Draw Frankenstein like this mom!
Poppy the poser - I love her!
Poppy holds the biggest chunk of my heart! Every morning without fail, she happily wakes me up by rolling on my neck and occasionally inserts her tongue up a nostril - that gets me up in a hurry - lol. Yesterday while enjoying the sunshine & heat I was wondering what to paint & she started posing - now convinced, she wants me to paint Frankenstein.
I wish I could encourage all to get a dog (provided they are appreciated & cared for like the family they are). I read about a woman who is upset about cannabis because her son took his life & she blames cannabis. I felt for her, perhaps it did assist with him getting to the point it did - who knows. I don’t think to blame cannabis alone though will solve anything, especially her pain. Life makes people want to end their life. Struggles, loss, pain & we all have them - no exceptions.
I noticed my own cannabis consumption dropped drastically this summer, (legal 3 years now in Canada!) weeks went by when I realized I had not touched my bong (one reason I find it hard to believe it is addictive) I attribute it to the dogs, always being distracted by nature and creating. I absolutely do use it more for body pain, as I have used it the past couple of cold damp mornings to get me going. I’ve learned to listen to my body with all this silence… & God.
Some of the most fortunate humans I believe are those that have become so passionate in their creating/work - it’s helped them rise above all else. We all have speed bumps, setbacks, illness, failed relationships but if you keep focused on something else - your gift, talent, mission…you will eventually heal and move past. A life of leisure can be a life of sitting & thinking too much. It’s over rated. Dogs keep me active - mentally & physically, they demand love, attention and play! I am grateful for all the dogs I’ve had in my life but Poppy, my tiny service dog (retired) & California traveling companion reminds me to start everyday excited and ready to roll! Time to paint my dogs, the sky is blue, sun shining, another day to create for the creator. That is how we show love & appreciation.
My prayer for today is someone find that dog that loves them as much as my dogs love me.

Poppy praying the same thing I am!
