22.5 Karat Gold Dog Crate!

I can’t help myself, I LOVE Daily Candy, check out todays posting on this amazing dog crate!  I don’t have 11k to drop on a dog crate.  and it would be cruel to force my 3 year old boxer, Murphy back into a crate just because of how cool it would look to have him sleeping in there, like the God he is.  Well, maybe I could bribe him to do it for visitors.  hmmm.  Anyone got a spare 11k for me?

Covered in 22.5-karat gold leaf, the round cage is made of steel wire and has a removable rubber mat liner. About two feet tall and $11,000, it’s big enough for beloved barkers up to 40 pounds.

A painted version (black, white, or silver) rings in at a much lower $320.

Available online at gopetdesign.com and shopurbanpaws.com.

My dog thinks he is a celebrity

My adorable, loving, slobbering, Boxer has had his moments in the spot light.  Let me tell you, he has been on NBC News at least 5 times and his cute face is all over my facebook account.  Most recently 3 pics of him were featured in the local paper.  Here’s the link, he is the brindle boxer in 3 of the pictures.

Now that we have established that he is not camera shy, can we talk about his new “bow down” attitude.  First, he has started sleeping in till noon, I have to drag him out of bed to go to playschool.  He no longer eats dog food…  it’s caviar only with a side of foie gras for breakfast and don’t get me started on dinner.  He has requested his own play area at playschool with full bottle service and he put up a “b*tches only” sign.  Yeah! Imagine getting that phone call.

I could go on, but you get the point!   So this is a warning to all parents who allow their kids or dogs or bunnys or whatever to be photographed.

Please let me know if this has happened in your home, I need a support group!
