You may know by now that I’m a little bit dog crazy. Ok, a whole lotta dog crazy. So, I think that the notecards of the sweet pooches by Sibling Rivalrie are super adorable! And, I’m really really wishing I lived closer to Brooklyn so I could have my babies {ahem…dogs} photographed by the talented Winnie…she’s one of a 3-sister collaboration that make up Sibling Rivalrie. That, and I kinda want that couch on the top right picture!

If you have a rescued or adopted dog, you can submit his or her photo to Noisy Dog Studio’s 2009 Faces of Love project. 10% of the purchases will go to A Place to Bark Animal Rescue in Tennessee {you are not obligated to purchase the portrait}. It’s a win win! If I could only get my daschund, Weenie, to sit still for a minute, I’d send in his picture.

Here are the photos Leigh used for inspiration:

My pups are FAR from sophisticated…one daschund with an overbite, and one jack russell terrier with an unhealthy ball obsession. I do have a weakness for sweet dog attire…as a former big dog owner, it has taken me a while to get to this point! But now that I’m living in the icy tundra, my poor pups get so cold in the snow. I’ve had to rescue Weenie a couple of times outside with his teeny legs frozen! Anyhow, I bought the adorable “paddington” coat {above, the brown one) from the Sophisticated Pup at Jingle Mingle Shop in December. It’s adorable, well made, really warm and reversible. The Sophisticated Pup also offers extraordinary handcrafted doggie beds and collars & leads. Great pet goods!

The weenie jokes fly around our house ever since we adopted our sweet little doxie boy with a wicked overbite {named Weenie, in the oval above}. Our 14 year old son is the main reason for the incessant “my weenie does tricks” etc. comments.

While shopping Etsy recently, I found Annie’s Sweatshop, and her sweet sweet little sweaters and things for dogs {and not just weenie dogs}. The fabrics are made of recycled soda bottles…so you’ll be green while keeping your pup warm. She accepts custom orders too, so you’ll get just the right fit for your dog.
