Margaret the Rat Terrier's Portrait

My What Big Ears Margaret Has!

I had a week to create the perfect portrait of Margaret as a present for her Dad (from her Mom.)  Her mom liked a straight on portrait, but didn't have a picture quite like that.  So, I worked with her like a police sketch artist, to capture Margaret's puppy dog eyes and adorable ears.

(Also my sister's name is Margaret, so this was a hoot!)

Holiday Ornaments

I've been very busy with holiday ornament orders!

 

Sleigh Bells Ring, Are you Listening?

And once again the months have flown by.  Two foster dogs later, we've decided that adding another permanent dog to our home isn't quite in the cards just yet, and now we've had our first dusting of snow in Denver!

I'm gearing up for the holiday season orders, and starting to bundle up Indiana for the colder weather.  After so many days in the 90's this summer, it is a bit of a relief.  But, I'm not sure I'm ready for snow!

 

Portrait for Shinkou the Shiba Inu

Yesterday morning, I saw that Shinkou, a beautiful little girl from the Shiba Scout Rescue, was overcome from the complications of a pacemaker that was meant to heal her fragile heart. While I did not contribute funds to her extensive medical care like many kind others, I followed her story of recovery. This is my contribution to her life. May she rest in peace over the Rainbow Bridge.
