Meet Buddy, a beagle mix from Tulsa Oklahoma.

Ever seen a grin like that before?

Buddy is one hot dog, so this chili dog collar is perfect for him. Doesn’t he look so proud of himself? He ought to be! He is one smart dog!

This collar was originally for his sister, Jewel. Evidently, Buddy thought it was more his style.

Thanks to Shirley for sharing this pic of Buddy wearing his sisters collar

Cynthia over at Tip Tail has been going on about BlogDesk. So this is my first attempt!

I blog at Fuzzy Logic and The Paranormal Blog so I thought it might be better if I could use a client like this to just blog on my desktop and upload…

How awesome is this?

Seems like it works with Wordpress 2.5 so far.. well, I’ve not posted to the Paranormal blog yet with it but I can connect. Luna already upgraded.. I’m a bit more lazy about it.

I love this collar! Look at how it just pops next to her beautiful blond fur. Charlotte belongs to a friend of mine in Indiana. She’s a stunningly cute yellow lab who started out as a rescue foster. Well, of course, Jodi fell in love with her. Wouldn’t you?

She is a wonderful companion to Rudy, her other yellow lab. Together, they are the LabraDorks!

A week or so ago I got an email from The Crazy Dog Lady. So cool! Nice to see a kindred soul.

Her sewing skills are much better than mine.. I sew straight lines.. she creates pet portraits by quilting! This has got to be the most amazing thing I’ve seen.

At first I thought, well, she must be using a photo imaging software (I’m such a geek) to scan pictures and put them on fabric but NO!

She is actually piecing different color and patterned fabrics to create the portrait. Her name is Jan and she does a lot of work for rescue organizations as well. Check out this work!

You must go check out her work.. it’s really awesome.

This took me hours to figure out how to get the light levels right.

Thanks to Onama I have a nifty new layout!

She did this awesome header and background gif to get me started and I finished it off by tweaking the colors … I’m sure there are a few hiding in here though that need to be fixed.. hmmmm.. I shall have to investigate!

I’m really not into the colors I’ve picked here.. I really need some help with scheming this site…

I think I’m going to go play with the color schemer online and see if I can come up with something fun…

or maybe I’ll just bite the bullet and buy a logo… and base it off of that…

hrmmm…

I made a few collars for a co-worker… The size I made for her is just a little too small.. so I have to go up a size.. but I don’t want them to be huge on him either…

What kind of dog do you have and what size is his or her collar?
