fire hydrant wall decalYou probably have an area set aside in your house where your pets’ food and water dishes hang out. Maybe there’s a dog or cat bed nearby too, and it’s the dedicated pet area.

Well, just as you decorate the walls in your living room, bedrooms, etc., you can now decorate the walls in your pet spaces. Got a dog who likes to lift a leg on every tree and fire hydrant? Then you might get a kick out of sticking this fire hydrant wall decal behind his area.

Available in glossy yellow, glossy red and black, the decals are easy to stick to the wall, and they’re supposed to be easy to remove too, so you don’t have to worry about the kind of damage that is done with stickers. It’s a fun way to decorate your pet space!

This particular decal costs $29 at Lewas Designs Etsy store (and if fire hydrants aren’t your thing, there are other decals to choose from too).

Go Latin with Pet Names

Posted in Trends at 6:34 pm by Pet Luxury

The number of web sites out there devoted to naming dogs, babies, pet rocks, etc. shows that I’m not the only one who ponders deeply on finding the perfect name for a new pet. Oh, sure, you can go with an old stand-by, but if you’re like me, you prefer something unique. Ideally, a pet name should reflect the animal’s personality. If you’d like to add an element of sophistication, try using a latin word for a name.

For example, Fortis means strong. Miles means soldier. Callidus means clever. And Dux means commander (perfect for a headstrong Rottweiler, eh?).

If you’re not up on your Latin, Google “latin english dictionary” or check out this page, which offers a few ideas on latin pet names: Dog Names with Latin Roots
