We all have calendars on our computers and smart phones these days, but it's often easier (and always cuter) to glance over at the wall or our desk for the date (or day in our case).
If you are looking for an easy and affordable present for a pet lover or yourself, 2011 Dog Calendars
and Cat Calendars
are always well-received gifts.

Calendars make cheerful wall decorations. We have a daily desktop dog breed calendar we open every morning over coffee, prior to reading the news on our laptops.

Our pets are with us a short time. Decorate your tree year after year with a special keepsake Paw Print Ornament

also has everything you need to capture those cute little paw impressions. The kit includes an 11-by-14 inch wood wall frame to display the impression alongside a 4-by-6 inch photo. The look is classic, with a modern appeal as well.

Visit Draw the Dog to see more dog cartoons like this! We love this site, and we know it will make you happy too. It's drawn by Jim George:
one of your typical ex-Disney animators who lives near the beach in Venice and once spent years animating in a cabin in the woods and who has been creating characters for film and TV and who has been a director and book author and who also has a counseling practice and who really likes animals and people, too.
....Jim draws the cartoons; Bruce Kasanoff does everything else. This is because Bruce can't draw and Jim doesn't want to do anything else.

You can order prints of the cartoons and a personalized sketch of your dog. And, perfect timing, you can even order Christmas Cards:
