It all started with Aster.

     I stumbled upon this picture after doing a Google image search for “shih tzu,” something I reluctantly admit to doing on a fairly regular basis.  I love the idea of taking your dog to a professional photographer, but what made this plucky pet parent decide to dress her fur-baby up like a bee?  And the photographer actually had an appropriate background setup!  Amazing. 

  I began to find more and more pictures of beedogs on the web, much to my delight.   After a while, I took to saving the pictures I found.  And now, dear reader, I share the beedogs with you.

     Beedogs.com was conceived and created by Gina Zycher (me).  The idea, unlike many of my other ideas, became a reality in August 2005.  You can reach me at

   I would love to hear from you, but remember: If you say mean things to me, I will cry.  Can you handle that eating away at your conscience day after day?
