Where has this year gone?

It's time to check out some of the new  2010 Pet Calendars -- and with pets being still quite popular in our culture, there are more varieties than ever.

We have pets dressed as rock stars, pets doing yoga and cats sporting high fashion. Something for everyone.

I went to Calendars.com to see what was being offered in the border collie category and found several products, including the "Just Border Collies" 2010 wall calendar ($13.99):  

A Border Collies 2010 Pocket Planner ($5.99):

And this one, my favorite, that features wacky "fish-eye" photos ($14.99). This must be the view my cat has of Tess & Cowboy:

Back from vacation. I was going to take Tess & Cowboy sheepherding, but it was too hot. Maybe next time.

But we did cross paths with a local dog photographer, Deirdre Holmes, who visited the dog park last week and was taking random shots of the dogs there that day. She managed to get one of the best photos of Cowboy I've seen (he hates having his picture taken). I guess that's what makes her a professional. She took some cute shots of Rocket, too, and Tess as well. They can be seen on Deirdre's gallery page:

Interested in getting some professional shots of your dog?

MacroMutt is a new Web site set up to link dog owners to dog photographers in their region of the country. Here's one for an L.A. area photographer, Jules Bianchi.

The paws? Those belong to "Olive."

Round up those critters. Santa's coming to town -- and several local malls and shopping  centers are setting aside times for pet photos with Santa. (Check out    our earlier post about one of the malls.)

So Hark! Here's the scoop:                  

• South Bay Galleria at 1815 Hawthorne Blvd. (at Artesia) in Redondo Beach: 7 to 8 p.m. Mondays, Nov. 24, Dec. 1, Dec. 8; 8-9 p.m. Dec. 15. (310-371-7546)

Your dog may not thank you. Neither will Santa.

But you'll enjoy watching it all happen.

Listen up, iPhone people.

There's a new application  that makes it easier to take photos of your DOG. Yes!

Bow cam (the program costs 99 cents to download) is described as the "greatest application for all the dog lovers."

But wait, you say, we can already take a photo with a normal iPhone camera, right?

Whenever you take a picture of your dog, the most difficult part is to attract his attention. Bow Cam is the best solution for it. Launch the app, and once you are ready, touch the "BOW" button. The iPhone will bark and call the dog for you!!

Seems to me a cat meowing might be more effective?

It comes in English and Japanese (shown in the photo above, obviously) -- you can find it at iTunes.
