    I'm allergic to standing in line, so I decided to take my better half (Pancake the Dog) with me as I browsed a few of my favorite local shops for Thanksgiving items. Pancake served as Quality Control when we got back to the studio, and says everything smells delicious. Guess we're ready to cook! — Jesse Freidin.

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

    Ripley_christmas_dog

    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.)

So, I’m kicking off the gift-giving season today in order for you to shop early and online and solemnly swear to avoid stress this year. I know you can do it!
