Taking a dip. Acrylic on board 10”
Ginger loves the chickens & ducks, she loves to hang out in the coop pen & she’s very gentle with them… I think she’ll like the ducks as they get bigger.. Ducks like water but they don’t need a pool, we do have kiddy pool in the pen & they do go in frequently for a little spin. When tiny I had to find a water dish that would not tip. I used one of the dogs water dishes - it was perfect and occasionally I‘d see a duckling swim in it & so did Ginger, which amused her as much as me. The idea for this painting was born.
The ducklings are getting big and don’t fit in the dish anymore, it’s now become a water dish for them where I add water with cut up fruit like strawberries, peaches, watermelon, peas & corn. They come running when they see me put anything in the dish, as does Ginger.
Ginger is a big (chubby) sensitive baby, she doesn’t like to get in trouble & is a quick learner. She is slimming down -on a perpetual diet as her breathing was becoming laboured but now she’s chasing chipmunks and getting more active again. She carries a baby (stuffless raccoon toy) for naps in the gazebo & gets upset when she leaves it outside, she even brings it to the sofa when watching a movie. She loves Poppy most, (Arrow least - lol) and prefers to lay touching her - squished up together - no matter how much room is available.
Not a day goes by where I’m not convinced, Dogs are Gods gift to us - furry angels, who love us, protect us, humour us & follow us for as long as they can. I grateful for every dog I’ve had in my life.
Pat your dog, show them some love & patience & you’ll have a faithful friend FUREVER.
