Maddie The Coonhound Is Finally Bound And The Book Is Out.

I first introduced you to the talented balancing Coonhound named Maddie and her owner/photographer Theron Humphrey a ways back with 33 fabulous images.  In that post I said the photos were begging to be a book and knew it would not be long before Maddie was atop shelves in bookstores as well as atop various items and objects.



Maddie is a sweet-tempered dog who has accompanied her owner, Theron, on a yearlong, cross-country trip while he worked on a photojournalism project. In his spare time, Theron took photos of Maddie doing what she does best: standing on things.



From bicycles to giant watermelons to horses to people, there really isn't anything that Maddie won't stand on with grace and patience.



The beautifully photographed and compelling images of Maddie are now bound into a hardcover book. The poignant Instagram photos of this beautiful dog and her offbeat poses have captured the imagination of all those who long for a road trip with a good dog for company. Maddie on Things celebrates the strange talent of one special dog and will resonate with any dog lover who appreciates the quirky hearts (and extraordinary balance) of canines.

Bob, The Sleeping Duvet Dog and Granny - More Trompe L'oeil Bedding From Snurk.

I love Snurk Bedding - as you can tell by the not one, but two previous posts I wrote about their trompe l'oeil bedding.

The Holland-based company designs duvets and pillowcases that are made in Portugal of 100% high quality soft percale cotton. Digitally printed with photographic images that mislead the eye, they are designed to be color-fast, even after multiple washings.

Now, they've added two new designs since my last post on them - 'Bob' and 'Granny', shown below.




BOB
Bob is the best kind of dog. He's cute, cuddly and curled up atop your bed. He doesn't need baths, or treats- or even walks. He'll keep you company morning, noon and night with no worry about fleas.

GRANNY
Granny is a digital photographic print of a crocheted cover. Complete with the coziness and homemade look of an afghan hand crafted by your own grandma.






The Snurk designers with Granny:


100% soft cotton
digitally printed, color-fast, even after multiple washings
printed on the front with a white back
not suitable for the dryer
easy-care
produced in an eco-friendly manner
washable at 40°C
