By: jessicalynneart of: Haverhill USA

James Dean is known to pout when denied treats. This is a 4x6 glossy print that is signed on the back. It makes a great accent to any home or office and is also a wonderful gift for pet lovers. Who wouldn't smile at the sight of that face?

By: pugaboo of Tampa USA

My little Pug came preprogrammed to do this pose whenever she wanted something and wasn't being allowed to have it. If I told her no we are not having another cookie she would do this and make little baby sonuds until she got her cookie. If I said no we can't go for a walk right now she would do this and look so pitiful she was quaranteed to get her walk. My little Pouty Pug sure ruled the roost.

This piece was full fused to give it a nice rounded top and rounded edges. The image was fused into the glass using our sepia decals (which can be ordered at: http://www.beaderydestash.etsy.com), it does not fade or scratch off.

Born in the Midwest in the middle of winter, Pumpkin is rarely seen without his orange turtle-neck sweater. He wears it all the time. I've tried to get it off of him to wash it, but he growls at me, and that's scary.
