Picturemypet.net is the result of one man’s love for his pet and the desire to show the world that a wonderful little animal has brought immeasurable happiness to his life.
Since one ear was up and one ear was down, he named her Floppy. She was found on the streets in 2001, when she was about 8 months old. Very timid and scared, she was practically skin and bones - but she had loving eyes and a friendly nature that won the heart of her new daddy. She’s now living a good life, happy, healthy and full of love!
Being the proud parent, Floppy’s daddy wanted a shirt with her picture on it. After doing a lot of searching, he found many companies that could put a picture on a shirt. The problem was that there wasn’t much choice in design. Quality was another issue. After purchasing a shirt with a rectangular heat transfer picture of his little girl, it wasn’t long before the transfer started to crack and peel.
Disappointed and frustrated, Floppy’s dad decided to do something about it. Having a background in graphic design, he started creating designs that would incorporate a photograph with a fashionable look. Knowing that the traditional heat transfer process would not produce the quality he wanted, he turned to a process called dye sublimation, a process which actually dyes the fabric of the shirt. Since the image becomes a permanant part of the shirt, it won’t wash out, crack or peel and it feels as soft as the garment.
Hence, picturemypet.net was born.
