This just in: The art I made for my dog, Phineas, for Christmas

What do you get for the dog who has everything he needs? The same thing you get for people who have everything—art. I made this paper collage for Phineas to capture his philosophy on life. Merry Christmas, Phin!

Here’s the Phineas Way:

• Join a parade whenever possible
• Don’t be afraid to lead the way
• A first snow is a very happy thing
• Sometimes the best thing to do is sit and be quiet like a yogi
• “How good can you feel?” is a question you should ask every day, and answer
• Share something wonderful with everyone, always
• Fall in love with as many things, and people, and animals, as possible
• There’s cool stuff out on the edge
• Be excited
• Embrace the wild
• You’re perfect just the way you are
• Stay unique
• Learn how to be a good copilot
• You can never have too much joy
• New York is my soul city, and always will be
• Embrace tomorrow, no matter what happened today
• Live color fully, in many different directions
• Sing loud and proud like a bird
• Be unstoppable
• The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the greatest places in the world to hang around
• I love snuggling; snuggling’s my favorite
• I have one goal: to be the best dog ever. (And, for me, he absolutely is!)
