saturday’s shelter dogs

Wow…it’s once again been a long time. I almost forgot how to log in to post! I’ve had a lot of things going on personally, but have at least been able to go to the Shelter most Saturdays. This Saturday, there were so many sweet dogs there…so many that didn’t seem like they should be there. Like the 8-year-old Golden Retriever who should be relaxing on a couple of acres, or the dachshund “couple” who were in cages next to each other but couldn’t be put together because they had not been spayed and neutered, and who were so frightened when we went to get them out of the cages for their pictures. And then there was “Buddy”, the big 112-lb. guy that was brought in as we arrived. Sweet as he could be, he just didn’t seem to understand why he was there. And honestly, I don’t either. There are some amazing dogs at the Newnan-Coweta Animal Shelter this week. And all need great forever homes. If you are thinking about getting a dog, I hope you’ll check out your local shelter or rescue organizations before contacting a breeder. There are puppies, young dogs and older dogs just waiting for someone to love them. For more information on these guys, please visit the Newnan-Coweta Humane Society’s website.

catching up, part deux.

So after our weekend of one-light discussions and all, after my great guests left, I decided to practice on plain ole’ white seamless paper with, of course, my dogs. (They really enjoyed all of the extra treats.) I really like the simplicity and clarity that you get. And I love the variation of expressions (since there’s nothing else really different!) that they have. I think the simplicity brings out the subtleties of the expressions. And I like that.

a few of mine (again)…and reminder

I know. They are blog hogs. But they have to “work” (for treats of course). So here are a few of Dodie, Major, and Buddy (I know…Munchkin is missing. She’s just too much of a diva to tolerate too much modeling.) 

The reminder is that this Saturday is Pugs and Pumpkins in Birmingham AL, a fun event for pug lovers in the area! It is being held to benefit Alabama Pug Rescue and Adoption and I will be there with my photo booth, doing mini-digital paintings this year. Visit their site for more information or to just help out!  And speaking of helping out, one thing that you can do is vote for one of our volunteer’s pugs – Princess is Spooky PugWitch in the Bow Wow Ween Contest at the Disney Family website. The winner will receive a cash prize that Princess’s mom will give entirely to APRA if Princess wins.  Every vote counts! So if you want a quick way to help APRA out, go vote for Spooky PugWitch!

And one other opportunity to help APRA is at The Animal Rescue Site where you can find and vote for Alabama Pug Rescue and Adoption for another chance to win much-needed funds for our rescues.

Thank you!

Dodie's not new spike collar.  Because she's a "killer". Ha.
