Saturday Snippet 3

Oh, how true!

This photo was taken on a trip to Provincetown when I first met KJ and Debra Kay.

I think this was the most well behaved Italian Greyhound I'd ever met.

Sweet as can be, and so smart!

Don't you just love her shadow friend?

Happy Saturday everyone!

Animal Wednesday: I have begun!

Many of you know I've joined the Sketchbook Project revolution with thousands of other artists across the globe. Please click on the link to learn more about it in case you don't have a clue what I'm talking about.

This blank journal has been on my desk for a month. I know it will be filled with both realism and whimsy. My theme is "It's Raining Cats and Dogs."

This morning I looked at that darn blank cover and decided to just jump in!

I won't (for once) criticize it and say what I see wrong with it. I'm just going to fill these pages and let them be what they will be.

So, many more Animal Wednesdays to follow will show the progress of this little book.

I look forward to sharing it with you! 

Happy Animal Wednesday ;)

Animal Wednesday: Meet Tay (Mateo, or Mattie)

This is my friend's little 12 pound Italian Greyhound, Mateo...Tay, for short. Or we call her Tay-Tay or Tay-O-Lay or naughty girl (because she is.) She's around 9 years old now and still sleek, fast and elegant. She looooooves Auntie Laurel! My friend said Tay knows when I'm coming over if I've called on the phone. She anticipates my visit and screams like a banshee when I get there. It's a crack up! She can be high maintainance because she needs it to be all about her (just like my dog) but she is irresistable. Look at that face! She's the 'cat of dogs' and knows only two speeds... lightening fast or sleeping.

I just thought you should meet this cute little girl. I'll miss her when I move :(

Happy Animal Wednesday!

(I thought I'd continue the Greyhound theme Debra Kay!)

Animal Wednesday: Stuffing Ourselves

This is my friend's Italian Greyhound, Tay. (Mateo) She had this red ball that she loved more than anything else. When it became nothing but a flattened piece of rubber it became a choking hazard and had to be taken away. Do you think any of us could come up with a ball even close to the specialness of that one? We never did. Luckily a move to a new home took her mind off the ball and her one-toy obsession was a thing of the past.

I chose her as my Animal Wednesday model today because of the way that ball is stuffed in her mouth, reminding me of all the people who'll be overindulging tomorrow! I'll also be having Thanksgiving at her house trying to avoid her big, brown pleading eyes. No Tay, go lie down. I may have to tell her to go find 'red ball' so we can eat in peace :)

HAW to all of you, and blessings to my friends who will be celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow!
