  • Golden Retriever Gifts

    The 4th most popular breed in the U.S. is the Golden Retriever. A sweet one named Hazel lives next door to me. This Goldie gift post is dedicated to her.

  • Boxer Gifts

    Boxers rank number 7 as the most popular dog breed in the U.S. My mother grew up with a Boxer named Lance. Legend has it that Lance bonded immediately with my father when he came calling and helped pave the way for their courtship. I have always had a fondness for Boxers. Since, in a way, Lance paved the way for me (and my sisters) too.

    Boxers_la

    Brother and sister Boxers, Hansel and Gretel, by L.A. photographer Sabrina Helas. I am a huge fan of her sun-drenched style. Give the gift of a session with her, and turn a pet into a work of 21st century art.

  • Chihuahua Gifts

    Chihuahuas are the 11th most populare dog breed in the U.S. I’m including them on my list because last year they were number 10 so they get an honorable mention. Enjoy!

    Chihuahua_ornament
    Teacup Chihuahua porcelain Christmas ornament from Studio Gumbo. It comes with a silky red string. Artwork by Rebecca Stringer Korpita. I love the colors and the dog’s cheeky expression!

    Carryons

    In my opinion, Carry-Ons: Traveling Chihuahuas by Sharon Montrose is one of the best dog books I’ve ever seen. I just love the design, the fonts, the layout, the photos…well, you get the idea. Any Chihuahua owner would be thrilled to recieve this gem of a book for the holidays.

    Chihuahua_mom
    My Chihuahua Mom T-shirts come in several colors and lots of styles and sizes, now including plus sizes. (These shirts have been a big hit. If you’d like one in your breed email me.)

    Chihuahua_tiki
    I’ve been a big fan of Kelly Pound’s work since my blog was new. She has dozens of fun dog breed art works at her Pound Design Store including this groovy Chihuahua Tiki Bar poster.

    She also has lots of fun sock monkey stuff for your post-modern brother who’s inpossible to shop for.

  • Schulz and Peanuts A Biography by David Michaelis

    Charles_schulz_biography

    David Michaelis’s 655-page, seven-years-in-
    the-making biography of Peanuts creator Charles Schulz will be released next Tuesday.  Sharon Begley of Newsweek warns readers that, "anyone expecting a Schulz in ‘happiness is a warm puppy’ mode will likely be disappointed."  It seems that although Schulz reached the pinnacle of success, he saw himself as a bullied, ordinary, unhappy boy until the end.

    He also never hugged his five children, didn’t kiss his wife hello, and asked his second wife to marry him while still married to his first.  Good grief!

  • Miss Teen South Carolina, I’m a U.S. American With A Map…

    …and my dog is too.

    Mapdog

    My sister Sheila Cameron designed these T-shirts. She is the only person I know who actually witnessed Lauren Caitlin Upton’s response live on the Miss Teen USA Pageant. She laughed so hard she nearly went into early labor (she’s due in October.) In case you missed it, click here to see the helpful subtitled version on YouTube.

    Maptshirt

    In Lauren’s defense, I think we’ve all been there, just not on national TV. I can recall a espcially brutal charades game where I drew a complete blank and just stood there for a very long minute. (Clue was Daniel Deronda, title character in George Eliot novel.)

  • Anti-Michael Vick T-shirts

    Sackvick

    I’ve avoided posting about the indictment of Michael Vick for operating a gruesome dog-fighting ring. I’m sickened by the story, and what image would I possibly include? Then, I remembered the creative t-shirt designers at CafePress. They have more than a few choice words and images (i.e. lots of T-shirts) to share with this barbaric thug who had the nerve to invoke his poor mother at his hearing today where he pled not guilty. Obscene.

    The Anti-Michael Vick No. 7 T-shirt (above) and the Sack Vick one (below) are two of tamest of the the bunch.

    Sackvick2

    My cousin, Ellen Clair “Answer Girl” Lamb, has some choice words to say about Vick at her blog too.

    7.27.07 Update: Reebok drops Michael Vick jerseys. Stating, “While we respect the legal process we find the allegations against Mr. Vick
    too disturbing to ignore.”

    7.27.07 Update: The NFLShop.com has pulled all Michael Vick apparel and merchandise from its stores and website. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy explained, “We have suspended sales of Vick-related merchandise on our official league e-commerce site, NFLShop.com. This includes Vick jerseys and collectible items such as autographed balls and other memorabilia.” McCarthy said the decision was made because it was “not appropriate under the circumstances.” The suspension will take place for the immediate future.

    8.14.2009 Update: More anti-Michael Vick T-shirts since the news of the Eagles signing him…
