The Adoption - Hoping All your Birthday dreams come true!! gouache on black 8.5 x 11.
I made this card for a clown collecting friend, while I was painting Arrow was busy painting' a card too...
Proof, the perfect pet awaits the perfect human. There is someone for everyone - even if 'just a dog'.
I love my dogs... this time of year - I feel slightly guilty, it's nice out- they can go out , they don't fear slipping or sliding -but they prefer to stay with me. Aren't dogs the greatest companions.
It's heart warming to see all the shared stories on social media of dogs rescued from shelters - discovering their new forever homes. I hope it's forever. I am especially partial to stories of dogs who have spent their lives chained to a dog house (or less) & neglected & abused, who finally become free & loved - part of a family, instead of a prop' or security'. Some seeing and rolling on grass for the first time! The Joy dogs feel & share is contagious. Occasionally, I read of cases where dogs bite, sometimes deadly. I feel for the human & dog, I won't judge by saying "the kids were not being watched.." because, I know accidents like this happen in the blink of an eye & sometimes to people, caregivers & animal lovers with the best intentions. Precaution should always be taken with kids and dogs, always.
Maybe January should be 'adopt a furever friend' month - it will help with alcohol free January, as you have to care & socialize with your dog & they don't drink. They even encourage exercise & spontaneous snuggling. I actually enjoyed painting a 'balloon dog'.. I think I'll paint another, doing doggy stuff. Arrow was pleased to show me her recent paintings & 'card' she made for our friend! Proud as can be to imitate mom - on full display for all to admire - provided the sun is at the right angle.
Dogs - I love them! Below, she was laughing at me discovering her masterpiece.
