The dogs on Peticotees dog art t-shirts don’t say a lot, but, just like real dogs they communicate their thoughts perfectly. These beautifully designed organic cotton Ts for men and women incorporate origami, shadow puppets, and emoticons, and celebrate the connections dogs have to each other and us.
Available at Peticotees on etsy.
P.S. Speaking of dogs communicating, a reader sent me this video. I watched it this morning and spit up my coffee laughing. Enjoy.

Artist and mom, Kristin Loffer Theiss brings her modern sensibility and her MFA degree from The School of Visual Arts in NYC to the world of children. The result; her klt:works blog, Etsy shop, and website which feature her works inspired by the unedited creativity children tempered by the eye of an artist trained in form, function, line, texture, and color.
I especially like Kristin's dog plush toys and t-shirts made from silkscreen prints of her free-motion thread drawings. And, of course, her model, muse, and son, Sayer is a doll.
Thanks, Trish Holbrook Meyler for letting me know about klt:works.
P.S. Kristin's blog is really a treasure of visual inspiration for any artist or beauty lover. Highly recommend.
P.P.S. Yes, the plush toys are for kids, but I think they would be fun for dogs too. I know one little dog who would delight in tearing these works of art to shreds.
Years of Bob Barker telling people at the end of "Price is Right" to spay and neuter their dogs didn't work. PETA's campaign featuring Mickey Rourke challenging pet owners to "Have the cajones to fix your dog" isn't working. So leave it to psychotherapist/graphic designer/dog lover Robyn Arouty of Project 71 to spell it out in black and aqua with humor and cool. Great job, Robyn!

P.S. More from Robyn and her crusade to provide comfy dog beds to animal shelters in the next few weeks. Visit her blog for more information on Project 71.
Hang in there readers. I am trying to will dog art into the recession-proof category. Any thoughts?
CafePress has introduced kelly green shirts just in time for St. Patrick's Day. Artist Donna Yuen of Dogs Ink seized the opportunity and made "Irish for a Day" designs for dozens of breeds. Here are a few of my picks based on readers' dogs. Find your breed here.

Day 2 of my Holiday Gift Guide: My picks of the best t-shirts for dog lovers from around the Web.
OK, first I need to start with my Dog Mom T-shirts that continue to be bestsellers. Seen here, the Boxer Mom women’s short sleeved T. I have many breeds and styles including sweatshirts, tank tops, and plus sizes. Email me to add your breed (no charge and no obligation.)
Jack Russell Skeledog T-shirt, cool and creepy, the best of both. From Skeledog’s Etsy Shop. Dachshund, Poodle, German Shepherd, Greyhound, Golden Retriever Skeledogs are also available.
Shar Pei Santa Hat T-shirt from Purely Pups. They have lots of breed. Find yours here.
The estate of Charley Harper, the renowned Minimal Realist animal artist, must have licensed his work to Old Navy. Three of his images, Bird, Dog and Frog, are available on t-shirts for babies and tots. The Dog reminds me of of Dog Art Today reader Jenn Dixon’s English Springer Spaniel named Patrick.
I discovered the Charley Harper T-shirts on Eleanor Grosh’s blog. She, too, is an amazing Minimal Realist artist. Visit her site for more gift ideas.
The I Heart Tripods T-shirt was originally designed to raise money for Lulu’s mom after Lulu lost her leg to cancer and bills piled up to $10,000. Now, having paid her debt, she donates to other Tripod dogs and owners in need. Cool shirt for a good cause available here. Via PupStyle.
Wolf T-shirt from Foe Paws
Boston Terrier puppy dog T-shirt by Fauna. Available at Design Public.
My dog mom t-shirts, sweatshirts, and tank tops continue to be a Mother’s Day top seller, which is good because I didn’t have time to create a new design this year. I’ve been completely buried finishing The Pearls of The Stoneman screenplay I’ve been working on for my friend Ben Glass. I’m happy to report it’s done! Now on to financing…I’ll keep you posted.
Regarding the mom dog t-shirts, if you don’t see your breed (or mixed breed) I will be happy to add it. Please contact me before May 1. Mother’s Day is May 11.
Two weeks ago, when I ran the T-shirt contest in honor of my blog’s one year anniversary, I was pleasantly surprised that someone I didn’t know won, because A.) It’s always nice to get new readers to introduce themselves, and B.) it added to my credibility that the contest wasn’t rigged. But upon exchanging emails with Suzzie (aka Susan), the winner, I realized I did know her, or at least I knew of her by her awesome animal T-shirt website Menagerie Mayhem.
Susan, a zoologist, lives with 5 dogs, 7 parrots, 4 turtles, and fresh and saltwater fish. When not taking care of her menagerie, she creates t-shirts that reflect her passion for animals. I’ve always admired her site for the depth of choices and lovely designs. Above is the T-shirt Susan chose from my website, "The Dog" in yellow, which I am proud to say she is taking with her on vacation to Mexico. And below are some of my favorite dog t-shirts from Menagerie Mayhem. I picked some breeds I’ve never featured here, since Susan isn’t swayed by popularity and designs for them all.
Property of a Boykin Spaniel Ringer T-shirt
Dogue de Bordeaux Women’s T-shirt
Chesapeake Bay Retriever Sweatshirt
Redbone Coonhound Women’s Dark T-shirt
Also, check out Susan’s blog where she writes about caring for all her animals, from rearranging corals in the fish tank to fly ball training her Corgi. Truly amazing!
