Wowbow Mija
(28 September 2005) - Wowbow's first line of beautiful modernist pet furniture is named for Mija, the creator's rescue dog. Similar to many new pet owners, Kim and Richard Bull were dissatisfied with their options for dog beds and feeding bowls. As good designers do, they channeled that frustration in to the creation of new product. The Mija Bed and Dining Table are both made from 10mm thick...
City Kitty
(06 June 2005) - I don't have a cat and probably never will, but if I did a CitiKitty mine would be. Invented by Rebecca Rescate and her husband when they moved in to a small NYC apartment, the training starts as a litter box placed on the toilet seat. Over time you remove the inner rings, reducing the amount of litter used and teaching the cat to...
SNIF Petworking
(21 March 2005) - SNIF, or Social Networking in Fur, is a project from John Maeda's Physical Language Workshop at the MIT Media Lab.

In their own words: "SNIF presents a hardware/software architecture that aims to capture pet social networks and other pet-related information as pets and their owners explore their communities."...

Cat Tree
(01 December 2004) - I generally steer clear of cats, but I hear they like to scratch things. I guess that's why the scratching post was invented. But aren't they all so ugly? Not anymore! Everyday Studio, makers of the lovely Cat Tree. The Sophisticated Scratcher is made using 16 gauge steel finished in one of 6 bright colors. If you prefer not to make your own cardboard...

Material Dog
(03 October 2004) - Dog people have come a long way in a short time. We're still a bunch of loons, but an aesthetic evolution is definitely hitting the friends of the canine. Or maybe it's that dogs are becoming more popular among a design savvy crowd. Either way, I'm thrilled to learn that Crypton Fabrics has launched a William Wegman collection that features doggy depictions in classic...
Dog Dish
(24 September 2004) - Dog Dish, from Everyday Studio, is a simple yet functional solution for the design sensitive dog owner who wants to go the extra step for his pooch's ergonomic well being. Otis and Logan are stumpy little guys, but for the longer legged dog, it's important to place her food and water dish at a height that doesn't strain her neck. The stainless steel frame...

Peppot Camera
(26 July 2004) - If you didn't know already, I'm infatuated with my dogs. I would totally use the Peppot, a camera from Matsushita Electric Works that sends a picture message to your cell phone whenever your dog enters the scene. Of course, it wouldn't be hard to make one of these with a web cam and a motion detector, but I'm not that obsessed. Check out the...
Inside Gordon
(23 May 2004) - Gordon recently had a chest scan by an Electron Beam Tomography scanner. The first time I saw these images I thought I was looking at plates from a medical text book-- they're incredible. I had no idea such advanced medical imaging was readily available. There are more pictures along with his post. ...
Petapotty
(27 April 2004) - The jury is still out on whether this thing is good or evil, but any way you look at it, it's pretty outrageous. The PETaPOTTY is the doggy equivalent of a kitty litter.

NYC Dog Census
(24 October 2003) - The NYTimes actually analyzed the dog licensing data for the city and came up with their own Doggy Census. The survey includes most popular breeds by neighborhood and most popular names. Nothing about Sealyhams, though......
Doggy Lo-Jack
(26 April 2003) - An Electronic Tag for the Peripatetic Pet, published recently in the New York Times, provides a nice overview of the benefits of microchipping your dog (or cat). It sounds a bit creepy, but the benefits are worth it. It does remind me, however, of the LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System that was oh so hyped in the 80s....
Dog Names
(20 April 2003) - We're getting another dog in a couple weeks and have been working through several name possibilities. It would be nice if there was a way to search for names by the number of letters. Alas, not that many people are freakish enough to care about the number of letters. Anyway, here is a good long list of names....
Dogblogging
(26 March 2003) - Last month I started a weblog for Otis. Friends thought I was crazy. I believed them. I took it down. With the help of Takara's Bowlingual, a device that translates barks to english, dogs might actually generate their own blogs. As noted in The Register, all it will take is someone to handle the transmission....
