happy new year! (need a party hat?)

thank you antiqueclipart.com

for this super excellent freaky dog in a kilt

What I started out to do was find a picture of a dog in a party hat. That turned out to be a no, though I came this close to posting a cool "Lord of Misrule" type painting by the guy who did the "Dogs Playing Poker." (Cassius Coolidge, if you ever wanted to know.)

But I found this cute little Caledonian and thought he was a fun way to greet the coming year.

I also found a how-to page on making Dog Party Hats.

But this is all just a lead-up to saying,

Happy New Year my Museum friends!

I'm looking forward to finding more good stuff for you to enjoy in 2011.

Celebrate well and be very happy,

with all our feathered, finned and furred friends!
