The past month…

I apologize that I haven’t posted anything new in ages. Life has been very busy and challenging…
I started muzzle training with Boogie over a month ago. We were doing a few short sessions each day and things were going really well (we got up to the spray cheese part) when…
And the drama that ensued on the internet and all the stuff I had to do to legally protect and educate myself just sucked up all my time and energy and money. It has been exhausting and it’s not all over yet. The silver lining: I learned that I have a very large group of supporters whom I am very grateful to; I learned that I need to be much more proactive about getting my artwork out there in the physical world, beyond just posting stuff up on the internet… I need to market myself a lot better. Deep breath.
So let me present some stuff that you may want to buy for the holidays (HINT HINT)
1. My new series of Dog Breed magnets and buttons! There are 24 dog breeds in this series and I am selling a few of these in my etsy store. If you are interested in wholesale orders, or know anyone who might be interested in wholesale orders, please click here for the pricing and ordering information.
2. These dog breed designs as well as new Boogie/boston terrier drawings are also printed on totes, t-shirts, cushions etc. at www.society6.com/lilichin
I want these on pyjamas!!!
3. The World’s Most Dangerous Foods for Dogs – this is now available as a 4″ x 6″ fridge magnet, and I will have more available soon also at my etsy store. (including a version with blank spaces to write your own emergency/vet phone numbers) The Design Lab Creative Studio webstore is also selling these.
4. Dog Decoder is a new iphone app that I did the illustrations for. This is a really cool and slick app on dog body language which includes a quiz to test your dog-reading skills. There is more information and screenshots HERE, and you can purchase the app at the itunes App Store for $3.99. (Every download helps the artist too, thank you :)) Unfortunately I don’t have an iPhone so I am eagerly awaiting the android version which is in the works.
5. Then there are my Zazzle stores for dog training-related posters/flyers , and Boogie art. Example:
Socializing Your Dog – Written by Sara Reusche
Next weekend I am going to my first ever Dog Obedience and Rally event as an observer… This will be a totally new experience and I am kinda excited and also nervous (will the majority of dogs be happy or under pressure?) I will take photos if this is permitted.
December 11th is Boogie’s ‘birthday’/adopt-a-versary and it is coming soon! This year I will actually be in town to celebrate with him. I haven’t decided yet what to get Boogie for this special day. Which toys? Which treats? I am open to suggestions! 🙂

How horrible!!! The folks who used your art SURELY know better. Shame on them. I’m so glad you found out about it. And as for the woman selling your work that she has altered, well, I hope she gets a tenacious rash that won’t clear up.

I forgot to add our favorite toy, which is the Planet Dog Mazee. It holds treats and had a SOFT rubbery outer ball, so it is quiet as it rolls around on the floor (ahhhh!). It holds popcorn perfectly, for dogs who can have a bit of corn. Otherwise, it will hold any small, dry treats. The softer exterior material means that a voracious chewer could chew through this toy pretty quickly, but if they’re just rolling it around to get the treats to fall out, it will last a long time. And you can put it on the top rack in the dishwasher. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007R3R52E/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1QALAJ1B525VK&coliid=I2T2ML4RHIEL06
