A Dog’s (Awesome!) Life

October 30, 2011 By

This is Tosti the Chihuahua:


…and he has an awesome life.


Apparently, Tosti jets around the world with friend Sebastiaan in various fabulous cities…


While being carried in various fabulous bags…


…in all the latest fashions.



But don’t take my word for it, check it out the Poshness for yourself!

    I have a major fondness for the watermelon bed with the matchinks watermelon slippers!

      I love how he is dozing in said watermelon bed as owner creepily stands by him wearing matching slippers. ;D

    I wonder how Sebastian gets Tosti into Starbucks and other places where “dogs” are not normally allowed. Although, maybe this isn’t a dog but really a .. um .. er .. I don’t know. He defies description beyond “cute”…

      I call these “doggy placebos.”
      and who’s gonna stop you when they’re in your handbag?

      I live in Amsterdam too where Tosti (BTW a Tosti is a Dutch toasted cheese or ham & cheese sandwich.) Dogs are welcome in all cafes & most restaurants (not the super duper fancy ones but pretty nice ones! Also most cafes have a resident cat. It’s a great place to be a cat or dog lover!!

        The Dutch are a civilized people… The US is insane with germophobia; everything has to be shrinkwrapped and sanitized and plastic.

      That’s what the bags are for.

      New York City gal here. I’m usually able to bring my bagged-up-chihuahua mix into most places of business, though it’s much easier if their primary output isn’t food. Most of the time people don’t even notice him.

    I feel like that cupcake dog.

    It’s always a beautiful thing when two find each other and become one. *dreamy eyes*

    A most worthy addition to our hotness/cuteness posts. I love these photos so much! And that one pic with the watch and snuggle with closed eyes…Man. The love is oozing out all over. This is proshness to the max.

    Rock on, Sebastiaan and Tosti. Keep this world going ’round!

    tosti looks like his jetsetting lifestyle is tiring him out a bit. needs a spa weekend, clearly.

    Adorable! Both of them!

    i’m kind of INSANELY in love with those watermelon shoes. MUST HAVE!

    I’m not sure if I’m more jealous of Sebastian for having such a cute little dog or of Tosti for having such a great life!

    Thank goodness for the Trust Fund. Covet the watermelon shoes…

    You really threw down the gauntlet on that one :-) My LH Chi Enzo, who I must say is right up there with Tosti on the cute meter, was happy just having his own car seat and adogable t-shirts, but the watermelon bed and matching slippers has thrown him into a state of despair.

    Okay, I see another candidate for cute guys and pets calendar….lol

    Meg, I normally am one to say, “oh pooey” on hua-huas & assoc small dogues,
    but this one has such a lovely ennui of his/her jetsetting life, that I’m entranced …

  18. Fird Birfle says:

    PS: please all, note, in Pic #1: the well-worn fabrique Binky for Tosti …

    Pam, I see it too! I imagine CO is going to be inundated with attractive guys and their cute Anipals trying for a spot in the calendar. Personally, I prefer the ‘Jamin’ candid style, rather than posed shots like these, cute as they are….

    • tracylee says:
      October 31, 2011 at 8:10 am

      yeah, homeboy’s no Jamin (*swoon*), but how much he adores his puppers makes him muy hermoso

    so much to love about this: tosti’s smile in the bath photo, the way he’s body-straddling the couch at Starbucks, the zoolander quality of the black frames pic….
    sooooo cute!

  21. ceejoe says:
    October 31, 2011 at 8:27 am

    i’m thinking Meg had a hard time choosing which pics were the most awsomest and so just decided to include them all. :)

    • Fird Birfle says:
      October 31, 2011 at 8:39 am

      Also: this time, each of the ELEBENTY-forty-nine pix has a hoovertext! YAY
      Meg YAY Tosti YAY hoovertext!!!

    You know you have a Tiny Dog when you can use a wristwatch as a collar!

    Any guy who owns pets as prosh as Tosti and Sebastian is gonna be a magnet for whatever human being he wants. The guy probably has more dates than a calendar. More men need to be proud of owning such petite and delicate little morsels of doggyness. Hello, my friend…have a blessed life and thank you for loving your dogs.

  24. sunnylessmum says:
    October 31, 2011 at 10:18 am

    Omg Tosti is beyond adorable! Oh, the vulnerability of him when he is soaking wet! Eep that’s a teeny tiny one. More kudos to you for Bastiaan for loving him so much and taking such good care of him! :) I wish all pets were so well cared for…

    I wonder if the chihuahua ever gets to be just a dog.

    Am I the only one who thought of Jurgen from Zookeeper?

    Peeps, you are embarassing yourselves coveting that watermelon bed and slippers – don’t you read the hovertext?!!!?! Personally, I will hold out for the pomegranate.

    And if the next picture isn’t in the MOCO calendar, it will not really be perfect, will it?

  28. Catsquatch says:

    Is it my imagination, or is that guy Brad Pitts litte brother?

    Cute doggie ;)

    Sebastiaan is as much a man as Tosti is a dog! LOL
    Manly man and real dog please… :D

      I’m glad you agree that both the man and the dog are wonderful! Because they truly are.

      mellow the harsh frogleg–it takes all types. there’s a beholder for every beauty out there. personally, i’m a HUGE fan of men in pink (no sarcasm there, totally serious).

    Oh, this is just so great. The Tosti-meets-Teddy Bear Adidas photo is killing me. “New toys for me? New shoes…for ME???” Adorbs!

  34. Joanna Hoang says:

    I am super jealous of cutie pie Tosti and all the designer bags I see…

    LOL…clicked on the link for the watermelon slippers…and wouldn’t you know it…they are currently out of stock! I love you guys, the readers of co are a special breed! Sebastian, I think you should get a share of those sales.

  38. Jack Thomas says:

    I’m confused. Why are there a bunch of pictures of Brad Pitt and one picture of not Brad Pitt with similar hair?

  39. Julie says:

    google “watermelon shoes” – you’ll be surprised at how many images pop up.
