Funkdafy Your Pet

The Missus just launched her first business venture, Sisu Pet: crazy inventive hand-painted pet portraits. Definitely eye-catching and funky, contact her for more info and ask for the Dude discount.

Sisu Pet is named after a ratty t-shirt that says "Sisu" on it that Karla's been wearing since the dawn of time. Still, the concept of "sisu" is pretty cool.

From Wikipedia:
Sisu is a Finnish term that could be roughly translated into English as strength of will, determination, perseverance, acting rationally in the face of adversity. The equivalent in English is "to have guts", and indeed, the word derives from sisus, which means something inner or interior. However, sisu has a long-term element in it; it is not momentary courage, but the ability to sustain the same.
In a word, gumption. Gotta like that.
