Santa Dog Naps at Small Stump

I recently discovered Small Stump + Studio Choo, a floral shop and online art store based in Pacifica, California run by Alethea Harampolis and Jill Pilotte. Their wild take on handmade floral arrangements are exquisite, and I have bookmarked their primer on forcing Narcissus bulbs and building a succulent wreath (as seen on Design*Sponge), projects I can’t wait to try. They also have a blog category devoted to their dogs called “Dog Party” where I found this sweet photo.

I highly recommend stopping by their blog for some bouquet eye candy that will make your winter-y day bright. And remember, the days are getting longer. Spring is right around the corner.

Jesse Freidin, Pancake, and Booker Buy a Tree

{This week, I will be featuring images of dogs in the Christmas spirit. Guest blogger and photographer Jesse Freidin kicks off the series with his trip to the Christmas tree lot with his girlfriend’s dog, Booker, then tree trimming with the help of his dog, Pancake. These shots really get me in the Holiday mood. Thanks, Jesse!}

Booker, a Pit Bull-Reindeer mix

Today I went to the Christmas tree lot with my good friend Booker to pick out my very first Christmas Tree. Well, let’s just call it a Holiday Bush.

Booker volunteered to find me the perfect shrubbery — he’s a real thoughtful guy. After licking and sniffing every pine and fir in sight, he reminded me that I might also need a beautiful handmade wreath for my front door. Always thinking ahead, that Booker!

We shoved my new perfect tree in the car and zipped back to my house where Pancake was waiting to help decorate. Pancake and Booker were very thoughtful at first, but they got pretty tired after all that ornament hanging, rolling around in their new holiday sweaters, and drinking out of the tree basin.

In the end, the tree was a complete success. I stepped back and took a look at our hard work…

Brilliant! — Jesse Freidin.

P.S. Commission a pet portrait session with me for the dog lover in your life. Visit my website for more information.

Dog Art Today’s 12 Days of Christmas, Hanukkah, Yule or Kwanzaa Gift Ideas

For the next 12 days I will be featuring creative, crafty, pragmatic or luxurious gifts for the dog lover in your life. I know there is a massive credit crunch squeezing the global economy. But, thoughtful, original gifts don’t need to be expensive. Finding them just takes a little time. Hopefully, that’s where I can help this season. I have been scouting interesting finds this whole year to share with you to make your shopping, shipping and enjoyment of the holidays a little easier.

Feel free to email me and let me know what you are looking for or what you would like to see more of.

BTW, did you know the Twelve Days of Christmas might not just be a rousing Christmas carol but rather, “a song of Christian instruction dating to the 16th
century religious wars in England, with hidden references to the basic
teachings of the Faith…a mnemonic device
to teach the catechism to youngsters.” For example, “Two turtle doves” represents the Old and New Testament. ( Read more here.)
