Three Woofs for RBG Pay homage to the late great Supreme Court Justice with this “Woof” Bader Ginsburg Pet Toy from Etsy vendor Nikos Nook Shop. The handmade plush toy features a fun squeaker and is perfect for pooches recently bestowed with the name “Bader,” “Ginsburg,” or just other trail-blazing, independent “ladies” such as myself. $15.50 // etsy.com/shop/Nikos NookShop.
Towel ‘Em Off The Belle Hooded Towel is everything your pet wants after taking a cool summer’s dip in the water. It’s plush soft, crazy absorbent, and that floral pattern edging is pretty fancy. Created from cuddly, 100% natural soft cotton and complete with a sweet hood to tuck into, this towel may be nicer than most human ones, but it’s only the best for the fur babies, right? $80 // puccicafe.com.
Nautical Nibbles They’ll be drooling over this delivery. These nautically-inspired dog treats from Etsy’s Houndsome Dog Bakery are crafted from all-natural, grain-free ingredients and hand decorated in fun, sea-inspired designs with icing colored with veggie and fruit derivatives. Each box comes with six peanut butter and turmeric-flavored treats, which are good for up to a month and don’t require refrigeration, so pack ‘em for Fido’s next joy ride. $18.95 // etsy.com/shop/HoundsomeDogBakery.
Don’t Forget It, Clip It Spare your humans the humiliation of forgetting the doggie bags (again) with this clever little Dog Doo Bone Holder by Millie Girl Merch, which not only clips on the leash via a provided carabiner for easy access, but also holds full bags via the slit down the middle until you reach home, or the next trash can. Each quarter-inch thick maple wood holder is individually cut and comes in your choice of five colors. $14.99 // milliegirlmerch.com.
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.
