They don't live here anymore, do they?

Well, the little guy in our family likes to check on the fact that there are truly no real dinosaurs alive today. The fact is, they are making a roaring comeback in kids' clothing, books, and toys this year,  right up there with owls competing for the top spot.

The gorgeous dinosaur is made in Germany. I love the texture of the skin and those claws.

These were a great Christmas gift for the young paleontologist.

Our dogs have a lot in common with the little kids who find dinosaurs so fascinating.

They all love to imagine encountering the real deal, and play fight with lots of drama.

And who loves to dig up old bones? Um, that would again be, our dogs.

Here are some cute things for your dog that feature some charming dinos.

This little hoodie pullover is soft, lightweight, like a t-shirt with tons of paleo charm.

Gotta love the colors here - fun and cheerful.

A portable mat bed for crate or travel features the cool dinosaur print.

Here it is up close

These soft nap mats when training your dog to "go to your place" 

or otherwise restricting him or her to a specific spot. Lots of our customers like them

for the camper or the back of the car. They roll up like any other camping bedroll. Easy to carry, comfy to snooze on.

Of course our collection wouldn't be complete without a raincoat. Here in Seattle this is a dog owner's necessity. Arlo loves his dino raincoat. The coat actually folds up into its own pouch, complete with a happy dinosaur logo. These are perfect for wind or rain. Easy to keep one handy to keep your dog dry and comfy on a blustery day.

Here's Arlo on a typical Seattle day, warm and dry in his bright orange raincoat.

The hood flips up or back, adjust for any changes in precip.

That pocket on the back becomes a pouch that holds this coat
when it's not in use.

Now it's a raincoat -

Now it's a pouch.

My favorite of all the dinosaur items is this amazing fleece camo vest.

Look carefully.

Those shadows in that green camo design are actually...

Jurassic Park all over again.

The top of this vest is fastened with Velcro, as shown above.

The chest is ripstop nylon, super strong and protective for brambles and such.

Your little sniffer will be able to explore the great outdoors and stay clean and protected. 

If you need to, you can wash this, and hang to dry.

Our dinosaur collection wouldn't be complete without some plush and squeaky toys for your little paleontologists.  These are medium size, great for small or large dogs.

Right now we have these in navy and green,

baby boy blue with navy,

 

and orange.

 Why not give your dog a little brontosaurus friend to keep him or her company.

Great prices on all these new items, and right now our selection is at its peak, so 

stop by and see the dinosaurs for yourself. 

No passes or tickets necessary to get in to our store.

Just tell them this guy sent you.

Ikea Monkey Dog Coat

Well, we can have our Uggs, and for our dogs, there are:

Yes, snowboots!

and sherpa-lined coats in red faux suede 

(is that perfect for Valentine's Day?)

Also, here in a lively purple.

If you saw that Ikea Monkey video recently, you may have

found his confused, frantic exploration of the store to be a

bit disturbing - a lost pet out of its natural habitat and all that.

 I had the same reaction,  but at the same time I was so loving that coat! 

It reminded me so much of this cute style that keeps our chilly dogs cozy.

Here are a couple of pet monkeys for your dog in size Small 

 

and


Large

Obviously, our pets don't run around stores alone, and we don't let them

shop without us, but wouldn't they buy themselves this fab coat if they could?

The Uggs inspiration with that big hug of sherpa and a lovely, soft faux suede. 

Maybe your dog would love the harness in this line

Everybody loves these, and you know that your pet won't be 

running around loose looking for you when she's firmly secured in this

cozy harness. Easy to attach, soft, and comfortable. Just what our dogs enjoy.

Color of the Year for 2013

According to the fashion forecast for 2013 emerald green will be the big color this year. Designers are already painting the town green, or at least turning out products of all kinds in a fresh, clear green. Angelo, that stylish guy up there, is ahead of the curve in his fleece-lined hoodie. What else would you expect from a dog who belongs to two celebrities of the Seattle art scene? After all, this is the Emerald City.

People who study these things tell us that dogs don't see green as we do, although it is a color that they can perceive. We do see green, though, and personally, I love the look of it on dogs, especially black dogs. All the associations we have with green: luck, wealth, freshness, are fine, but my personal favorite is St. Patrick's Day. A day to have fun and tune in to that honorary Irish heritage that we all enjoy.

Maybe you'd like to see what we have in store in the color of the year.

There's the green hoodie lined with fleece.

It has a front placket that attaches with Velcro.

and has a convenient pocket on the back for a treat, pickup bag, or whatever.

This shirt speaks for itself -

Begorra!

According to the fashion forecast, green may appear with neutrals

or find its use as an accent.

Here is our unlined hoodie sweatshirt in emerald,
great for a lighter jacket for spring and summer.

For those of you who love handbags

have a look at the coolest pet pickup bag holder in town.

Add some little lucky charm to your dog park outings for about the price of a latte.
