Did you know that my dogs are artists? Can't you tell? Maybe I'm a little biased since they are my kids.
In the ugly bench post there was a picture of my girls' artwork. Yes, artwork made by my dogs. Why artwork made by the dogs....because it is almost free! I love free! |

I got the idea of doggy made art when refinishing my hardwood floors. I let the girls outside and upon their re-entry, they left wet footprints on my stained, but not yet polyurethaned, floor. Yikes! And if any of you have a Pomeranian, or know a Pomeranian, they are hyper...all.the.time! Like this:
Proud of my Southern accent and excuse the talking bird in the background.
It is like that everytime she comes inside. The footprints looked like she had done the salsa with a little square dance thrown in for good measure - not the look I wanted on my hardwood floors...but cute for wall art! I had to mimic the paw pattern that was on the floor, onto the wall. Here's how-to...
The necessary supplies for this project: paint, paper, cheese, and a dog...or dogs if you have two.

| Behold the power of cheese. |
 |
| Putting paint on Baby's paw, using an old lid to hold the paint. |
Step 3 - clean up and let the art dry
Step 4 - Frame and enjoy

Paint $0 - already owned
Paper $0 - already owned
Cheese 5 cents....maybe, already owned
Frames $24 for two @ Target
Dogs Priceless
Total $24.05
$24 for two pieces of art. And, if you had extra frames laying around, it would be free art! What do you think? Do y'all have any artwork made by a pet? Have you ever considered your dog as an artist? Or does your dog think it's an artist by tearing up paper or leaving paw prints on the floor?
