The prints arrived yesterday, and I picked up frames at Michael's. When i got to the register, I thought they had made an error. Two 16x20 frames, with glass, were $31.99 total. Crazy.
Bad pic because of the sunlight but I'm very happy with them.

How do you clean Dog Nose Prints
Comments (42)Thank you so much! This seems to have worked beautifully, and was quite easy to do. I've been using Old English, which really did nothing, but it looked OK for a while. I never really noticed how soon I checked it again, but suspect it wouldn't have passed within hours. I did my large TV cabinet a few hours ago, and just did the rest of the tables in the living room. I'll make a point of examining them in the morning, but I'm confident they'll be fine. My dog goes to a veterinary opthalmologist, and in desperation, I even asked her for help. She had no idea what to do, but assuming this has truly worked, I'll let her know, and hopefully spread the work. There must be a lot of blind dogs running into things all the time! Again, thank you!...See MoreDecorating With Dog Prints
Comments (14)@musicteacher, LOL! I once had cats, so I hear you about the shedding! You can completely change the look of your furniture and even your floors (especially if they are carpeted or you have area rugs) by just never, ever vacuuming it up. Voila - new "upholstery" without the expense! LOL! (Just kidding, of course.) On the wild off chance that you might actually want to try something creative with it (or someone else reading this thread might), maybe you could find a way to make art with it! Glue it onto something, felt it; I have no idea what might work, if anything. A lot depends on what breed(s) you have and thus the length, texture, and other characteristics of the fur. Or, heck, just never vacuum it up from anywhere. You'll have completely "new" upholstery and rugs in no time at all! I have poodles, in no small part so I don't have to deal with shedding. Although I've never tried it myself, I've known other poodle people who have saved their dogs' hair when they were groomed until they had enough to spin it into yarn, and then knitted or crocheted things with it. Poodles have actual hair like we do, though, not fur like most other breeds. That means it will grow a lot longer, so it is easier to manipulate to fabricate something out of it; and it will never be greasy or stink like dog....See MoreConcrete back porch + dog paw prints = Not happy
Comments (14)Dogprints outside are the decoration of a happy home. I can understand not wanting clay tracking inside though, maybe a big mat in front of the door. Most of my back yard is either garden or deck, and the part that the dogs romp on is covered with wood chips, so they don't get sand/dirt on their feet unless they dig in the one area they are allowed to dig. Can you either grow grass or cover the ground with wood chips so his paws stay cleaner? He is a cute dog, a poodle?...See MoreChinthe sculptures (foo dog) from Burma - Anyone know about these?
Comments (4)They are Burmese Chinthes not dogs. "Foo Dog" is a colloquialism and misnomer, but most westerners recognize the term. I was speaking with an auction house rep and said Burmese Chinthe and I got a "huh?" When I said "Foo Dog," instant recognition so this permeates the vernacular even among pros. I believe that an older Chinese word for lion led to the "Foo" part. The Chinese guardian lion humanized facial characteristics are easily mistaken for those of a dog, rather than a lion. Chinese guardian lions are traditionally represented in a pair where the male has his paw on a ball of string and the female has her paw on a kitten. This mythology evolved differently in S.E. Asia, specifically Burma, Laos and Cambodia where the lions took on a half dragon look. You can also find Chinthe images with human heads, so the humanization is a common thread. P.S. If you look at the Japanese versions (komainu or shisa) you will see the origins of Japanese animation design sensibilities. To me, they are the most whimsical....See Moremtnrdredux_gw
