Fashion Alert: Hip Dogs Wear Ears to the Side

What’s the latest fashion trend for hip dogs in the know? According to Harley Persecki of Vogue, fashionable dogs in Brooklyn are wearing their ears combed over to the side.

“A growing number of dogs have been spotted sporting the side ear on the streets of Williamsburg,” writes Persecki. “And doggie hair salons are starting to offer it as a regular service.”

Of course, if side ears are about to tip into the mainstream, dogs in Brooklyn will likely be on to something else soon. (At least until side ears become so popular that they can wear them ironically.)

Puppy Starts Homemade Pesto Business

Pesto is great. You can put it on pasta, you can put it on sandwiches, you can just dip Italian bread in it.

A love of pesto is what’d driving Humphrey the mastiff puppy to put all his savings into a new business venture: Presto Pesto.

“Humphrey has planted a large basil garden in the backyard,” said the dog’s business partner Tony Maggliotti. “He plans to use his own, homegrown basil and to locally source parmesan cheese. But the secret ingredient? He’ll be using pistachios instead of pine nuts.  It’s delicious.”

Humphrey will ship his first batch of Presto Pesto in June.

Dog Masters Upward Facing Dog

Though it is one of the most widely known and oft-used yoga posts, Upward Facing Dog is, ironically, extremely difficult for canines to perform. That’s why a local dog named Rusty was so psyched when he finally mastered the pose over the weekend.

“He’s been coming to my class for about five months,” said yoga instructor Katrina Light. “So far he had only been able to perfect child’s pose and, oddly enough, the cat pose. Both of the dogs, downward and upward, were giving him trouble.”

That all changed on Saturday, when Rusty busted out Upward Facing Dog and held it for three minutes.

“We were all really proud. I guess he’s been practicing at home,” said Light.
