Always aiming to please, here we have a brief photo essay entitled Regal Pugs In Pearls.
At left is Linus, a six year-old apricot fawn Pug in four different strands of round, natural (not dyed!) color freshwater pearls, varying from 8-11mm and a haughty expression.
At right is Nixon, a six year-old smutty fawn Pug in a single strand of 13-14mm grey-black South Seas pearls and a soft, friendly, sleepy, but loving expression.
All pearls are strung to order, and priced upon request. Dog hair not included.
(photography done by the reluctant but ever-game Trey, click to enlarge for detail)
Oh yeah, now tell me those adorable dogs walk around like that and I will have a new but strange and unique respect for you that I've never quite felt before. What great photos.
(EMILY, as much as Trey will allow it, they wear fine jewelry. It really helps me with seeing the balance of the pieces on the neck of a moving, um, person. Nixon tends to like to chew on things, though, so he must be watched. But Linus (aka "Mr. Fancy") breaks out his special walk when draped in $5000 of pearls and takes it all very seriously.
As soon as we get this house built we will be getting a female French bullbog, and she will be wearing jewelry all the time. Because she will probably demand it, and probably look trés pretty as well. Susanna)

The pugs have made excellent choices in pearls -- the torsade is lovely on Linus, and I am always fond of a single strand of Tahitians. The colours in both strands are extremely complimentary to each of their coat tones. I am particularly impressed by Nixon's ability to wear 13-14 mm Tahitians. I find them almost overwhelming on my petite self, but Nixon, although small of stature, wears them with confidence and attitude!
I won't share Trey's impressive photography with George, as he'll suddenly be "needing" a large hole drilled baroque peacock Tahitian strung on leather or neoprene ...

Linus was totally robbed in that gay dog contest.

What cuties! Pet jewelry is a real craze right now. All my animals are to wild to wear it, so they run around naked.

Dear Linus and Nixon,
Be careful. If you're not vigilant she'll have you in sequins and stilettos next.

Being a Dog Person through and through, my first impression was "Aw, pugs!" But then even I had to pause and say, "Damn! Those are some gorgeous pearls on Linus!"
Well done.

Ah, cute! But if you really want some Blingdog action, check out www.artinjection.com. You'll find Ringdogs and bling-dogs by one dog-obsessed NYC artist. And don't forget to visit the Illustration pages if you want to meet Fatdog and Raccoonbat...
cheers, dave

Cute dogs...but aren't pearls meant to be worn by fabulous humans? For those of you who agree, I recommend this website called premiumpearl.com...dogs can't get their paws on this!

Ahhhh! This cute post got ruined by an SEO spammer from PremiumPearl.com. That is too bad.
Don't you wish sites like Premium Pearl would just pay for an advertisement instead of flooding blog comment section with fake testimonials?!
