Dog Jewelry

I have more dog jewelry than a lot of other categories put together. I find great humor and beauty in the canine species, thus much reason to immortalize them in my own way.

How long have dogs been domesticated? (I caught myself starting to write “on this planet alone.” I think I’ve been reading too much science fiction lately, especially work by Jack Vance, who really knows how to create a planet with exotic and believable flora and fauna.) One of my sources says a hundred centuries. But who knows for sure? I reckon we’ve been mutually beneficial to each other for a very long time.

Other domesticated animals have proven helpful to man in a lot of ways, but the dog really knows how to diversify! For instance, cats are wonderful and can be helpful in keeping the mice in check, but think of how many “hats” a dog wears! There are service dogs, bomb sniffing dogs, flock guarding dogs, human guarding dogs, hunting dogs, etc. Pretty spectacular for a species resume, don’t you think?

And so, in my humble way I have tried to honor the dog with my many dog jewelry items. I haven’t made dog earrings or pendants for every species, but I think I’ve covered the most asked for ones as much as possible. You might want to watch for more coming the Magic Zoo way in the future.
