I love a good weiner… dog, that is. This weekend, we joined Karly and Mattybear at the Weiner Dog Races in Buda, TX, a wee country town just minutes south of Austin.

It had to be the weirdest county fair I have ever been to, but I gotta say that the pups were doggone cute. So today I’m posting a few doggy decor items inspired by our day at the races. Blue ribbons not included.

I am obsessed with these headless dog speakers. Woofers by Sander Mulder.
Available in a limited run of only 50 pieces, these little dudes by Matteo Cibic have a fine pedigree.
Ibride’s Sultana Dog Stool
I love this Dog Mask Mirror, designed by Tord Boontje and Emma Woffenden for Artecnica.
Check out this amazing tutorial on how to screenprint your own wallpaper. If you’ve ever screenprinted anything, you know what a crazy big achievement this doggie wallpaper by Polly Danger is.
And finally, an oldie but goodie — the Whippet Bench by Radi Designs even comes in gold. Truly, that must be man’s best friend.
I’m leaving y’all with a little pic of Me and Ike in the petting zoo at the fair. We survived the voracious baby eating goats… barely. I’m not sure Ike’s pacifier will ever the the same, though.
Sorry our posts are looking all wonky… we’re having some weird wordpress glitches that force us to code in HTML and mama no likey. Hopefully it’ll all magically resolve itself soon.
That’s it for the weekend wrap up. Did any of you do anything super exciting? Tell me all about it.

Erin, I don’t know who’s cuter-you, Ike, you, Ike, you, Ike. Shit, I don’t know!
p.s.- I LOVE your hair!
Seriously awesome new hair, Babe!
We did the animal thing, too, with a trip to the Denver Zoo. Pea loves her some wildlife.
Don’t you guys look fab! The top photo made me ache for a dog again…must. resist. Ok those with kids will understand when I say the mirror looks like the dog commander in Power Rangers SPD…..
I can’t decide which post title I like better, this one or your morning wood one.
Thanks, Connie — I’m glad someone enjoys my post titles.
And ladies, you are all too kind! Although I will say that my hair lady rocks.
Awww doggies! And babies!
Watch out for petting zoo goats! A few years ago, I visited the Lincoln Park Zoo with my friend and her kids and was in charge of holding all the tickets for the assorted attractions. A goat pulled them out of my pocket, I wrestled them away, and for the rest of the afternoon I had to present tickets with a giant bite out of them.
I was just thinking I need an Ike fix and ta da! He is looking so adorable as are you and your new do.
Thanks for the article, been researching numerous places for info.
The Whippet Bench is gorgeous, I’ve never seen a bench like that before.
Definitely a great piece for designing.
