If your dog's trudging through snow or scampering on icy sidewalks treated with salt, it's important to keep their paw pads protected. Granted this can look a bit silly to nondog owners, but it's important since the lime-rock or calcium chloride melts are poisonous to pets. Shoes prevent the risk of a pup cutting or licking his feet, but I can tell you from experience, it's hard to find ones that stay on!

It's like a patchwork puppy face! Since I admittedly go a bit crazy for
all things Boston, I'm gaga over this cute clip. Nevermind that I don't have a purse I'd snap it on (and believe less-is-more when it comes to my keys), I think this would make a nice gift and a new way for a pet parent to show off a lil one no matter where they snap.

It's been a while since we've toured a
droolworthy pet home, but this one takes the cake, errrr, coffee. I know if
I ever needed a doghouse, this one would be the foam topping on my list. After all, I love coffee and what a snarky way to acknowledge my Starbucks habit by treating North to this caffeine-free abode – his handcrafted Starbarks franchise rings in at
$300 on Etsy, are you buying in?!

Rachel Bilson (last year's winner of
celebrity pet mommy of the year) always seems to treat her cute furball to the latest goodies. This
lead of Thuman Murman is super cute and useful so it's no wonder this was the
celebrity "found" item you liked the best. All dogs need a leash, or several, so check out the sweet selection offered from the New York-based retailer,
Ella Dish.

Is the weather outside still frightful wherever you live? Since the snow and cold isn't leaving anytime soon, I asked all you savvy shoppers and Internet researchers to come
PetMarking for
cozy sweaters for our furry friends!
Take this
craveworthy Cashmere sweater, for example, petmarked by
wren.

Still looking for a super unique
holiday gift for pets? Well, when I
spotted these catnip eyeballs, they seemed just the thing for cats that
love the homemade. After all, these cute toys are made from recycled sweatshirts (inside out) so that the nubby cozy part is what your pet chews on.

While some dogs
love playing outside in the cold, others shiver and shake when venturing outside in the wintertime. I know many short-haired, lil pups benefit from an extra layer this season so let's look for some snuggly sweaters for those pet owners who have doggies (or kitties) that are especially sensitive to the chill.
All you savvy shoppers and Internet researchers out there, can you locate the cutest, coziest pet sweaters to make sure your animal is warm and stylish too?

Leave it to
Fab to spot this super cute smushy, Oliver, modeling a cashmere sweater made by
Phillip Lim. The designer (for people) is now
venturing out into clothing for furry friends, inspired by his own doggy muse. These cashmere sweaters come in gray, navy stripe and bubblegum colors with sizes from extra small to large.

We've uncovered many celebrities' purchases for pets, but what's your fave of those we've spotted this year? Check them out and make your choice.

This year was a turbulent year for all, and the traditional snack cookie was no exception. Snack companies took fans on a roller coaster ride, discontinuing cookies and then announcing their revival. In January of this year, cookie classicists
reeled from the loss of the Hydrox cookie, the crispy, chocolate sandwiches the preceded the
