Dogs Welcome!

The City of Minneapolis passed an ordinance this summer that gives restaurants and bars the option to allow dogs in their outdoor cafes.

When asked if I would volunteer my services to illustrate and design a fun new sign to be used in participating businesses, it was an opportunity I couldn't pass up! These signs will start appearing around the city in early September.

The Best of the Web:
Simon's Cat

When I adopted my first cat Pete (who will soon be four years old), I fell in love with the beauty and personality of cats. When I adopted a kitten, Oliver, this past December, I officially became a cat fanatic!

As a result, friends send wonderful cat-themed links from the web to me all the time, however, I recently discovered "Simon's Cat" on YouTube.com. The creation of Simon Tofield in London, these animations are among the wittiest I have ever seen ... presenting situations that anyone who has a cat in his or her life can appreciate. Check it out!
