Putting Your Pooch in the Lap of Luxury

alabama-dog-houseDogs — they’re man’s best friend, right?  And a lot of us who have dogs spoil them like they are our children.  If you really like to make sure your best friend gets all the best, though, check this out. This is the Alabama dog house, built by Best Friend’s HOME. Naturally, the target market here is very wealthy people with pets who want to make sure that their babies live in the lap of luxury.

You cannot even begin to imagine the amount of detail which goes into a dog house like this. The shingles are real bitumen, there are lattice windows, and you can remove the roof so that, on sunny days, your pet can enjoy the rays. There is even a dormer meant to provide full protection for the entrance!

These houses are individually made to order, and there are a lot of options to personalize them.

Pet + Laptop = Luxury … or Disaster?

petegoSo, P@W (which stands for Pet at Work — cute, right?) is this bag. It’s … is it a great idea? That is really a matter of opinion. So … maybe we ought to just talk about what it is for.

Basically, the bag will allow you to carry both your pet (if it is a lapdog or a cat that does not mind close confines; or maybe a ferret or something too, I guess) and your laptop — together. Your laptop and your lapdog, finally together, right?

Now, there are some inherent problems with this idea. First of all, where are you going to take the dog? The office won’t accept it, Starbucks frowns upon that kind of thing if you aren’t, you know, Paris Hilton or something. The park is an option, sure, but … how many of us really want to spend $178 to be able to carry our dog and laptop in the same bag?

Also … what if your dog pees? I’m just saying.

Diamonds Are Forever … and Your Pets Can Be Too

dna2diamondsHow much do you love your pets? Enough to have them with you for the rest of your life, if not for the rest of theirs?

By now, most of us have heard of memorial diamonds, wherein the ashes of a deceased loved one can literally be made into a diamond. Well, DNA2Diamonds now makes it possible for you to do that with the remains of your beloved pets as well.

In fact, ashes are not necessarily needed with this company. A diamond can also be made — or extracted — from a simple lock of your pet’s fur.

The process here is a very long one. However, as the pet owner, all you will need to do is give the company a DNA sample of your pet. In short, after that point, carbons are extracted from your pet’s sample, it is then added to an authentic diamond seed, and the whole thing goes into an incubator. After the process, the Gemological Institute of America will even examine the finished product to make sure it is the real deal, and then the package is sent right to you.

Red diamonds, cognac diamonds, yellow green diamonds; rings, earrings, pendants, or bracelets: your pet can be immortalized — and worn — forever.
