Ever want your pet to be a famous painting?  I am certain that I, Princess Buttercup, would make a wonderful master piece.  And if I ever have the chance, I know who I will commission my portrait.

Kristen Dougherty takes a photo of your pet and transforms it into a wonderful painting that looks just like your pet.  She post the photo and the painting so you can see just how she is able to capturing your animal.

What I really like about her work is that she is able to capture the eyes with out making it look like a stuffed animal.  She is able to capture the spirit of your best friend.

I am hoping my human is listening (hint hint) I would make a wonderful painting!

Check out her etsy site and stop by her blog to see more of her amazing work.  This would be the perfect gift for the dog (and cat) lover in your life.

The Taffy Box makes wonderful personalized jewelry and dog tags. She made one special just for me.

You can see me along the river in North Carolina sporting my Taffy Box dog tag.

After being taken for a short walk by the sweet little girl next door (the one that drew me a picture), I decided to surf the web looking for fun dog related items. I stumbled across this wonderful work at Pop Dog Press on etsy.
Here you can find breed specific gear with a fun and modern twist.
She also has a wonderful blog, Pop Dog Blog, where you discover more of her artwork, key chains, cards and portraits.
