Australian Cattle Dog Day
I must be feeling nostalgic for the beloved Cattle Dogs I have shared my life with. They were such wonderful dogs, though challenging if you don’t understand them.
We have a Beauceron puppy now, and his intelligence and drive reminds me so much or those Queensland Heelers from years gone by that it takes me aback.
We lost our 11 year old lab last June, and though he too was a heart dog, he was just so very, very different than stock dogs. He told jokes (no kidding! he really told jokes!), and he was happy to hang with you and just chill. I miss him every day, but I digress…
I came across this today, and I will I knew the origin, for I would credit the author. This is truth:

Samoyed Dog Mom
I am sharing a brand new Zazzle collection today, inspired by some of the nicest people I have met while vending our metal art at dog shows.
I have recently added a few Samoyed designs to our other company, Vulcanix Art, and thought they would transfer well to the fun Zazzle products in my Novelteeart Zazzle marketplace.
This one is specific to Dog Mom’s, and more specifically, to Samoyed Dog Mom’s. Since Mother’s day is right around the corner, the timing is fortuitous. Though you can’t see it in the images below, if you click on the pieces in the collection that are two-sided, there is a really cool watercolor pawprint heart on the reverse of certain designs.
Fairy Dogmother
Since I am owned by one of the most beautiful dogs in the world, I can’t help but photograph here, when she deigns to allow it. Really though, she loves to model, and if I pull the background and lights out, there she is, posing like a supermodel.
Anyway, I decided to use her as the star on one of my funny and irreverent Zazzle greeting cards. The funny ones seem to be much more popular than the sweet sentiments, which I don’t mind, because I think you need to have a sharp sense of humor to navigate the choppy waters of this world nowadays.
Here is the image, and below, I will post the greeting card. Take a look and let me know what you think?
Hoppy Easter from Somebunny that loves you
Here is a brand new, hot off the presses design for my Zazzle store, just in time for Easter. I love Springtime and I can’t wait for my tulips to bloom!
Zazzle Collections
I have started some Collections on Zazzle. Because I had been away from this marketplace for so long, I knew nothing about them. It is kind of a neat way to showcase many different products that share a theme in common.
I am kind of in love with the Dressage Horse them at the moment. I will probably add more products, but this is what I have so far…
I think probably my favorite piece in the collection right now is the kitchen towel. It expresses my true sentiments. I may just have to get a few for myself.
Best Buckin’ Dad… Ever
June brings with it warm weather as the first blush of summer warms the earth. School lets out and if you are young, the carefree days between last year’s lessons and your growth and advancement to what next school year brings.
With it come BBQ cookouts and road trips on special holidays where you make memories with your family, (as you put up with them, waiting to get back home to your friends). And time to spend with your dad.
And in June, we get to celebrate that time, recognizing our special fathers on Father’s Day.
And so, my June Zazzle tribute to fathers. I am not quick enough to make special recognition for all kinds of fathers, though each and every one deserves it. I do have a couple of specialized designs, that you won’t find anywhere else. I hope you do enjoy them.
In the same spirit…
And maybe your dad is the Christian Cowboy type…
Or for a Cattle Dog Dad…
I could go on and on, but you probably get the point. Thanks for looking!
