My furry Valentine

So what do you get the sweetheart who prefers to run around naked? Who kisses like a garden hose? Whose only jewelry is a rabies license? A pet products association estimates that 9 million Americans will purchase Valentine’s Day gifts for their pets. This year’s choices include pet pajamas (www.handsnpaws.com) and camomile-and-lavender sprays to soothe doggy anxieties. “Just mist the air around your pet ... “ ($15.99, www.aromadog.com) But, as always, real love is something you can taste. Pelican Bay Ltd. offers a biscuit mix complete with bone-shaped cookie cutter. It all comes wrapped in a paw print bandana that you can later wrap around your little nudist’s neck. ($12 at Blue Windows, 219 N. Larchmont, Los Angeles, (323) 461-4608. Or visit www.pelicanbayltd.com).
