I'm not quite sure what to make of Alice Wang's set of two wine glasses. In the box, they look a little strange because one of them looks like it was taken out of the fire a little too soon. It's tilted! But it's tilted for a reason - so Fido can sip his wine, too.Granted, I am not sure it's actually safe for a dog to drink wine, but the idea of the Pet Plus Wine Glasses is cute for a pet-parent and his or her pup to share in a drink together, lounging out on the veranda. Just pour yourself the Pinot, and fill his glass with water.
The Pet Plus Wine Glasses are available from designer Alice Wang's website.

Of course this can be used for water, but I'm sure that some people will think it means alcohol is OK for pets. And anyone, who actually has a pet, knows that a boisterous dog or any cat I know, would have that over and broken in about 2 minutes flat.

Well, who says you have to put WINE in the cute little glasses? You could put water or, as in a previous comment, ice cream. (No chocolate though, of course. It is toxic to cats and dogs.) Our Great Dane loved vanilla. One of my cats loves ranch dressing. Vickie

BUT WHAT IT'S GOOD FOR IS ME ... AFTER I WAKE UP FROM PASSING OUT I COULD CRAWL TO MY TIPPED WINE GLASS AND SIP IT HANDS FREE.......... YES YES YES IT WOULD KEEP ME CLOSER TO MY PORCELAIN GOD
