I've just seen a great Christmas gift idea for dog-owning friends. It's on a Kodak site. You print out a book of vouchers offering to do things for them. The example on the page is a voucher for five dog walks. A great idea if you have to come up with something in a hurry and don't want to face the madness in the shops - and, if you're in Melbourne, the uncomfortable summer heat.
The printables are free.
I reckon it could include things like a dog wash, or an offer to walk along with the human and pick up dog poo - or maybe even a play date with your own dog.
Oh, I just thought of another one...
If you are a competent photographer, you could offer to go on a walk with your friend and take a photo of them with the dog, and they could choose the best one to be framed.
There are endless possibilities.

a Christmas gift for Penny the dog
Just yesterday I was boasting that I had never bought a Christmas present for Penny. 'She's a dog!' I said to a friend on the phone. 'She doesn't even know it's Christmas.'
I will admit I have sometimes bought gifts for other people's dogs. But we all know they are really gifts for the humans, so they can have the joy of sharing them with their beloved companion.
But pride comes before a fall...
I've succumbed. I just bought Penny a gift.
A friend has set up a new business importing Polish tableware to Australia and I've come home with a pottery bowl for Penny.
Here's the story:
Hmmm...what's this in my eating spot? Is it edible?
No, it seems to be something shiny and hard. Not food.
Beats me what it is.
Nope, still no clue. Seems to be shaped like my old food bowls, but no food smell here.
Oh, well. At least this paper looks quite interesting.
Note from parlance - the tableware is gorgeous. When my friend gets her website organised, I'll post a link to it for any Australians who would like to check it out. (I don't ever do advertising, but when a close friend has made the brave move to set up an import company, I just have to give her all the support I can! It's all hand-painted pottery from a small family business in Poland.)
