Using:
Most well-edited dog stores, espesh in LA, aren’t really for dogs: they typically cater to expensive rats leashed to silicone toys.
Thankfully I just discovered Blue Collar dog store in Echo Park, a curated warehouse offering “supplies for the working dog.” Think collars with studs instead of crystals, camo-print mats instead of leopard pillows, and grass-fed bullies instead of tofu treats.
Was that a giggle because Major Dukes rides in a Porsche’s customized backseat?
He earned it. And since Major skirted a career in narcotics, hangs around a chick sporting Giuseppes and mink, he’s the Jay-Z of dogs…

Hating:
A lavender aromatherapy candle designed for a dog? For use “during bath time to help keep your pet calm and relaxed”?
As Major Dukes is better educated than 99.91% of mankind, he’s not sure if he’s more offended when pets are humanized for marketing reasons or out of misguided sincerity.
I told him the latter offends me more, but Major said after we finish taking photos for my blog, he’ll re-read Nietzsche’s Animal Philosophy and get back to me…

Hating
Go Pet Design’s modern designer dog crate gets praised as the Bertoia Chair of dog crates.
Go Pet Design’s modern wire dog crate is gorgeous, sure. But it’s hard to imagine it sitting seamlessly in your pad, or being cozy for your dog.
If you want a choice modern dog crate, why not choose one that looks and works like furniture?

Buying
This luxury wood dog crate is larger and cheaper than the DenHaus designer dog crate I suspect it’s heavily inspired by.
Ayn Rand biographies, Edith Wharton novels, and Jimmyjane candles stacked on the top, a highly trained German shepherd named Major Dukes lounging in the bottom.
So choice…

Wanting
I’m getting a dog.
And not a toy poodle. Or even a well behaved standard poodle. I’m getting a German shepherd trained to be smarter than most humans. If my dog, Major Dukes, could speak English, he’d be the president of the United States.
I’ll share more about Major later. But first I’ve got to buy a dog crate for Major. I live in a little, loft-like bachelorette pad, so I need a modern dog crate that’ll double as Major’s bed and my side table. This modern wood dog crate, in black, is choice, but I’m not sure it’s big enough for Major…
