AWESOME DOG STICKERS/ART

Tonight I found all these cool stinckers from  REDBUBBLE.COM. I'm a weirdo for my age, I still like putting stickers on my car, partially because it's OLD and needs them so no one think I don't *KNOW* that it's a bit of a wreck, and secondly it just reminds me of being younger. Conversely I *HATE* buttons, like the kind with sayings and photos- absolutely HATE them. Thank god these aren't buttons!

 

BEST PUG STICKER EVER~

It's PET {reGR}ETSY time of the week!

When good crafts go to the DOGS...it's REGRETSY TIME.

 

Have you heard of Regretsy? It's a fantastic BLOG/SITE that highlights some of the MOST HORRID selections of crafty merchandise you might never otherwise run across from ETSY.COM, a very popular commercial site for artist, craftspeople and resellers. Etsy brings crafters and their wares to a unified marketplace where like-minded people can browse online and buy  them, like a MEGA renegade craft fair 24-7.

Before I move on to comment on my VERSION of Regretsy, First things first...

#1 I LOVE people making stuff, so KUDOS to anyone for making stuff.

#2 Finding hideous stuff on Etsy was harder than I thought. Maybe I'm just a happy optimist.

#3 If any of this is yours, please don't take it personal...I probably LOVED your other stuff for $ale, but you gotta ADMIT, it takes a special person to LIKE THESE items...I HOPE you sell them!

Here's some of the words i searched to try to get AWFUL regresty worthy dog stuff DOGS + FLEECE Dogs + COLORFUL DOGS + WOW DOGS + RAINBOWS DOGS + LITLLE +FLUFFY +CUTE I might as well have searched DOGS + JAPANESE...let me try that now.
NOPE! Japanese stuff is CUTE & GLITTERY!

------------------------------------------------------

You could pretty much sell me ANYTHING with a chihuahua on it...but NO not this. This is like a Badgerhuahua. It reminds me of Caddyshack and also the toothbrush commercial in the movie Grease.

Apparently, that's FABRIC....I thought it was a melted bottle cap of some sort...ALSO the description tells me that's a GOLDEN RETRIEVER puppy in the center.  "Are you certain?' ---"of course-Look at the ears!"

hmmmm...once it's covered with hair [In case you HAVE NOT GUESSED-it's a hair clip] who can tell.

So THERE is a BLANKET in there?...and a LOOFA? LIke a SPONGE?  Oh a LOOFA toy? I think that's confusing for most people.
I thought it was going to be a Bonzai Kitten when I ordered it-Drat.

I could go ON and ON-NO REALLY I could, but I'll leave it to you all to find your own PETREGRETSY and let me know what you found and the search terms you used to find your treasures. Happy Hunting my Lil'Pups!
*Last minute addition. I saw this BLOG post come through this AM on the Pawcurious site...it's just the sort of day for outing hideous pet stuff.

HONORING: Snow Dog Days of 2011

In honor of snow and dogs and SNOWDOGS!

I remember reading this book as a kid along with a bunch of others that my mother had kept for years. I wish I could remember all the others-I'll have to ask my mom. I can't recall the story completely, but I remember this exact copy of the book SO WELL that I can SMELL the book in my minds eye!

In case you DON'T have any snow...apparently you can still mobilize with your very own dog carriage.

AND IN CASE YOU REALLY want to get serious about this snow!

Be a handler during personal mushing lessons. Learn how to get started with your own dogs and kennel. Lessons available on how to train your dog and begin to develop your own mushing team. Group lessons are hands on and fully instructed. All equipment is supplied, though students are welcome to use their own.


"Can I use my own dog?".........."Yes!"

 

Arrangements can be made to teach your dog to pull. Keep in mind that patience is the key. Your dog may take more time to catch on for not all dogs are cut out for this type of activity. We can find a dog sport that both you and your dog can enjoy. Of course, seasoned dogs are available whose favorite part of the day is getting to run (mealtime follows closely behind). No matter how your lesson goes we are sure it will be lots of fun! Programs range in price depending on time spent, number of students involved, and the location of the lesson. Please contact us with any questions or requests.

Etsy, really has some great dog related stuff to choose from. I love the DACHSUND decanter...so CUTE! and the doggie bags make me want to make some EMPIRE of the DOG doggie bags for our local places to send food home for the pups!
In the next week, I'll take some photos of the dog related art that I have here. It's a pretty varied collection. I hope you all enjoy these....I had fun searching for them. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
