it’s a dog’s life.
okay, so as some of you may already know, i finally adopted a new dog, after many years of missing cooper (i do hope he approves!). meet miss lucy, who has stolen my heart. she’s a rescue dog, a tibetan terrier mix, but really more of a sweet muppet! after living on the streets, i think miss lucy deserves to be a little spoiled!
so, i thought it would be fun to do a little round up of must-have dog accoutrement and accessories. there’s way too much cute stuff out there for the canine (and felines!) in your hearts, but here’s some that i think would look quite smashing with many decors!
i’m going to start off the ‘best in show’ with fleabag beds. the girls at fleabag, chelsea and sabina, have kindly extended the sfgirlbybay readers a 20% discount on any of their adorable FleaBag beds — simply type in the promo code: sfgirl2010 at checkout. thanks girls!
Fleabags were created to fill the void of affordable, contemporary dog and cat beds in chic, washable fabrics, and most importantly, eco-conscientious. Fleabags are manufactured locally to minimize their carbon footprint, and special attention was paid to the selection of organic cotton and bamboos. and so cute!
1. Penelope the Dachshund Napkins from claywood & cotton 2. i love catherine ledner’s glamour dogs, from chronicle books 3. hipster periodic table collar from ruff haus, made from reclaimed leather. 4. harry barker’s well-packaged fetch balls.

Cute Miss Lucy! My husband and I have been looking to get a dog as well, but it’s been difficult…apparently not that easy here in Italy. We were thinking of adopting as well, but don’t want to miss out the puppy experience either…sigh sigh…
victoria, i’m officially in love with miss lucy.
She’s too cute for words!!! And it’s the perfect name – my mom always wanted to have a dog named lucy!!
Awwww!!! Love your dog and I love that you rescued her!!! Great picks!! I especially love the fleabag beds!..those are fantastic!
Miss Lucy is soooo cute! I really like the fleabag beds. Great idea! All the best from Switzerland
This is soooo sweet! That cutie deserves to be spoiled with all these goodies :)

Congrats on the new rescue pup. She is beautiful, and seems to be a great admirer of beautiful things, just like her mommy. :)
I love her! How great of you to rescue her. And her, you. Keep the great photos coming. There are a lot of us pet people out here.
obviously, I LOVE this post. ;)
she’s precious! I love that you described her as a muppet. I may have to borrow that when describing my little terrier mix, too. They’re such fun dogs, aren’t they?
she’s a total muppet. very floppy! and very fun. totally sweet and mellow at home, and a crack up at the dog park. it’s so great!
I love love love this list – everything on it. I especially love the dog beds – wish I could afford one (actually two, since I have two dogs)!
Congrats on your new muppet – she looks so sweet!
your new love is precious and i LOVE all of these puppy items! rufus wants one of each! :) congrats on your new bff!
She is so cute! Love her. We’ll have to send her an Aroo Studio collar!
she is a doll! how do you keep her so clean? i also have a sweet pup and she is also white. every walk and her feet are black.. then it’s into the tub to wash them and then dry them. it’s a lot of work every day. if she lays down when we stop to eat or have a drink then it’s her whole body that is dirty! she sleeps with me so you get the picture… any handy hints that you have?
thanks all – i’m so happy to have her in my life!
geri – she gets pretty dirty, but as long as i wipe her paws off she stays pretty white. we’ll see what happens once the rainy season hits! :)
miss lucy is soooo cute. :D she’s probably very happe to you in her life too. xD AND YEA. she does deserve to be spoiled. xD
Hi there! If you haven’t been already, check out Molly Mutt! They over a wide range of super cute dog bed duvets at a reasonable price, and get this: You can purchase a “stuff sack” to fill with old blankets, towels, clothes, etc to put in the bed. I bought cheap basic pillows at Target and saved tons of money.
Oh, I love Miss Lucy! I can’t wait to get a dog (now is just not the time). I noticed these gorgeous British Mulberry dog coats today – divine! http://www.facebook.com/#!/album.php?aid=204521&id=38150001941&ref=mf
