Pop Dog Portrait: Luke

2009-10-05T13:16:00.004-04:00

sorry for not posting anything lately. HM has taken a wee break from her dog art to focus on other things. I've been hanging out - running at the dog park and being my normal handsome devil self! BOL!

Anyway - here is a portrait of an Australian Cattle Dog she completed back in August. This piece is 30" x 30" and for sale.

Her Etsy store is still up and running! Great keychains - cards - and silhouette portraits always available!

For Cat Lovers....ALL NEW Cat Keychains!

2009-07-08T10:04:00.003-04:00

I'm not exactly thrilled with HM right now..she's decided to expand Pop Dog Press's keychain and portrait line to include CATS!!! Grrrrrrr.....

BUT I do understand she grew up with cats and has many friends that somehow prefer them to dogs! So....here are some new keychains that are available in her Etsy shop.

Hey pups!

Check it out - HM has created some fantastic new portraits - all hand-cut silhouettes! She uses fun, bright, funky paper too - not just your boring black like most silhouette portraits. She uses either hand silk screened Chiyogami paper or brightly coloured Murano textured paper.

Full body - or just your pet's bust - these look great framed and make pawesome gifts!!! She can make portraits for any kind of pet too: dogs, cats, horses, birds, etc.

Visit her ETSY shop for more!!

Hey pups - sorry for the lack of blogging...it's been pretty busy around here - and we're not going to be doing as many posts as before. I'll be sure to give you updates of what I'm doing - and anything to do with HM's Pop Dog Press business.

This past weekend the Fast n' Furry team was at an open house for K-9 Country Inn doing some dog sport demos and some agility racing! We had a blast!! Enjoy the photos!

Here I am doing a novice Rally-O course

Getting ready for my race! We were timed on the course - jumps and tunnels only

2009-03-18T11:00:00.004-04:00

Hey pups! Guess who's back? ME! HM has unfortunately been sick since she got back from vacation - so I've been taking care of her and making sure she gets lots of snuggles from me!

I had a pawesome week of spoiling while she was away - but was very happy to see her and get back to my dog friends at the park! So HM - as sick as she feels has been taking me to the park every day to get some running in! Yay!

Me and Dude - playing tug!

Dude and Abby - duking it out!

Just wanted to let you all know - I'm still here - just taking a bit of a blogging break. No news is good news. HM is super busy at work - we're back training with agility and she's taking vacation in early March too! So, I'll be at HG's (Human Gramma) that week for some super spoiling! Arooooo!

I'm doing a demo this Saturday with my Fast n' Furry dog sport demo team - so hopefully we'll get some photos or video to post at the end of the weekend!

SPRING IS COMING!! So get outside and enjoys yourselves!!! Here's a pic from last year - how happy was I???!!!

Manchester Terrier vs. Vizsla

2009-02-21T17:25:00.003-05:00

Meet Oliver. He's a Vizsla. We used to play almost every night at the local dog park until he and his human dad moved out of the neighbourhood.

But they still visit from time to time..and today we ran into them at the park!! Here's some video from our cooooold afternoon at the park.

R.I.P. Spencer

2009-02-19T14:48:00.003-05:00

Please take a moment to visit Spencer's blog and leave a comment for his humans. He left us on February 17, and leaves behind two human pawrents and countless friends (both human and dog) who loved him dearly.

Spencer was one of the first blogs I discovered when I started blogging and always enjoyed his California adventures.

We will miss you dearly.

2009-02-14T11:59:00.001-05:00

Do you like going for car rides? I do! Mostly because I know it usually leads to either a dog park or agility class!
