“If you have a dog sitting on your desk, it’s always better if he has a nice scent,” said Gail Marcus, 60, who brings her dog, an 8½-pound Pomeranian named Nicky, to her office in Long Island City, Queens. (Nicky may have a small body “but he has a lot of coat,” she explained.)
Ms. Marcus sprays him with a scent called Sexy Beast, which she discovered at Henri Bendel’s about a year ago for $65 for a 3.4-ounce bottle. (There is also a limited holiday bling version of Sexy Beast, with encrusted Swarovski crystals, which retails for $850.)
We need a Consumer Reports style test for this to see if it actually works. And, oh yeah, it’s 100% vegan, according to the website.
The Long and Short of It All has some great stuff, especially photos. That’s the good news.
The bad news is that the author(s) are violating copyright laws like crazy — just grabbing any photos they want and re-using them without permission. Read it while you can because someone may get mad and close ‘em down pretty soon.
Life with Jamine, our rescue dachshund is the sweet, sweet tale of the slow process of making a once-abused dog whole. Jasmine the Doxie has made a lot of progress but still has a way to go. While she’s bonded with her mistress, we’re still waiting for her to fully accept the man of the house.

The Sun reports:
PECKISH pooch Taffy needed emergency surgery to remove a pair of underpants from his gut — the 40TH pair he has gobbled.
The Springer Spaniel pup got the kids’ briefs stuck in his stomach after finding them on the floor.
Owner Eubie Saayman, 34 — a vet — performed the two-hour op.
Eubie, of Tamworth, Staffs, said 18-month-old Taffy has also eaten 300 socks, 15 pairs of shoes and a Mercedes key fob.
