Shaun Cagney

Shaun hanging out at the kennel while I'm on vacation. He gets the royal treatment!


As promised, here's a picture of my little guy, Shaun! He's a 4 1/2 year old Chihuahua that I found online. I know that finding a dog online is not the preferred method for most people, but I fell in love with his adorable face, and when I found out the breeder was having difficulty selling him due to that fact that he was born with a short tail, I knew I had to save him. He's the best dog I've ever owned (my family and I have had a few over the years). He's spunky, sweet, shockingly smart and just plain hilarious. His second name, Cagney, was given in honor of another little guy with a ton of personality, iconic actor James Cagney (who you all should be familiar with, and if you're not, shame on you!). I really feel everyone should have a pet, be it a dog, cat or canary. They just add a wonderful element to your life, even better than great music and beautiful clothes.

Some people put off getting pierced due to the pain associated with the procedure. Don't let that be your excuse! The discomfort is usually momentary, but the end result will be forever (unless you chose to let it close up). So go for it, don't be afraid.

Jean - Paul Gaultier Spring 2013

This collection has a definite 1960s- psychedelic- meets- fantasy- African- style vibe to it, and, because its Gaultier, somehow it works.
