Punk dogs

Article about punk dog accessories
By Laure-Anne Viselé, January 2011

Am still sick (flu…) and I can’t concentrate, so here’s another quick and easy post for y’all.

There’s a little something you don’t know about me. My husband is…

Wait for it…

… a drummer in a punk band. His band is called ‘Horny God’ (don’t ask).

It was a geek-meets-cool-dude fairy tale (the geek would be me). I am more into the Carpenters than the Ramones, so I live my quiet punkness through my aversion for all things conventional and …

… trying to stick my kid’s hair in a mohican once in a while. He’s got my curly hair, so it always ends up more Elvis than Sex Pistols.

But neverfear, there’s always the ‘Skater/the Cure’ look to fall back on.

Skater boy meets the Cure. Shame you can't see his Vans sneakers.

Now back to dogs: given my soft spot for all things punk, I indulged and went for an all-out Google fest hunting for the punkiest dogs I could find.

Enjoy.

Punk Chihuahua: badass

Ridgeback Chow Chow

Chinese Crested meets Frenchie

Top 3 punk dogs

For me, it would have to be:

1. Bull Terrier
2. Spike
3. Chihuahua

Hopefully my brain will be back to full gear soon (stupid flu). In the meantime, I’ll keep digging for the weirdest dog stuff I can find. Do you know what? I think I’ve found a new hobby!

Oh, and, if you feel you haven’t wasted enough time, you can always make your own punk dog.

Any comments?

I always love to hear from you, so go on, leave a quick comment. I’d particularly love one if:

• You’re into pimping your dog
• You want to give me your top 3 faves
• You’ve dug out more great punk dog pictures
• You know of more weird dog looks I haven’t dug out yet
• You can give me a juicy caption for these!
