Immediately after moving to Dallas, I noticed Uptown’s most popular accessory: dogs.

It seems like everyone in the city totes a perfect pooch. So when my friend Amy adopted a new friend named Sheffield (below), I wasn’t too surprised.

Now the challenge is finding stylish and affordable puppy supplies for her duplex. Because nothing ruins a posh space like an unattractive dog bed or crate.

Of course, you can splurge on modern dog furniture, but it just feels wrong to spend that much on a dog bed. (No offense, Sheffield.) Instead, you can invest in a crate cover like this duvet. You could also just spring for this crate. And, at minimum, I think Sheffield would like that “woof” treat jar from Crate&Barrel above.

I think I’ve discovered the secret to behind why so many people own dogs in Dallas. It’s another excuse to shop.
