Illustration Friday: Shaky


I'm still on the road heading towards our new home, but I miss participating in "IF" so I thought this was a great word to repost an illustration of my dog and how she looks since we've been on the road. Actually, it was only the first day she was a wreck. The cat too! But now they're understanding that we ride in the car for a while and then we sleep in a new room. We have at least another week of this life to go!
Have a safe and happy 4th to all who celebrate it!
I'll let you know when I reach my destination ;)

( I was unable to post this to Illustration Friday because I have no means of resizing to post a thumbnail.) Oh well, some of you will see it!

  10. I'm sure it was very unsettling for them, glad they have adjusted. I have been so busy, I haven't posted in a few days, or even been able to leave comments. Safe, safe travels friend. :)

  14. Animals are so smart. I love how they figured that out...what comes next. Uncertainty: a hard one for humans, a hard one for doggies and kitties.

  15. Dear Lolo!
    Today I opened your parcel and found the most beautiful mandala box! The cards are so gorgeous as well and the cool magnets!
    How can I thank you enough!?
    Just the thought of you thinking about me , buying and sending me this in those last hectic moments makes me feel very special!
    Thanks a million!

    I have seen this post yesterday and was glad to read something about your animals as I have been wondering how they take this enormous travel.
    So glad they have adjusted so quick.....
    And what a fabulous illo this is of Emma!!!!

    Take care and be safe!
    love

  21. I've been thinking about you all week! We've been on the road and somehow I knew you must be too. How exciting for you - and how hot! I remember 110 degrees in Kansas and Kansas is rather wide. Bless you, Brian and the dog! Look forward to your report from the East Coast. Sophie now much bigger but elegant; also still manic. Thinking of you!

  29. don't you just hate people who leave comment after comment on your blog?

    except sometimes it's the only way to say 'i love you'. oh, except the telephone. i forgot about that.

    breathe slowly dear friend. the boxes will shrink and your space will blossom.

    So- umm- are you there yet? urr-umm- are you there yet?...well- are you there yet?... (lucky Emma can't talk- she would've been asking that- haha) Hope the journey went or is going well.

  34. Oooooh, poor Emma. So glad they got used to the whole flow of things during your trip. What an adorable depiction!

    So, I continue to be spotty with my blogging lately. Even with your move, you're doing better than I, heehee. So, I'm in the process, right now, of catching up on your adventure!
