I came across these fun wire animal sculptures on Etsy made by Wire Art Ink. These nifty sculptures feature original handmade wire art that focuses on personalized pet portraits, whimsical wire animal art, and custom mixed media sculpture. How fun!

As you know, I have a whole slew of talents – many of which I document on this blog and one of which is PAINTING! I like to think of myself as a mini Picasso, and while I don’t technically wield a paintbrush – my paws are just oozing with talent! Just check out this video of me painting at the Spring Doxie Fest this year:
Now I know what you might be thinking, “but where can I buy these fabulous paintings that you made” – have no fear, I’ve recently added several of my creations to the Painting Pony Etsy Shop!
So if you’re looking for something spiffy and colorful to spruce up your walls this Spring then head on over to the Painting Pony Etsy Shop and check out some of my latest work!
And don’t forget, I donate a portion of my proceeds to my favorite animal rescues – so by purchasing a painting you get to help some animals in need! Double win!
Who doesn’t love a good dog toy? And when they make you giggle – it makes it that much better! Check out these silly pet toys from Crumbs Outfitters. Each toy is handmade with 100% all natural boiled New Zealand wool by Nepal Artisans.
You can fetch these adorably cute Boiled Wool Dog Toys at Crumbs Outfitters for about $12.
When I spotted this Chalkboard Dog Bowl over on Waggo I just knew I had to have it! Only when I asked mom if I could purchase it, she suggested why not DIY it? Oh but of course!
DIY CHALKBOARD DOG BOWL
Materials:
Step 1: Using the frog tape, tape off the portion of your bowl that you do not want to have chalkboard paint on it. You may need some help from someone who doesn’t have paws!
Step 2: Using even coats, spray your bowl with chalkboard paint. You may also need some help to get the cap off your spray paint.
Once your bowl is completely dry it will be ready to write on with chalk! You may want to prep the surface first by applying a coat of chalk evenly across the entire bowl and erasing it before writing on it.
Of course any dog bowl is much much better with food in it!
Yum! Everything tastes better in my trendy Chalkboard Food Bowl!
During one of my recent internet browsing excursions I happened upon the Free People Pet Project. A collection of stylish pet items and accessories from Free People, these items are simply to die for! I’m particularly in love with their poncho’s and tipis!
Does this not look just like my best friend Trooper!?
You can fetch these fine items and more from the Free People Pet Project Collection HERE.
You might remember a few weeks ago when the fine folks over at CafePress offered up a giveaway to one of my lucky readers. Well they also offered me a chance to take some of their custom products for a spin too – so I’m back to share with you just what I ordered.
So I browsed through their custom items and decided to try out their small round pet id tag and some 2.25″ buttons.
With the help of my personal designers (mom and dad) I used the Cafepress design tool and uploaded my logo for the pet tag and buttons. You can opt to upload an image or enter you own text and shapes with their design tools. I decided not to make my tag an “identification tag”, but instead just a little something something to add bling to my super hero outfit when I perform.
After uploading my designs for each item I checked them to make sure they would look right and not be cut off at all on the products.
Then a few short days later my custom items arrived in the mail! Yippee!
The pet tag came with a tiny clasp on it, but my hefty collar from Mattie & Margot was a bit too large for it to fit on. This was easily remedied with a Rubit clip (which I use on all my id tags anyway) that I had laying around the house.
So I pinned on my new button (which probably mom and dad will end up wearing most of the time – but I wanted to be the first to try it)….
….and snapped on my new tag to add that special bling bling to my Super Hero outfit.
You also may notice that I am wearing my gold letter A, which was the clear winner when I asked all of you which embroidered patch I should add to my costume! I agree, the gold is just the right color – thanks to everyone who weighed in with their vote.
I’m now ready for my big performance this month at the Spring Doxie Fest! I hope you’ll come meet me and see how stellar I look with all my new custom designed CafePress items!
You can get your own customized products at Cafepress, and you’ll find millions of one-of-a-kind designs on every topic you can imagine like dachshund jewelry, pet bowls, and gifts for dog lovers.
I received some cafepress products to review on my blog, but all opinions are entirely my own.
I don’t know about you, but personally I love a good squeak toy. Something about that ear piercing sound just gets my tail wagging. Now Mom and Dad, they sort of have a love/hate relationship with my squeaky toys. They love that they make me happy but sometimes wish I wouldn’t do all that squeaking, especially when an episode of the Big Bang Theory is on.
So when I stumbled upon these fun toys from Kong that feature an on/off button for the squeaker I knew that they were a perfect compromise.
You can fetch your own Kong on/off Squeaker Dog Toy from Petsmart for around $10.
With Easter just around the corner it has me dreaming about what delectable treats Mr. Bunny will be leaving in my Easter basket this year.
So when I stumbled across the Paw Street Barkery and all their organic dog treats I just knew I would be secretly hoping some of them end up in my Easter Basket this year.
Drooling yet? You can fetch these drool-worthy treats from the Paw Street Barkery HERE.
Mom had a Birthday last week, and like any spoiled well loved pooch, I got presents too!
