Sandy Paws dog grooming
Under the motto ‘anything safe for humans is safe for your dog. If you would not use if on yourself, don’t use it on your dog’, Sandy Paws seems to be the champion of dog grooming. Using semi-permanent color, blro-pens, spray chalks, Henna, food colorings and special adhesives to stick the extra elements, her site Pink Coyote shows the extraordinary skills with which she embellish the pets.
Her Pet Grooming Shop is located in Yucca Valley, California, and offers a creative set of hairstyles, dyeing, and “hairpieces” for dogs. One of the most awarded styles is the one on her own poodle called Cindy. Her website also shows Cindy dressed up like a shark, like something out Space Odyssey, like a Punk, like a Dragon, like a Chicken, like a Ninja Turtle and also like a peacock with original feathers.

Rinkya survival gear for cats and dogs
It is known that the Japanese are very passionate about robotic pets, but now they’re also orried about their real pets in case of an earthquake. The new Rinkya survival gear for cats and dogs is not only a shiny vest for Lassie, but is also flame resistant. It includes small bags with water and cookies for your beloved pet to have something to chew while you run away from the disaster area. But that’s not all. The survival gear also includes a set of aromatherapy oils to help your pet to relax during a disaster. It costs 38,000 yen (approximately 375 dollars) via Rinkya Stores.
Clocky is an alarm clock that notices if you don’t wake up and starts moving all over your bedroom so you won’t be able to catch it and turn the alarm off. Its main intention is to hide and keep ringing untl you wake up. This tinny alarm clock has two all-terrain wheels that can endure all surfaces.
Only in Japan? Perhaps. The Japanese Bug Fights website promotes real bug fights, with combatants such as scorpions, spiders, mantis and giant beetles. The rules are simple: only two bugs must be engaged in the fight. External weapons are not allowed and the fight lasts till one of opponents dies. Hmmm. Read more
YOU'RE SAYING (2)

I know this poor dog did not enjoy standing and sitting for hours and hours day after day for you to feel good about yourself. I am sure you think its safe, but actually it is really bad for their skin and hair, it dries the skin out and damages the hair. You ought to know better with white haired dogs. I see this as animal abuse. I am not trying to make you feel bad, I would like to just point out if the dog had a choice they would say, ” please stop”. Just groom the dog and keep them happy and healthy. This reminds me of when people dress their toddlers up as a woman and parade them on stage, its just wrong. I don’t agree with showing dogs either, that is abuse as well. Ask yourself how many times do you yell at the dog to be still or do you tie them up in a standing position for hours and hours.

I came across the Dongzhong cave school, which is situated in a Miao village within the Ziyun county, while watching a fascinating BBC documentary series about China the other night. The school, which was built in 1984 and caters for just under 200 students, is considered to be ‘a teaching branch for nearby resident units’. It looks stunning in its ornate beauty, and it must be one hell of a stimulating environment in which to learn. Read more

A broken snare drum rolling gently over a scratchy acoustic guitar; a deep lyrical catharsis smothering a melody which is predictable but endearing. Your Rocky Spine by Great Lake Swimmers is a magical song; all wrapped up in three and half minutes of lustful introspection.
With his heavy, all-protein diet, Leatherface probably needs to exercise a little, so this Nike sneaker made from human skin leather should suit him nicely. Actually, this piece is a grotesque and almost too realistic shoe made from latex as a comment on the horror of sweatshop labor
