Pet Lover Lighting
The Chihuahua Nightlight
There is not much to say about the Carlos Nightlight that probably already hasn't been said. I'm imagining what designer Kathleen Walsh was thinking when she set forward on her journey to make a night light in the form of a Chihuahua with a cone around it's head. My guess is it's a tribute to a much loved pet that met its end. Or maybe it's a sick attraction to immortalize injured pets. I don't know. It's a damn cute idea, though. And it got me talking. I'm thinking of coming out with my own line of night lights in the form of a virus, so when I go to sleep every night I'd be reminded that I may never wake up. What does a virus look like anyway?
