In her latest Pet Dish entry, NWsource blogger Lisa Wogan writes about local pet owners whose ink has gone to the dogs. Do you have a tattoo of your beloved dog, cat, fish, bird, sugar glider or some such critter? If you do -- and it's on a work-safe part of your anatomy -- we'd love for you to share it with Seattle.
