Mother is shopping for me again because she wants to get something for my first birthday and she found some doggy stuff and showed them to me for my opinion:

SNIF Tag

What the? This thing monitors your heart rate and can tell your mum if you’re sleeping, running, walking, etc in real time! Can you say “Big Brother”?? I’m not sure why Mother would want this when she’s got that webcam of hers to spy on me and make sure I do my homework anyway.

I’ll pass!

My portrait

Ok, THIS I don’t mind! I’d love to have my handsome self immortalized on canvas! There are some great painty artists and digital artists out there! I’m sure Mother won’t mind doing one of me for each of my birthday then hang them all over the house! Afterall, I’m so gosh darn goodlooking and she loves looking at me! She always makes me Watch her anyway. It’s about time we switched places!

Here are some great places to do doggy portraits!

1. Decopaw - Digital art; kinda funky, clean designs
2. Rainbow Dog – Hand painted; abit Andy Warhol-ish, looks good for short haired dogs, but not sure if it will capture my amazing coat
3. Pop Dog Press - Digital art; more Andy Warhol-ish than the one above, very pop art-ish. Mother likes but says she could probably do the pic herself and get it printed on canvas here. Ignore Mother. She has all these big crazy dreams.
4. Painted Pet Menegerie – Hand painted; pretty with attention to detail, so my fur will surely be captured at its best!
5. Kayann Works – Hand painted; cartoony and whimsical!
6. Painty Pets - Hand painted; cute paintings, but how good the painting turns out seems to depend alot on the picture it’s based on
7. Michi Design - Hand painted; one of Mother’s favourites! Realistic and captures the dog’s expressions
8. Kathy Weller – Hand painted; so cute and adorable! Just like the watercolour pictures you’d find in children’s books. Mother loves this one too

Dog Camera

I told Mother that I want this! It’s so cool! At least now I can take pictures of her instead of her always taking pictures of me! I know I know, I love having my picture taken, but c’mon, 492 pictures on average a day??
