I stumbled upon a website this week and fell in love with the owner's personalized sigtag of her and her dog. I asked Misty (of Misty's Getaway) if she'd make one for me and she did, letting me choose colors, etc. I sent her a picture of my dog, Shadow, and told her I have brown chin-length bobbed hair and here is what she drew for me!! Isn't it adorable!?!?!

And here is a picture of the Malti-Poo that I love so much! Didn't she do a great job capturing the color in his tail, ears and body? If you would like your own personalized sigtag, contact Misty at the link above - she has a Contact Me form that you can fill out and she only charges $5 per sigtag.
