Dapper Dog Styles: Houndworthy Edition

It's not every day that I receive a package from the UK, but when I do, it's for my dog. Today the little guy was lucky enough to get a box from England's own Houndworthy, and boy were we excited. I tend to have a "little kid on Christmas morning" reaction to awesome packaging, and Houndworthy nails it. Good gear for dogs and eye candy for aesthetically-minded humans.

After months of wanting to replace his nylon harness with something a bit more suitable for his distinguished, gentlemanly nature, I'm pleased to have replaced it with the Houndworthy Monogram Collar & Lead set. Made in Kent, England from vegetable dyed Italian leather and sturdy brass hardware, it's really beautiful and understated. It's available in four different color combos, with your dog's name (and number if you want) stamped right into the leather.

As if it weren't enough that they took him to the next level of awesome dog-ness, they threw in a Scottish deer antler chew... which he promptly began parading around the house like a mob boss with a giant cigar. Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em.

This is the equation: 
Cheap stuff looks cheap.
Looking good is feeling good.
ERGO
Cheap stuff doesn't look good.
If you don't look good, you don't feel good.
DO THE MATH.**
