Oprah.com

Sure your dog can't read the magazine or understand the show, but that doesn't mean she can't live like one of Oprah's pampered pooches. In fact, you can completely deck out your dog in Oprah-approved accessories including an "O" collar, an "O" leash and an "O" pique polo shirt in your choice of Chateau Pink, Cape Blue or Hampton Green. If you are really committed, you can even get a soft food bowl imprinted with Oprah's initial right on the front.

Baby, It's Cold Outside: Should You Dress Your Dog for the Snow?

With temperatures dropping, staying inside is looking like a mighty good option. But it's hard to hole up in the house when you have a pooch that needs to go for a walk three times a day.

While you can bundle up to face the freeze, your pet just has their coat to keep them warm. Which brings us to the age-old dilemma: Should I put clothes on my pet because it is cold? We chatted with veterinarian Dr. Jill A. Richardson -- an expert in pet safety, vice president of My Dog Walks, a consultant for the Veterinary Information Network and an instructor for the Penn Foster Vet Tech Program -- about her medical opinion on the pet-iquette for dressing doggies in the winter.

Big dogs seem to hate wearing clothes of any kind. Do larger dogs need protection from the cold?
Most dogs have a good fur coat that will give them natural protection against cold weather. Some that have a thin coat, especially those native to warmer clients, may need a little extra protection when the temperature drops. However, it's very important to pick out pet clothing with safety in mind. Make sure that the clothing does not obstruct the pet's vision. Avoid buttons or accessories that could be chewed off and ingested by your pet.

Doggies in Antlers Look Oddly Familiar

In the Company of Dogs

In the Company of Dogs is peddling this season's cutest holiday accessory for Fido: faux-reindeer antlers ideal for any four-legged creature this side of the North Pole. Maybe they're a bit plusher than those worn by Santa's sleigh-pullers, but a pooch can dream, right?

Just a word of advice: they're probably not going to pull a sleigh just because they've got antlers, but they'll still make for some great snapshots!

The Alabama Give Dogs the Fancy Treatment

Best Friend's Home

If the home of your dreams comes replete with lattice windows, real bitumen shingles, a removable roof, and a dormer that covers the entrance, then you'd better get on all fours and start eating from a bowl because we've found your dream house. Of course, there's a catch: It's for dogs.

The Alabama from Best Friend's Home might be the fanciest dog house we've ever seen, and we wouldn't necessarily protest its being a perfectly lovely place for our pooch to retreat to upon being shamed. Each model is handmade, crafted from wood and weather-resistant paint, and comes with the option of having its intended four-legged occupant's name imprinted on the door.

The Alabama: possibly the only dream home in the world where urinating on the floor isn't just permitted; it's expected.
