YSaC, Vol. 1153: Don’t step on my blue suede shih-tzu.
Painting Dog
I need my dog painted, preferably blue
Hmmm. Somehow I don’t think this person is looking for a George Rodrigue-type painting.
Look, Sparky. It’s not that important for your dog to match your shoes, your handbag, OR your favorite football team’s colors. Leave your dog the color it is … it’s much happier that way, and will be much less likely to pee on your bed.
Thanks for the ad, coopsalm!
Blue, blue, my dog is blue.
Blue is my dog now I’m without you.
Gray, gray, my cat is gray.
Cold is my heart since you went away.
Purple, purple, my fish is purple,
Now that you’re acting like a horse’s curple.
Green, green, my Virgin Mary art;
I doubted you, and now we’re apart.
I’ve heard it said that there is no rhyme for “purple.” Clearly, you were not taken into account. Well done, sir.
Painted, you say? I wonder what sort of brush one uses to paint a dog. Or do you use a roller?
Oh, and paint’s not toxic if you lick it off your fur. No, not at all.
Must be a “Blue’s Clues” enthusiast.
Didn’t you mean to link to this?
This is the next step in Designer Dogs. You want a Chug? We have one. You want it to be Pink? Well, that’ll cost extra. You want a Doodle? Wait, is that a dachshund/poodle cross, or do you want it to look like Jackson Pollard painted it?
Labradoodle is one of my favorite names for a crossbreed. Though the cross between a shitzu and poodle is equally amusing
Would that be a Shi’tzoodle, Silva?
Rather invariably, my mind is drawn to this “Monty Python” sketch–sometimes to the better; sometimes to the worse (depends on if I can watch <G>)
I’m sorry, but we painters are temperamental, you know, and I don’t happen to see your dog in blue. Your choices are:
1. Magenta with bedazzling
2. MacGregor plaid
3. Puce
But, but, the Burns & Rob Roy tartans are so much more blue than MacGregor…
I think someone misunderstood the words to this song:

My… that’s one massive link you have there.
Yes. Sorry.
I don’t know what this person is thinking, dogs make terrible painters.
Elephants, on the other hand, are not too bad at it.
They can compose music, too. I, for one, welcome our new elephant overlords.
Ganesh, or the four on the back of the turtle?
I have a cat with painting experience. I wonder if that would work?
Sparkadoodle, I could paint a portrait of your dog using only the color blue for the right price 😉
What do you think would happen if you crossed a Labradoodle and a Sparkadoodle? Spontaneous combustion with sparkles and confetti all over the place?
Nothing, the dog is too smart to cross with a Sparky.
But we could probably get Mr Diamond to sing such a song sung blue…
Then again, maybe he is looking for this: http://www.painteddog.org/
I don’t think they come in blue, though
Silva — it that a space alien dog? It has little antennas coming out of it.
Using paint on a dog is obsolete; the latest colors are to dye for.
Oh dear LlamaNun (BBUH), there’s so much wrong there. A little bit of awesome, but a lot of wrong.
Food colouring:

(Ok, so it’s a cat and she coloured it pink. The principle is the same.)
One of my friends and I have dyed our pets before (my dog’s body with green spots, her dog’s tail and ears) for St Patrick’s day but we used un-sweetened green jello mixed in warm water and just sponged it on. The pets didn’t mind and they certainly were cute. It wore off within a week.
It’s fairly common practice with fancy rats to dot the tails of the youngsters with food colouring, just so you can tell apart any that have the same markings/coat colours.
I read the ad. Now I am blue.
I know your pain. Why would anyone want to make their pet sad? Unless they’re thinking it’s mood paint?
Poor Rexie, he was… :whisper: neutered .. today. We just have to show everyone exactly how he feels. Don’t forget to bling up his nails. That always makes him feel regal.
You got your dog fixed? How did you know he was broken?
*Ba-dum dumph*
Money talks
But it can’t paint my mutt
Or give it a walk
And long as I have it
Here with me, I’d much rather it be
Painted in blue tones
Honey’s sweet
But it ain’t nothin’ next to puppy treats
And if you pardon me
I’d like to say
He’ll do okay
Painted in blue tones
Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight, by the bonfire
All alone he and I
Nothing around
But the sound of my Krylon
And it’s spray
Money talks
But it can’t paint my mutt
Or give it a walk
And long as I have it
Here with me, I’d much rather it be
Painted in blue tones
Notice Sparkadoodle says he and/or she “needs” his/her dog painted. What would precipitate such a need? Has poochie been bad and must enter the puppy witness protection program? Does he have mold stains? Graffiti? Has he had a hole spackled? (Depending what hole Sparkadoodle spackled, he may turn blue all on his own.)
Since when are dogs bluish? They don’t look bluish.
You only know when they beg for kosher dog biscuits for howlnukkah.
There’s nothing harder than telling your 5 year old that the family’s pet blue dog has died–far easier just to replace the dead pet with a live doppelganger. Unfortunately all the blue dogs were snapped up in the pre-Beesmas adoption frenzy. Solution: any old mutt and a tube of Cerulean.
Speaking of Cerulean, I have a story:
I was getting some car repairs, and waiting for the printout of the work done, etc. The guy behind the counter asked me to wait a moment because he needed a new “cayenne” (hard C) cartridge, or so I heard. Took me rather a while to realize he meant “cyan,” which I’ve always pronounced with a soft C. I was wondering why he needed to put spicy pepper in his printer…
Can you imagine, AR, what he would think was happening if he watched a cooking show that was featuring spicy foodies?
“Then we add the cayenne. BAM!”
… and the mechanic reaches for a printer cartridge.
Congratulations, Sis and Ralph, for being Best In Show! Punchity Punch Punch!
Good Morning, Westminster!
Clearly, we’re all missing a calling for monochrome dog portraiture.
