Hipster Puppies

I can’t get enough of Hipster Puppies these days. Isn’t this just the cutest website ever? Definitely a good complement to Unhappy Hipsters, which also features some modern pups.

Thanks to Christine from LAMADesigns, I know about the Humunga Stache Dog Toy
. On one side, it’s a fun black ball for your dog to play with while on the flip side is a gigundus moustache (yes, gigundus). For $15, this would crack me up at least once a day — totally worth it.

Yes, you heard that right! Puppy Tweets is a tweeting dog collar tag that posts tweets to Twitter with your dog’s movements. Created by Mattel, the collar sends one of 500 canned tweets to your dog’s Twitter account when it detects movement or barking.
With Puppy Tweets, you get a USB receiver that you plug into your computer, download the toy’s software and then you can create a Twitter account for your dog. Next, you attach a tag-like device to your dog’s collar that tracks actions. The tag then sends information to the receiver, which updates Twitter.
Since the tweets are canned, it’s more of a game of chance than anything else. I mean, your dog could be sniffing another dog’s butt and it might tweet, “I’m playing a round of catch by myself — it would be nice if you could join me!” Or, whatever. Certainly, this is more of a gimmicky toy than anything else, but seriously — we all know dogs can’t use Twitter. Once this device comes out, it will be interesting to see how many dogs join Twitter and start posting the same exact tweets.
According to the LA Times, Puppy Tweets should be in toy stores and pet shops nationwide by this Fall at a price of $29.99. If you buy one for your dog, be sure he or she follows Dog Milk on Twitter!

Alice Wang has designed this creepily curious hand-shaped dog leash.
Yeah, I’m a little goofy today.

If you love Bostons like I do, then you will appreciate these plush doggies available from All Mighty.
