Ahoy Mateys
International Talk Like a Pirate Day is September 19, 2017.
My dogs bark like pirates at all landlubbers every day of the year. Arrrf. To get yer tongue around some piratical slang you may want to check out a few handy resources.
The speech of Long John Silver and his co-conspirators is a great introduction to talking like a pirate. ReadingTreasure Island is rewarding as well as entertaining. You can also listen to the audiobook version which is available at my favorite website, Audible.com. I enjoyed the version narrated by Alfred Molina. To hear a sample, click here.
You can order a new or used copy of How To Speak Pirate: A Treasure Chest of Seafaring Slang by Geordie Telfer by clicking here.
If you are interested in getting an ebook, Amazon offers a Kindle version of The Pirate Primer: Mastering the Language of Swashbucklers and Rogues by George Choundas by clicking here.

Book to teach you how to Talk Like a Pirate
Talking like a pirate is much more than adding "Arrr" to your vocabulary. This book is great. When you go to Amazon, you can look inside and get some handy basics. You will also see how well the author covers his topic. He uses language from novels as well as historical documents. The pronunciation suggestions are helpful. The book is also a bargain. With a beautiful hardcover and pages look like parchment, it looks like it was looted from Long John Silver's sea chest. It is also an entertaining read.
More Products to come
Cafe Press does not offer an XXS size in Dog shirts, so I am looking for another source. The way Cafe Press works, I have no inventory. Once a purchase is made, they create the product using my artwork and ship it to the buyer. They collect the money and pay me a (small) commission.
I am looking at similar companies to see if I can find one that will offer a dog shirt in smaller sizes. I would also like the option of having a black shirt with a white logo.
I created a similar design featuring a chihuahua instead of a beagle. For the initial launch, I wanted to focus on a single design. Other designs will be available as the brand grows.
I call the beagle design "Jolly Rover" and I was thinking of calling the chihuahua "Captain Ayap." YHH (that is Yo Ho Ho.)
Here is what the new design may look like:
