I know it’s not snowing. And it hasn’t snowed enough for me to see anymore than The Classic Two Folding Chairs or The Ol’ Reliable Traffic Cone, but this was at least fun to reminisce on some of the funny ones. The light up Jesus statue dibs? Hilarious. The chair with the “don’t take my spot, take a beer instead” with consolation beverages? Groundbreaking. And while nobody has any need to shovel out a parking spot right now, much less your dog for the car they definitely have, this box is still funny, you just have to really, REALLY suspend your disbelief. But maybe if you come buy one, it’ll start snowing and then it’ll be as funny as intended. Regardless, I think I’m hilarious, please laugh (and buy a box, maybe).

We’re lucky Rocky doesn’t drive. I’d never cross his dibs spot.

I thought I was a genius when I came up with the perfect Ruff Box to start out the year in Chicago. I counted on it being at least a little snowy still. But as I’m writing this, not only is it not snowing and hasn’t snowed in a week, it’s also 52°. So all my jokes about what your cat would use to DIBS! their hypothetical shoveled parking spot is even more hypothetical than intended. The box is even less funny once you think about how erratic our weather has been and WHY it has been erratic and—never mind. No doom spiral. This box is FUNNY and a cat consumer representation of a CHICAGO TRADITION. So come pick one up and Maybe the universe will align and it’ll snow again so the box will be as funny as I intended. Anyway. Happy New Year, I guess!

The many faces of Rocky being back. Scroll to see how he really feels about dogs coming into the store. (But keep bringing them. He needs to be taken down a peg)

Is it giving your cat a gift if you give your cat everything they want anyway? Rhetorical question. Get your cat a gift for Christmas. Or get your family members’ cats’ gifts. We’ve got them for you. I tied them in bows that your cat will probably chew on which maybe makes them more appealing? Idk. It’s hard to tell with cats, as always. But this box makes the perfect present for whoever’s felines in your life, it’s got three treats, two toys, and one wet food so they’ll like at least ONE thing in the box. Well. . . they’ll at least like the box. The BOX box. The cardboard box. Come on down and get yourself a $25 cardboard box with stuff inside your cat may or may not like. It’s always a gamble. I’m so good at marketing, thank you and good night.

Oh, you don’t give your dog a present for Christmas? Well, me either, but that’s just because I don’t have one. But you know who does? Everyone else in my family. So that’s right, you guessed it, everyone’s getting presents for the dogs for Christmas. Consider me the Oprah of giving people’s dogs things: “You get a dog present, you get a dog present, you get a dog present, everybody gets a dog present!!!!” If you’re in the same boat as me—we’ve got you covered. This is STUFFED with holiday goodies (red and green everything, as you can see) including the Santa LAMB CHOP!!! I know you’re not used to seeing Lamb Chop in the Haus. . . but you will for a limited time and ONLY if you purchase a December Ruff Box, dog edition. So purchase one in-store or online now!!!

NEW coats have dropped at the Haus!!! Rocky (reluctantly and heavily bribed) modeled some for us. He did not mind the light-weight reversible fleeces and the puffer coat, but was not a great fan of the heavier duty fleece lined apex nylon coat. Everyone say “Thank You Rocky” for taking one for the team.

Available sizes: 08 - 24 ; XS - ###L (differs according to style).

Model is wearing sizes 14 & small

The dogs are getting FED in the November box—everything barely fits!!! It’s pumpkin and harvest galore, plus a turkey neck that you can save for turkey day!! Or see if your pup likes it and come by and grab another (or a few more, no judgement). Plus a pinecone toy + cherry pie peanut butter to keep ‘em busy when you’re cooking and eating. Stop by the Haus or shop online because the November Ruff Box is available now for purchase!!
