Taiwan’s Leatherprince is a husband-and-wife team that creates handmade leather goods. Their shop is full of adorable dogs adorning colorful leather iPhone and iPad cases, wallets, wristlets, pencil cases, charms, and keyfobs. Their creations are seriously among the cutest things I’ve ever seen, right up there with Ryan Gosling and bushbabies.

Out on one of our daily walks, Miles and I recently stumbled upon what we referred to as “The Dachshund House.” Right over the Oakland/Berkeley border is this charming home adorned with several constructed dachshunds. It’s truly a visual treat for all those who have the fortune to pass by.
Last weekend I had the privilege of attending Golden Gate Field’s Annual Wiener Races presented by Pet My Wiener. Every year Dachshunds from all over the San Francisco Bay area are invited to compete for one thousand dollars in cash prizes and the sought after title of the fastest Dachshund in the Wiener Nationals. Believe me, this event was every bit as charming as it sounds! In total, 108 Dachshunds competed in 10 heats for the coveted prize. Each racer brought with him/her two participating owners, one to start the race with, and one to holler and jump at the finish line.
Cute wiener dog decor alert!
Spotted these beauties over at Urban Outfitters. The problem is deciding who sleeps on the butt.
