Treats!

Earlier this week, my sweet beagle, Velvet, was not feeling well. My first clue was that she didn't inhale her food at meal time. I took her to the vet and she got a shot and some medicine and is all better now. This little video is not of Velvet, a beagle, or even a dog, but I thought it was cute cause its something Velvet would do. I'm happy to have my little chow hound back to normal :)

P.S. Happy Birthday, Velvet :)

My friend Patty found this picture for Velvet's birthday. I think its just perfect :)

TOP PICKS TUESDAY

I want to thank Shari of PetsJubilee for letting me be a guest blogger. I am really new at this, but hope to get better. Anyway here goes.

I thought I would share with you some of my top picks of the day here on etsy, and these come to you from some of the PetsJubilee team members themselves. And remember, these are my personal picks, and do not represent the picks or the thoughts of PetsJubilee.

I would first like to add just a little about these team members and what they create. They are all such great people, that I have come to know and love. But the art that they create..... well, I call it MAGIC!

In alphabetical order, by name:

1-Alice.......is a wonderful artist who does magic with her felted animal sculptures. Send her your dog's picture and the magic begins. Here is what she did with my two cuties. Check her out at MakingStuffWithLove.etsy.com

2-Annie......creates magic with her sewing machine and the perfect combination of fabrics. She creates wonderful purses, placemats, dog collars and more. She has 2 shops AnnieKClothing.etsy.com and CodysCloset.etsy.com
3-Athena.......works magic on her computer - resulting in the cutest cards, stickers, bookmarks and more. With the addition of one of the cutest models ever, Sasha, her items are sure to please. You can find her at SassySashaDoxie.etsy.com.

4-Kelly......performs her magic on slate. A wonderful artist who paints beautiful images on slate wall hangings. Her shop is filled with amazing items. She'll even customize something just for you. Check her out at angelpupscreations.etsy.com

5- Lori......is an artist with a wonderful sense of humor. She creates great tasting dog treats in the shape of dog doody. Yep, that's right, and my dogs love them. You've got to check her out at DoodyPops.etsy.com

6- Patty's........magic starts at the thrift store, where an item she finds is magically and totally transformed into the cutest stuffed Thrifty Kitty pillows, Bargain Bow Wows and more. She works magic on that sewing machine. She has 2 shops where you will also find wonderfully made clothes with both Kitty and Dog themes - catcalls.etsy.com and dogbarks.etsy.com

7- Shari......creates her magic in the kitchen, with her dog Velvet by her side. She makes some of the greatest, tastiest dog treats. My dogs absolutely love them. Treat your pet by visiting her shop at CiaoHound.etsy.com.

She also heads up the petsjubilee team, where you can sample items from some of these great artists. Check it out at PetsJubilee.etsy.com

8-Solange......creates her magic with her amazing and unique jewelry. A trip to her shop will make you smile. I am wearing a pair of her beautiful star earrings as I type this. Check her out at JewelryBySolange.etsy.com.




She also has a second shop where she sells beads and supplies at BeadieAndThings.etsy.com

Me?..... my dogs are my magic, but they have inspired me to create dog clothes, including sweaters, dresses, costumes, toys and more. Below is a picture of one of my newest customers Roxie, who has allowed me to use her picture. I have 2 shops and you can find me at DianaDesignsNY.etsy.com and StylinDogsBoutique.etsy.com.

I also want to let you know that I have purchased from every one of these shops and am over joyed with every single item.

See you next week. :-)
