Pet Inspired

I had a very scary Thursday night & Friday morning. My sweet sweet puppy love, Oscar, was pretty sick. He kept crying, not breathing easily, wouldn't eat, and could barely walk. I was a wreck. We rushed him to the animal hospital Friday morning and after some heavy drugs (narcotic, tylenol, and antibiotics) he is making a speedy recovery. The doc thinks he probably pinched something in his back. I seriously have not cried that much in YEARS! Lord help me whenever I have children and they are sick. Just look at this poor poochie...

In between tears, I noticed the vet's office had some great pet inspired prints. It's hard to go wrong with Theophile Alexandre Steinlen. If the name doesn't ring a bell, I'm you've seen his cat a few times. Steinlen's Art Nouveau illustrations and advertisements are classics. I'm loving these:

Do you have any Steinlen or pet inspired prints?

  2. Glad the poor little thing is getting better! I

    t's the worst feeling when your pet is sick... it's not like they can say where or what the pain is, so frustrating for us owners!

    Anyway, he is better now. Yey! :)

  10. I'm so happy that Oscar is okay! There's nothing scarier than a sick beloved pet.

    And my mother had three of those prints in her bathroom before she renovated them all. I wonder where they went to...

  12. Poor little fing! Hope he makes a speedy recovery. The posters are cool for a vet, make a change from the worming drugs and micro chip posters!

  15. Hope Oscar recovers quickly! I have a 13-year-old pug who is very sick right now and is breaking my heart! She has been a part of my life since she was 4 weeks old!

    For 8 years, I worked as a veterinarian technician, and we also had the same images framed upon our walls. This post brought back so many wonderful memories!

    Big kisses to Oscar!

  16. Hi again ~

    Just checked out your husband's website! VERY impressive indeed!

    Small world...my beloved is also an artist. We attended the Portrait Society conference two years ago, and I hope he enters some of his work in 2011.

    My family lives in GA where I was born and raised...so we visit the South often.
    So delighted I found your blog!
