I love you Wednesdays: Doggie Jewelry

One of the first things people who knew me especially well asked after I adopted our new dog, Ping, was "Well, are you going to make her jewelry?!" Though I appreciate the question, I am pretty sure I won't be making jewelry for Ping for three reasons: 1.) I can't even think of what I would make for a dog who hates having her collar on her, let alone a piece of jewelry! 2.) I know my heart would break a little when Ping manages to get said piece of jewelry off of her body and into the toilet, trash, mud, etc (see #1). 3.) There are so many people on Etsy who can do it better! I did some investigative research on Etsy and found a few pieces that were especially inspiring, and others that were just plain interesting! Let's see how Etsy sellers are spicing up your otherwise typical dog products:

Why have a boring black rope-like collar when your pup can have this stylish, hand beaded creation!

Sunset by collars4chloe; $45

Actually, why have a typical collar at all when you can just sport a cute little doggie necklace?

Boys Wear Necklaces Too - Pet Jewelry by nikkimcl; $16

And no collar is complete without a tag, but why get a standard silver bone when your can tell the boys what's really on your mind?

Bite Me Valentine's Day Dog tag by BowWowzerZ; $10

Just like those "My Child Is An Honor Role Student" bumper stickers, pets deserve a little affirmation, too!

Obedience School Drop Out Pet Tag by UrbanPuppy; $18

Or you can just skip the fancy tag and sport your dog's gemstone?

Birthstones Bone charm by BirthBones; $10

And don't forget the icing on the cake!

Ocean Blue Summer Dot Bitty Bow by BOWWOWMeOverBows; $3

And last but not least...

Pugs N Pearls Girls Necklace from FromStewartsKitchen; $15

Yeeeeah, I'll keep to human jewelry for now!
