The Fujifilm FinePix z700 Knows When Your Dog Is Smiling
There's something special about the new FinePix z700 ($280). Hitting shelves later this month, the 12MP camera comes in four colors to suit your digital wardrobe, but also packs a punch with its 3.5 inch 16:9 LCD touchscreen so you can frame, edit, and upload your pics (and videos) in just a few steps. But the best part (well, at least for you pet owners out there) is that the FinePix z700 not only comes with face and smile detection for you and your pals to enjoy, but it also recognizes your furry friends' mugs.

This post comes to us from our community member doodlebug in the Pet of the Day group:
My very talented sis-in-law has just started up an Etsy shop, Gypsy Lane Designs, to promote her custom watercolor pet portraits, and I thought I would share a link in case any pet parents would like to capture the essence of their furry loves.
I've attached a photo of the watercolor portrait of my little Clooney, who has been featured twice as the PetSugar Pet Pic of the Day. I LOVE this print and display it prominently in my apartment. I just know that once you see it you'll want one for yourself! I also welcome your comments and feedback — I'm very proud of my SIL's work and am trying hard to gain publicitiy for her new shop!

Does Your Pet Interfere During Sex?
Is a Pet Good Practice Before a Baby?
A user in Group Therapy is newly married and wants something to care for, but she's not sure if it should be a dog or a baby.

Open House: What's Your Home's Pet Policy?
My husband and I share our house with two dogs, which means a lot more vacuuming and dusting than nonpet people experience in their homes. We try to keep things tidier by keeping the pups off of furniture. However, they have full run of the house, hang out in every room, and even keep us company while we're cooking in the kitchen.
