I’ve had an Instagram account for a while now to promote my paintings. And interspersed in the artwork, I sometimes dropped a photo or two of the pups.

But it occurred to me that I take a lot — I mean A LOT — of pictures of the dogs. Why weren’t we taking advantage of a picture-driven social media platform like Instagram?

Yes, you're in danger… of catching a whiff of Pig Dog's toot. Peeyoo! #pibble #pibblelove #loveapibble #pitbullsofinstagram #pitbulls #pigdog @instaham_and_banjo

Well, mistake rectified. Now the Pig Dog and her trusty sidekick are making new friends through cute pictures and well-placed hashtags.

What do you mean it's not a real crown? 👑 #rednose #ilovedogs #notabully #nobull
