Two years ago, we introduced you to Gerald, the mascot and 3D paper dog behind contemporary furniture studio Lazerian. Since then, he’s become a pseudo-muse to more than 100 of the world’s most influential artists, illustrators, and designers in what is known as The Gerald Project.
I’m a huge Game of Thrones fan. I’ve read all the books, watched the show, and even have a (totally awesome) hoodie emblazoned with the names of all the dire wolves. A time or two, I’ve even jokingly expressed a desire to have a dire wolf of my own, knowing that that was a fantastic impossibility (they’ve been extinct for some 10,000 years, after all). Well, turns out I was wrong — sort of.
Whoa, whoa, whoa… Ice cream – for dogs? Yes, you read that right! Your four-legged companions can now enjoy a cool, creamy treat designed exclusively for discerning doggy palates thanks to Arrfscarf, a small company that got its start in the Chicago food truck scene selling handmade dog treats.

Moochews are super durable tug toys made from recycled rubber milking tubes — you know, the ones they use on cow milking machines! The milking tubes are washed and sanitized, so they’re safe for pups and people alike, and the residual bovine smell, which is non-offensive to human noses, drives dogs nuts (in a good way).
