Seriously considering getting this: a dog bowl tray from A La Mode Dog. It features two seamlessly, built-in dog bowls with removable interior dishes. The bottom of the tray is skid-free and will keep your dog’s bowls in place. It also has an outer lip to catch any spilled water. Boomer is the messiest drinker in the world and also pushes her bowl around while she eats. She and I could definitely benefit from this product. And it looks great too!

My big brother is getting married in March. He and Vanessa are having a sweet, backyard wedding that will feature charming aspects from each of their personalities. They recently took a trip to Tucson, where they both went to college, to have engagement photos taken. The photos are absolutely beautiful, taken by their friend Andrew Westover. My contribution to this event, so far, is their save the dates. They want to keep the vibe fun and simple, and I think everyone will be looking forward to sharing their special day with them.

Several months ago a friend of mine commissioned a painting. He wanted a fun composition that featured his favorite cartoon characters. He came up with the idea of placing them within the famous Dogs Playing Poker. I thought the idea was so fun and the project was a pleasure to complete. It took me a while to get motivated, but I think the final painting turned out great.
