Dogs playing poker

If "The Gates" wasn't your kind of art, maybe this might be:



But only if you pony up 590 grand at auctions! Ouch. Why not buy a nice reproduction?

hey this is a great blog i just found through a google search for dog-blogs of all things! it seems that your site is about much more... i have a friend over at http://www.obeythepurebreed.com who paints artwork about dogs, and just started a blog of sorts. Do you have any suggestions about how to find a "community" of other dog-loving-bloggers?
Anway, interesting post about trends in naming. I'll check back in - take care,

Great posts. I've compiled names for dogs in a DB, it's an ongoing project, I'm taking comments and explanations. Any help you can let me have would be great, maybe you know the meaning of some Chinese names?

50 Cent's crib

This New York Times article on 50 Cent's life in the sleepy suburb of Farmington, Conn. , is quite wry - But a cook at China Palace said Mr. Jackson could save 10 percent on any order over $30...

For the party, Mr. Jackson ordered more than $5,000 worth of liquor, including "a lot of Baccardi," according to the owner of a Farmington liquor store who spoke on the condition of anonymity "to protect his privacy." Sipping Bacardi (ooh, caught a Times misspelling) like it's his birthday. How anonymous could a liquor store owner in a suburban town be? It's not like there're hundreds of liquor stores in the town, I'm guessing. I like how they keep referring to him as Mr. Jackson...
