Boo is just your average dog who loves chicken, running outside, following his big brother around, and squeaky toys. He also happens to have 1.7 million Facebook fans, enjoys sitting on the laps of celebrities, currently holds the title of “the world’s cutest dog,” and just released his own book with Chronicle Books. Okay, so maybe he’s not your average dog. But he is a total doggy sweetheart and we were beyond thrilled here at Dog Milk to get an interview with Boo, the most adorable internet-phenom ever!

Christopher R. Weingarten is a Brooklyn-based freelance writer whose work can currently be seen in The Village Voice, RollingStone.com, Spin, Revolver, and Nylon. He’s also the creator of my favorite internet-phenomenon-turned-book, Hipster Puppies. What began as a Tumblr blog joke on a lazy Saturday afternoon has recently made it’s way on to the printed page. Hipster Puppies
, an outrageously funny photo collection of snarky, impeccably accessorized, and adorable dogs, is a must have book for every dog lover, hipster, dog-loving hipster or hipster-hating person out there
Being the huge fan that I am, I was over-joyed to have had the privilege of interviewing Christopher about his book. From his description of the inspiration behind Hipster Puppies to the reveal of his favorite Hipster Puppy ever, I was (to no surprise) in stitches over his laugh-out-loud responses.

A few weeks back I was blown away by Isaac Mizrahi’s New York Fashion Week show. Yes, his designs were incredibly lovely, but what really caught my eye were the glamorous poodles that proudly walked the runway along side Mizrahi’s models. Wanting to know more about this spectacular show, I was thrilled when the talented groomers, responsible for styling these catwalk dogs, agreed to answer some of my questions. With their creative approach to styling and show-stopping expertise, The Salty Paw in New York City is certainly not your average grooming spa.

Recently, I visited Paco Collars in Oakland, CA and owner Ana Poe was kind enough to sit down for an impromptu interview with me. I have been passing by her incredibly cool shop for months, and I’m so happy I finally stopped by to check it out. Paco Collars is half shop and half studio, and it was such a pleasure to observe them making their exquisite leather collars right in front of me. Perhaps the best part of my experience was hearing Anna’s incredible story of how she got started and learning about how she incorporates her fans and the community into her business. Hanging out with her beautiful dogs was a big plus as well!

Keane Collars is owned by Michael Normore and named after Michael’s lovable Siberian Husky (above). Inspired by his pup, Michael created a line of stylish yet tough leather collars and leashes for just about any size dog. Having a large breed dog myself (Lulu is ~75lbs), I know how challenging it is to find accessories that work for bigger dogs.
