Someone (okay, my mother) recently noted that it was shocking this blog hadn't yet featured a doggie post.

Everyone on the Pimlico team either has a dog, or is actively searching rescue sites for one. Rest assured--there will be many, many more gift suggestions for dog and cat fans in the coming months.

In the meantime, let's start with something small. While some dogs are better with chew toys than plush ones, my (three) pugs go nuts for anything with a squeaker. As I was perusing one of my favorite sites, Jax and Bones, I found this one that will be perfect for them to fight over.

Made from naturally dyed wool, and looking just quirky enough for my tastes, this squirrel is as perfect as it gets.
