    DAT Euro-style Bumper Sticker for $7

    Three times a year our local radio station does a membership drive, and I always say to myself, "I should do that for Dog Art Today."  Then I don't.   Because:

    – Fundraising makes me uncomfortable.
    – It always seems like a bad time; graduation, Father's Day, etc.

    I finally decided if it's ok for KVMR, PBS, NPR, it's ok for DAT.   

    And I made these bumper stickers.  To me they are a big deal, because growing up my parents were so repulsed by bumper stickers, the thought of putting one on your car would be like tattooing your face.

    Just read a fascinating article at The Atlantic by Megan Garber about a new theory by anthropologist Pat Shipman that 35,000 years ago dogs helped humans flourish as Neanderthals died out.  Shipman argues that man and dog created a "virtuous circle of cooperation — one in which humans and their canine friends got stronger, together, over time."

    Highly recommend full article.
