Little Kids, Big City
The line my daughter remembered this morning, from last night? "You have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the White House."

Is it just me, or does is it feel like this election has dragged on forever? Well, it's almost over and to throw a little fun into the mix, High Maintenance Bitch (HMB) is hosting a Red, White & Boo party at its pet boutique in Wallingford tomorrow.

I'm a big fan of the show LA Ink and now your dog can show off its own ink by Los Angeles based artist Anna Graham. Inspired by her Boston terrier Jim, Anna creates custom collars, leads and bowls for your four- legged friend, featuring her tattoo-inspired designs. Each is hand painted and can be personalized with your pooch's name. Choose from a variety of classic designs including Asian koi fish, a pin up girl, Day of the Dead, and more. For more information, go to tattooedpooch.com.

About a week ago, a package arrived at the CityDog Magazine office and lo' and behold, it contained an "Obama for President" dog collar. I dug around to see if there was also a "McCain for President" collar inside, but to no avail. Guess that makes me part of the "liberal media."

Scientist-turned-software-project-manager-turned-artist Anandi Raman Creath calls herself a geek at heart -- but we think these not-so-geeky custom dog tags are pretty cool. And, they're made right here in the Northwest (Redmond, to be exact).

I'm not a baker myself -- in fact, I rarely even cook. But still, there's something about creating something from scratch that feels homey, especially during the holidays. That's why, in its upcoming holiday issue, CityDog Magazine (for which I am also the editor) will feature recipes from Seattle-area dog lovers.

Soon, Seattle will be crawling with little monsters dressed in ghoulish garb as ghosts, goblins, witches and warlocks hit the streets for tricks and treats. And, Halloween isn't reserved just for humans anymore -- with costumes galore for canines, our furry, four-legged friends can now join in on the fun.

I love custom, wearable art -- especially when it's custom, wearable dog art. Whether it's handmade clothing or jewelry, each piece is individually designed and created as expressive art and what could be more expressive than a dog's face, right?

I'm a big fan of the site Etsy.com and if you haven't been there, I encourage you to check it out. It's a shopping site featuring independent artists selling handmade wares from jewelry and clothing to original, custom artwork. Buyer, beware though - there are so many fun, funky, unique items at Etsy, you might become addicted.

Love politics? Love dogs? With the race for the White House in full gear, express your love for both by sporting a Dogs for Democracy button on your campaign tee.
