Barks and books.

I'm pretty sure that despite how much I love Dachshunds, despite how much I may squeal out of sheer delight every time I see one, we will probably never be able to tolerate owning a dog.

Both are designs by Jonathan Adler, the one with the wooden base is available in his online store and the other is from his collection for Barnes & Noble.
