Custom Pet Paintings – Ponies and Dogs Oh My!

You might remember a couple of months ago when I introduced my little Super Hero on the Wall – a commissioned painting of yours truly by Kim at Yellow Brick Home.

Minnow the Painting Pony painting by Kim @ Yellow Brick Home - via Ammo the Dachshund

Well, as it turns out, my Painting Pony pals were a wee bit jealous – so never ones to be left out, mom ordered some custom paintings of them too.

Minnow rocked the blue canvas as he reared high into the air – such a classic Minnow pose.

Blitz and Boomerang, the inseparable brothers (who couldn’t even be separated for the painting), looked extra cute on their lime green canvas. Boomerang even flashed his famous smile.

I don’t know about you, but I think we make one big happy family!

I do have a secret to tell you though…….as much as I love ALL of the paintings…..I do have a favorite……can you guess which one it is? Ammo the Dachshund

 

You can get your own custom pet paintings from Kim @ Yellow Brick Home (make sure you tell her the cutest Super Hero EVER sent you!)


*I was not paid or perk’d to write this post – I’m just super super excited to share the ponies’ paintings!

Friday Fetch: Silly Buddy Bow Ties – NEW Spring Collection

I’m a super duper fan of Silly Buddy (did you know he’s a real dog? Hi Buddy!), in fact all the collars I own have been made by Buddy’s mom. So when I got wind of their new Spring Bow Tie Collection I was so excited to share it with you.

The colors are so bright and fun – perfect for springtime weather! I’ll take one in every color please.

Friday Fetch: Le Custom Pet Sculpture

custom pet sculptureWoo hoo! It’s Holiday Shopping time! I love scouring for those unique gifts this time of year, and you can bet I was super excited when I found Le Animale on Etsy.

Le Animale has the perfect gift this Holiday season for your mom or dad – custom made pet totems. Commission a sculpture to look just like your furry little self so that your mom and dad can always have you with them! But if you want one for Christmas you better hurry, because the deadline for custom orders is November 27th.

I’m thinking my mom would totally love one of these this Christmas, modeled after cute little me of course!

You can fetch your own custom pet totem at Le Animale for $55.

Friday Fetch: Halloween Addition

With about 2 weeks before Halloween there is still plenty of time for you to find that perfect costume! So I decided to create a round-up of some of my favorite costumes available this year!

2011 halloween pet costumes

1. Brasil Soccer Star from D’Pelos Pet Apparel. This one is for my dad, who is a big soccer fan!

2. British Soldier from Wish Pony. Can’t you just picture him riding on his white steed to save the day?

3. The Secretary from Spirit Halloween. You have to admit, you’d get a few laughs with this one!

4. Little Red Riding Hood from Charlie Hearts Disel. Because sometimes minimal works.

5. Banana Split from Old Navy. Honestly, this one just makes me really hungry!

So what are you going to be for Halloween?

 

Creative Paws

Me and mom have been busy updating our online Etsy Shop (which I share with the Painting Ponies), so today I thought I’d share with you some of my new additions to the shop.

white dachshund no. 12

This one is White Dachshund No.12, isn’t he special looking?

yellow dachshund no.2

And this one is Yellow Dachshund No. 2, he’s such a happy little fellow!

Now, although I feel I am the most talented artist in the bunch, my Painting Pony friends (mostly Minnow) have also been busy filling the shop with some of their new creations.

Ok, I admit it, Minnow is pretty talented. But, he has been painting for much longer than I have (since 2007 to be exact).

But we all still know who looks the best in the beret! Eat your heart out girls!

Friday Fetch: Pet Calendars

I’m probably pretty accurate when I say most people (and dogs with a busy schedule like me) check a calendar every day of their lives. How else are you going to remember vet appointments play dates, personal appearances, and trips to the pet store?

Well since your calendar is probably your most looked at item, it only makes sense that it should be full of pet swagger! Even though 2012 isn’t here JUST yet, I’ve gathered up some super cool pet-themed calendars from Paper Source.

You can fetch your own 2012 Calendars here.

P.S. If I can get my act together I’m hoping to have my very own “Ammo the Dachshund” Calendar available this Christmas! I’ll be sure to share more details when it’s ready!
