I'm Only Talking Blanket for Dog Dads and Dog Lovers

I'm Only Talking Blanket shows a grid of dog-dad sayings with DOG DAD, THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE SNACK DEALER printed in the center, and it reads like a running joke for anyone who puts their dog first. The line about being the snack dealer will make a dog owner laugh, because it captures the daily job of keeping a pup happy. This is a blanket for the person who would rather spend the evening with a dog than with anyone else, and you will see that instantly.

The print at a glance

The center panel carries the largest lettering, with DOG DAD set in bold black capitals above a paw print and a pair of rule lines. Below it, THE MAN, THE MYTH and THE SNACK DEALER stack in heavy type, with two dog silhouettes stretching out on either side of the last line. Around the center, a border of smaller cards runs in a mix of muted blues, tan and cream, each one carrying its own short saying. You can spot phrases about dogs, walks, naps and staying home, and several cards include small illustrations such as a dog silhouette, a paw print or a pair of hands giving a paw bump. The style is retro and cheerful, with slightly distressed lettering that gives the whole thing a vintage poster feel. Each card reads like its own little story, but together they form one clear picture of a dog-centered life.

Who it is for

This design speaks first to dog dads, the men who talk to their dogs like family and who plan their weekends around a walk or a nap. Dog lovers of any gender will feel the same pull, especially anyone who has ever turned down plans to stay home with a pup. When you give this blanket, the recipient will likely notice the snack-dealer line and the sayings about talking to the dog before anything else. The exact phrase I'm Only Talking Blanket fits right into the moment when someone sits down with a cup of coffee and a happy dog at their feet.

Occasions to use it

This blanket makes a natural gift for Father's Day, a birthday or the day a family brings home a new dog. It also works well for a housewarming for a dog owner, since the print tells guests about the household before they walk in. Use it on the couch during a movie night, wrap it over your knees on a chilly evening, or lay it across the car seat for a trip to the park. Available styles include the Fleece Throw Blanket, Sherpa Throw Blanket, Fleece Blanket and Sherpa Blanket, so you can pick the feel that suits the way the blanket will be used.
