Christmas is rapidly approaching. I know this because the smell of evergreen, peppermint and elderly relatives is already edging up my nostrils. Besides the delightful smells, Christmastime offers important traditions and activities that most Americans partake in, i.e. shopping. For some, shopping is a way of life. There is no circumstance i can think of where i am not lusting after some material object. I view life as a giant fashion show, and apparently Michael Young does too- except he sees canine fashion. While designing a dog house for Magis, an Italian plastic products manufacturer, Young created a $910 dog loft. If that sounds a little crazy, it's because is it. A dog house worth $910, I imagine, would be made from gold, or diamonds, or baby seals, surely not rotational-molded polyethylene (whatever the hell that is). But it is, and to make it sound even more classy, the plastic floor and walls are hollow so water or sand can be poured in to weigh down and ground the orange plastic box.
But maybe this is the number one gift on all dogs' lists- I'm sure Tinkerbell has asked Paris for one.
