The post Adorable Doesn’t Even Cut It: Meet Norbert appeared first on MyTrendTales.
]]>“My life’s purpose is to make others smile,” reads his bio. “I once thought I couldn’t do anything important because I’m so little, but I’ve learned you don’t have to be big to make a BIG difference in the world.” No truer words have e’er been spoken.
Indeed, Norbert’s presence makes a difference. A proud philanthropist, he serves as a therapy dog and volunteers at Children’s Hospital LA. Over the past years, he has also volunteered at nursing homes, special events, and schools. Because when you’re this cute, it’s only fair to share your gift with others.
Alongside his human owner, Julie Steines (Freyermuth), Norbert has also launched the project Norberthood For Good. “Everyone who helps me spread smiles is part of the Norberthood!” notes the pup. “My mission as a therapy dog is simple: to spread smiles, inspire kindness, and bring comfort to those in need,” his website further reads. “In addition to my time, I have donated thousands of dollars and Norbert products to charitable causes. Philanthropy is the foundation of the Norberthood.”
Sign us up to the Norberthood ASAP!

]]>The post We’ve Fallen Head Over Paws for Pom Pom Chewy appeared first on MyTrendTales.
]]>A Pomeranian rescue from Northern Ontario, and currently based in Toronto, Chewy’s enjoys a busy schedule. Both an actor and a model, he has featured in independent films like Humor Me and has been seen on the set of the film The Secret Life of Pets.
According to owner Nicole, Chewy’s career skyrocketed largely thanks to social media: “When I sent photos to friends, I would put different-sized items beside him to show them how small he was,” she shared in an interview with Animal Wellness Magazine. “All the photos went on my personal Instagram and I realized it was slowly becoming his own account.”
These days, Chewy’s wardrobe includes anything from pineapple printed shirts to pinstripe straight-leg pants. He also enjoys sporting trendy eyewear.
“One of my favorite stories about Chewy happened at our first Pet Expo,” recalled Nicole. “A little boy had just got a pair of glasses and was very insecure about them. Chewy loves wearing glasses and happened to be wearing a pair that day. I’ll never forget the moment that little boy saw Chewy with his glasses. Suddenly, it was like glasses were the best thing in the world!”
According to Nicole, Chewy’s favorite pastimes include dressing up to travel, making appearances across North-America, and hopping from one sunny patio to the next. We’d love to come along!

]]>It was shortly into his first year of life that he had his first debut on television for winning best trick at an annual wiener dog event, and ever since that appearance, life snowballed into that of a renowned international celebrity. Cruso has even won a People’s Choice Award for “Animal Star” of 2018.
But according to his owner and acting manager, Ryan Beauchesne, Crusoe is a down-to-earth kind of celebrity. “Crusoe is well-known for his calm, easygoing personality,” he relayed in an interview with Dogster. “We did a TV interview once where Crusoe sat on a chair in his captain uniform next to me — he just sat there the whole time, and later everyone commented on how shocked they were at how chill he was!”
Costumes are a big part of the wiener’s act, which also includes hilarious YouTube videos, where he’s seen having a blast. “Although we give a voice to Crusoe, we feel that the personality you see online is a reflection of his real personality,” explained Beauchesne. “He loves adventure and exploring new places, and for a small dog, he’s very brave. He loves to play and squeak from morning till midnight, but is also not very cuddly or kissable (hence his tough guy image online).”
His celebrity status also means that Crusoe travels frequently, including to such places as Maine, Bahamas, Florida, France, Italy, Switzerland, Mexico. “Sometimes, I wonder if Crusoe is actually a special dog or if it’s just this online character we’ve built that makes him seem special,” says his owner. “But people — even those who do not know he’s a celebrity — comment over and over how handsome he is or how human-like he is. So I think there is something different about him. He was meant to be a celebrity.”

