dog love // gifts for your pooch

EVERY December my boys and I used to make a little holiday pilgrimage to the local pet shop to pick out holiday presents for our old guy, Murray. His birthday was on Christmas Day after all, so the pooch obvs got double-spoiled with toys and treats. Plus my boys absolutely loved picking them all out; it was kind of our little holiday tradition. We wrapped them all up in paper and set them out on Christmas morning. He somehow knew exactly which ones were for him and as soon as he got wind of them, he tore through the paper like a crazed woodchuck. It was one of my favorite parts of Christmas morning, it was just so stinking funny and adorable. Sadly, we lost our beloved pooch last December, just a few weeks before Christmas and his 13th birthday, but he’s still so in our hearts this time of year and so we’ll have to go on that pet shop mission anyway to spoil our other favorite dogs with toys and treats and love.

IN ALL of the crazy hustle and bustle of the holidays, it can be easy to forget about the furry members of your family. But your fur baby best friends deserve so much love. After all, who else do you know who gets THAT excited to see you?! There are heaps of really clever companies that have jumped into the spoil-your-dog-with-style industry and created really creative, funny and beautiful things that your dog will love AND you won’t mind having as part of your decor. Here’s a little round-up of some of my favorites, perfect for any dog you love or dog-lovers that you love, too! Woof. xo
