So if you know a dog who fits the bill, get nominating fast!

Onion is extremely proud to be among the sponsors for this event, where a couple of Onion Lights will be making an appearance!

Onion and the Arctic Monkeys!

A very nice man just let us know that there's an Onion Light on the cover of Matt Helders (of the Arctic Monkeys)'s Late Night Tales. And there's a clip on YouTube too -- just Matt Helders, and lots of lovely drums, and then a dog light...the Onion Light! What an honour for Onion!

Take a look!

Onion Lights are available at oniondog.com! While stocks last...

Onion the muse - again

Onion has inspired another artist! This time, her YouTube catflap video has become a piece of as-you-watch art in which Onion materialises before your very eyes!

Thank you to Swedish animator SoiledArt for this contribution to Onion art!

For other Onion artworks, see
Peckham Pet-Tastic, a fancy-dress picnic for dogs - Onion is the face of the event!
Bullyton, a magazine focusing on bull terrier rescue - Onion is covergirl.

Bliss for a bullie light

The Onion Light has today been featured on a blog that's full to brimming with cool dog stuff. If anyone's got any dog dollars to spare, Dog Bliss will give you some great ideas of where to spend them!
And for those of you who already have an Onion Light, please send us your pictures so we can include them in Onion's Gallery. Here's just one pic, to tempt you...

That's handsome Wilson, lit by the Onion Light!

Have dog, will travel

Onion has her own luggage. It's one of the requirements of a dog diva, apparently. The adapted suitcase contains her favourite possessions -- food, bed, kong, blanket, and on this occasion an Onion Light to give to a friend. Everything a pampered pooch might need for a long weekend away! Hampshire, here we come.

Liberty for Onion Lights!

Onion herself has been on film sets, on the red carpet, even at Cruft's. The Onion Lights, not to be outdone, are currently making appearances at Clerkenwell's Zetter Hotel

at Soho light boutique SKK

and now at the famous department store Liberty's of London.

Would Onion be welcome in all these smart and stylish places? Judge for yourselves...

Market Mutt

A couple of weeks ago we were invited to join Exmouth Market's late-night Christmas shopping Friday. On a pouring wet evening, the comforting Onion Lights sold out, so by popular demand we will be back today, December 15th!

(Thanks to Mark Blunden of the Islington Tribune for the photo)
So if you're in the area (Exmouth Market is in London, where Roseberry Avenue meets Farringdon Road, nearest tube Farringdon), come along and say hello.
Today, for the first time ever, we will also have Onion Softies -- small soft toys modelled on the lovely Onion (also available on Onion's website, www.oniondog.com!

Hurry, available only while stocks last!

A Zetter Class of Dog!

Seven Onion Lights are living in the lap of luxury – in the suites of London’s Zetter hotel!

Named Best Small Hotel by Visit London, this ‘restaurant with rooms’ has been singled out for its style, comfort and ‘quirky personality’.


No wonder the super-stylish, quirky, personality-packed Onion Lights seem so at home there!

Cyberdogs unite!

It's so great being a worldwide webdog! Not only do I meet other dogs in the park, I meet them online too. I have recently met two particularly handsome bull terriers. Allow me to introduce them:

Van in Canada, who, like me, has a taste for viewing life through a catflap...


and Wilson in Wales, whose owner bought him an Onion Light to keep him company. Now wasn't that thoughtful!

We came across the slide show of Wilson and the light by accident, and visited his owner Mountainear's blog, where she says nice things about the Onion Light. I hope one day I get to meet Wilson in the flesh-and-fur!

Keep blogging everyone, and thanks especially to Van and Wilson for getting in touch!

Have you seen the light?

Earlier this week Onion finally got to meet the Onion Light up close and personal, in the comfort of her own home...



As you can see, she looks less than impressed!

Luckily, other reactions have been rather better. For example, one little girl is no longer afraid of the dark now that she has an Onion Light to protect her at night!

The Onion Light, modelled on Onion herself, is available at www.oniondog.com

Let there be Onion Light!

Every celeb worth their dog biscuits must have a product created in their name. Behold, the Onion Light, modelled on Onion's shapely curves, and now on view in SKK, Lexington Street, in London's Soho!



Onion had to check it out for herself!

The Onion Light was sculpted by Myra Heller and created by light guru Shiu-Kay Kan. It will be available on Onion's website, www.oniondog.com from mid-November!