]]>“We came across the breed and were intrigued by their personality and the fact that they are not as hyper as Huskies,” relayed the South African pet owners in an interview with helloBARK!, “not to mention their amazing look and stature! We undertook some research and had our mind set on getting a Malamute.”
Their pet Alaskan Malamute, Tydus, would soon win over their hearts and Instagram accounts. But the couple already had another pet back home: an African Grey parrot named Trez. “Trez is much more vocal,” they admit. “He is our African grey parrot and has a motor mouth! He warms up his voice box every morning at 6am.”
The two would turn out to be quite the dynamic duo! “Tydus starts howling as soon as he hears an ambulance or whenever he is bored,” relay the owners. “Trez will then pitch in and say: ‘Tydus stop it. Good boy!’ Trez comforts him by talking to him while they are alone.” With both pets hilariously feisty, the two make for a great pet brand.
And while they might be very opinionated, we’re happy to follow their dog-and-parrot adventures from afar!

]]>And being that his parents are social media gurus, his photos are sure to include witty captions and descriptions. “Icelandic dogs be like: ᴮʲöʳᵏ ᵇʲöʳᵏ,” reads one funny caption above a photo of Pavlov enjoying the snowy weather.
And being the star that he is, some of his adventures have also caught the attention of the media. A video of him hopping around the Utah snow has been featured in the Daily Mail, while his college graduation at UCLA has turned viral. “Pavlov’s graduation was something that we thought would be cute and fun since the UCLA community has been such a big part of Pavlov’s life thus far,” his owners in an interview with Mashable explained.
Both Osuna and Tram have graduated from UCLA, majoring in Psychology, which inspired Pavlov’s name. “Thus far, UCLA hasn’t formally recognized Pavlov’s graduation, but if they wanted to give him an honorary dog-gree, that would be pretty legit,” they joked.

]]>“Unlike other major celebrities, I really enjoy mingling with the common folk,” joked the Greyhound in a mock interview with Lifestyle Tails. “Adelaide has very few A-grade celebrities like myself and it gives people a real buzz when they see me on the street. Plus, it keeps me grounded, which I think is important.”
Her owner, Anna, added in an interview with Channel 7’s The Morning Show: “We do get noticed everywhere we go. Going out for coffees, I’ll often get people tooting their horns and yelling out ‘Margaret’.” It makes sense if you judge by Margaret’s thriving online presence. See some of her latest outfit choices on Instagram and buy a jumpsuit for your own dog on her Etsy shop.

]]>Known for his high-fives, Chewie will stretch out his paw to anyone willing. But life wasn’t always fun and games for the fluff ball. He started his life in China with a group of unwanted dogs, sold for consumption in China’s meat market. His owners knew instantly they had to step in and had bought him for $35.
“We heard of the breed as kids growing up, but since we never had dogs, we knew nothing about Pomeranians,” said the owners in an interview with Hello Bark. “It wasn’t until we brought him home with us and took him to the vet that they said he might be a Pomeranian.”
“Chewie has made us fall in love with the breed,” they gush. “Pomeranians are known to be yappy, aggressive and stubborn. Chewie is the complete opposite of all that. He has his own characteristics and makes us think a little boy is trapped inside this dog body.”
Could he be any cuter?!

]]>You can follow their lush procedures which include bubble baths and blowouts. Aside from being extremely cute, their videos have an ASMR feel to them – a soothing experience to both pets and owners.
Regular dog grooming is said to contribute to a pet’s well being and health, and can even improve their lifespan. Although it depends mostly on the breed, hair length, and type of coat, regular grooming should be done every once in a while. For young puppies and dogs who have never been groomed, more frequent grooming or brushing at home should be done to get the dog used to being handled and to avoid grooming issues into adulthood.
An important part of responsible dog care, it also adds to your pets overall cuteness, as SHU AND TREE clearly demonstrate.

]]>“The designs are based on manga, anime/movie characters, or Japanese playing cards,” explained his owner, a Japanese woman named Semba, in an interview with BuzzFeed. “They are things that I like.”
“The main character is the non-moving dog, and my art skill is secondary,” she admits. “People laugh when they see these photos. They also praise the dog, who manages to stay still. Chihuahua-mametaro is cooperative. He’s usually quiet and kind, so he rarely gets angry at something.”
The costumes themselves have a DIY feel to them, made out of cardboard and cut into simply shapes and designs. How does Semba get her dog to wear his cosplay outfits? She simply tells him to “go home!” and Chihuahua-mametaro pops his head through the makeshift masks.
Here he is in all his glory.
