Stuff On My Dog

We interrupt the commentary on all things editorial, political, and tech-related to bring you… just what the header says: stuff–on my dog.

Last week, I visited YoungUrbanPuppy on Etsy, a great eBay-inspired shopping-cart site that allows creative types to sell their custom-made wares to consumers worldwide. If you’re into unique art, clothing, and accessories, I highly recommend shopping there.

The above outfits were part of my first Etsy purchase, and I’ve got to say I’m really pleased. The Mario costume brings me back to my childhood, while the smart trench coat and hat make Herbie, my eight-month-old miniature dachshund, look like a dapper Sherlock Holmes. Jenielle (YoungUrbanPuppy) did an excellent job on the outfits. They’re fitted with Velcro straps so that even if Herbie grows, he’ll still be able to wear them.

So here’s my shout out to Jenielle, her dog Parsnip, and all of the people who’ve made Etsy possible! Thanks, guys!
