25 of the best dog tattoos on the interwebs

Your dog loves you and what better way to honour Fido’s unconditional love than with a very permanent declaration of love returned. Not such a bad idea, is it? Better than inking “I love Byron” only to find out Byron is a douche and has been dating your sister for three months. Amirite – amirite? Anywho… I digress. If you so happen to be thinking of inking you’ve come to the right place. Please see below for our collection of the very best minimalist and modern #dogink you’ll find on the interwebs. 1.

Swipe Left or Right for Tindog?

I discovered Tindog with intent. There I was, just chilling feeling all entrepreneurial when I turned to my fiance’ and said “you know what?! There needs to be a Tinder for dogs.” A quick Google search later and wouldn’t you know it… it’s been done. Ugh sad face. Created by the folks at Holidog, Tindog aims to connect owners and pets with the ease of a swipe left or wipe. Now in the name of thorough ‘bloganism’ – blogging/journalism (I think I just coined a new term)* Dexter and I downloaded the app to investamagate. *EDIT: That term is already taken. Losing at originality today! To set up an account it’s fairly straight forward, you connect your Facebook profile, fill in pet particulars – ASL, upload images of pet and parent, write a quick bio and you’re away! Dexter had specific requests for his profile and knew exactly how he wanted to appeal to potential furpals #available. So with careful consideration we selected the following images from his Insta.

Time to try #Pawleo

The whole world is going Paleo crazy. Not convinced? Just type #Paleo in an Instagram search. Actually, here… I did it for you: #Paleo. See what I mean? The word Paleo may even make some of you turn away in ‘over it’ exasperation. Please don’t. I’m not about to go all ‘Paleo Pete‘ on you. Paw fella has had a raw deal of late… Instead, I’m here to tell you about a great little Melbourne start-up called Pawleo. https://instagram.com/p/6GOHA-zZ3f/?taken-by=pawleomelbourne The gorgeously happy pair below are the inspiration and the brains behind Pawleo; Archie the Airedale & Jess Morton. Archie the Airedale has suffered from allergies and any good furparent of a furbaby with allergies knows, just how awful that can be. The endless scratching and discomfort is heartbreaking. My little Dexter suffered so badly that he developed little scabs; a terrible time in the Crescenzi/Davis household. So for that reason whenever an all natural food company pops up, it most certainly piques my interest. Add an Aussie brand to boot and I’m all squeals and hand claps. https://instagram.com/p/6MOjJZzZzn/?taken-by=pawleomelbourne https://instagram.com/p/5qBBzZzZ1B/?taken-by=pawleomelbourne

Eco Friendly Pet Cave

I (much like the rest of the interwebs) adore E.T.S.Y. I spend countless hours searching through shops from all the amazing artisans across the world. I find nothing more satisfying than discovering that one bespoke item that is un-replicated. Unique. Mine! As enjoyable as it is to find those pretty little things, only you have snapped up, it is far better to share them. So, for this reason, I thought it best to share my precious finds with you. Each week I will post my shop or product of the week with you. Hopefully, you and pooch will adore these products as much as I. This week E.T.S.Y shop under the spotlight is Agnes Felt by Agne’ Audejiene from Lithuania. Agne’ is a superstar with felt. Something I would like to try myself one day. Ange’ provides both cat and dog caves. Perfect for the pet who loves to burrow under the covers or find those hidden spots to snooze. Agne’ turned her love of felt into a nifty little business with unique pieces. Here a …

Lunch at The Scarborough Hotel

Drive South of Sydney for an hour or so and you’ll reach The Scarborough Hotel. A very special hotel that won’t disappoint. A little unassuming by the sidewalk. It’s not until you step inside you realise you’re in for quite the treat. The interior is rich! It’s restaurant, come front bar, come art gallery and it works! Step a little further inside, order a wine, turn around and take in that view! With the dog? Send the Mister or Mrs inside to order drinks. Head to the door by the right hand side (on the outside of the hotel) and make your way across the lush green grass to the furthest table to the right. Snap that baby up! In a group? Reserve the cabana in the far left hand corner. You’ll feel completely alone with the view of the ocean and the lush green hills that backdrop this great hotel. We prefer the above tables for that reason. You can take in the hotel, the hills and the ocean and be far enough from …

Food from The Winery

The Winery

Didn’t know The Winery was pooch friendly? Well.. you’re welcome. The savvy Sydneysider knows this place on Crown St in Surry Hills well. Think pretty lights, funky decor and a happening crew of patrons. The food is delish, cocktails are dangerous and they (in my opinion) have the best events in Surry Hills for girly brunches. Check them out for yourself here.
