Pet Signs: Announce Your Dog or Furry Creature

Hi, my name is Stacey, and my favourite friend is my beloved dog. Of course, I want the entire neighbourhood and anyone who comes to my door to know abut his presence. My last dog was larger, so I had a guard dog warning sign, but now, with my current smaller dog, I have a novelty sign announcing his presence. In addition to announcing my dog, it adds a bit of colourful whimsy to my house. As an artist, I am super interested in the colours and designs people use in their signs, and I decided to create a blog devoted to that concept. If you want ideas, tips and facts on designing a pet-centric sign for your home, please start exploring! Thanks for stopping by!
