The Chinese Year of the Dog

Since February 16 was Chinese New Years and 2018 is the year of the dog, I thought I’d reprise an earlier post on this beloved canine. Especially since I was born in the year of the dog!

And just so you know, according to Chinese astrologists, those born in the year of the dog are loyal and honest, amiable and kind, cautious and prudent, always willing to help others, and were born with a good nature.

(I wonder if they also like treats and like to be petted.)

The LA Times Celebrates Doggy Decoration

I want to celebrate our love of animals and dogs with doggy decorations and dog jewelry for us. So dive in with me.

Recently, I came across a great article from the Los Angeles Times, “Celebrate your furry friends with animal-inspired fashion and jewelry,”  that showcases many fun ways to showcase your pet-loving personality.

The deliciously long article spotlights designers and brands that offer a variety of clever and creative ways to incorporate your pet-loving penchant into every part of your life, and features animal-tastic items designers I love like Bibi Van der Velden .

Maybe he barks more ferociously when in this armored outfit.

Who Could Resist an Armored Basset Hound?

Picture the wind machine blowing.

Then the loud rock music, something like, “We Are the Champions.”
