We’ve seen Tori switch up her maternity style from hippy to vampy, but now she’s testing out baby-like accessories — this time, taking her dog out for a spin in a stroller! While out walking with husband Dean McDermott and two other pooches (who walked on the ground), Tori pushed her pug Mimi La Rue in a mesh-sided stroller. Is the pug too pooped to trot or is Tori feeling out what being a mommy is like? Guess she’ll find out soon enough when her baby boy arrives in the new year.

Want to make your dog stand out in a crowd? For those of us who take our pups to dog runs, it’s not just a style statement, it’s the best way to track them in the pack! These bright, colorful Sailors Knot collars, $38 (and matching leashes, $42) from Mascot fit the bill — and could the bone-shaped buckle be cuter? And if you aren’t just gifting your own pooch, consider adding in one of their Varsity sweaters, $60, for a complete and coordinated gift for the dog-lover in your life.

For those of us with dogs, playing fetch can occasionally be more fun for the pooch than for our tired throwing arm. Give your pooch-loving friends the gift that Leonardo DiCaprio (and a frisky French Bulldog) is already putting to good use — the Chuckit! Ball Launcher, $10. It may look like a back-scratcher, but it’s actually a panacea for your weary arm, letting you consistently throw anywhere between 100 and 140 feet. So, just make sure to take this gift outside before you test it out!

As Olympia Dukakis famously said in Steel Magnolias, “The only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to accessorize.” But that doesn’t mean that we can’t help them out (as Paris is demonstrating, left)! After much ooh-ing and ah-ing over cute the puppies pictured in our Stars and Their Dogs! gallery, we came up with some of our favorite items for the totally pampered pooch (like Paris Hilton’s, left).

Halloween is approaching, so why not dress your dog up too? Go the barnyard route with a Pig, $35 or Cow costume, $35. Or go traditional with a Pumpkin outfit, $25.
