So you want a puppy.

But you can’t have one. (Sheesh, you can barely take care of yourself.)

Or your significant other won’t let you near anything that requires a leash, litter, or a little plastic baggie.

And the thought of going to work today makes your stomach churn. Wouldn’t it be nice, we mean really nice, to simply pad around the house, in some cushy slippers, sipping a big cup of coffee, and enjoying a little canine company?

Herewith, our solution. Alvin & Sparky, the coolest line of cashmere accessories. Already all the rage among the Conde Nast girls, Alvin & Sparky is the brainchild of British former model Samantha Goldberg. Her new collection includes handmade cashmere slippers (totally delish: you’ll never leave the house again), as well as puppies and bears (impossibly cute and no walking!).

Thus, we at DailyCandy declare today national PJ day. Log on and get yourself a pair or two. Turn around, tell your boss it’s the flu, and call it a day.

If you need a sick note, we’ll write it.

(They also make great baby shower gifts. Check out Alvin & Sparky Baby)
