued, donut motif would suit my complexion quite well, thank you.) $14.99 a pair // etsy.com/shop/ PetPartyCo
Pearl is a feisty and opinionated Jack Russell Terrier born on November 7, 2013. Her favorite treat is organic, non-GMO natural chicken jerky, as she likes to take care of her girlish figure. Pearl loves dog TV and sunbathing on the aft deck of her human’s yacht, which is moored on the H dock at Elliott Bay Marina in Seattle.
