Well, I was so busy with my Alt Summit stuff that I got a bit behind on my 52 weeks of drawings (if you’re not sure what that is, you can read my original post here). I’m just about caught up! While this is actually the 6th week of my project… these illustrations are for weeks 4 and 5.

Week 4: Four Legged Friend

For the week of my 4 Legged Friend I drew a Basset Hound. I’ve been getting a ton of requests to draw almost every dog breed you can think of! People love their pups! SO, I decided to add this guy to my pup club. I do need to say that Basset Hounds may be some of the most adorable puppies in the world… so squishy!

Week 5: Profile

My week 5 illustration was actually drawn about 3 weeks ago. I drew this profile, Miss Capree of Curbly and Dog Milk, for my Alt Summit panel.

The drawing I need to work on for week 6 is Tool. Hopefully I can get it finished by the end of this week. I’d like to keep myself up to date. I’ll also be starting my week 7 illustration, too. Week 7: Something You Love…

P.S. AS usual… you are more than welcome to join me! You can share a link to your drawings posts below.

Currently…

Obsessing over: Getting our fence finished. My husband started building a sweet little picket fence around the house… and, it’s taking so much time. Our weekends have been so busy… we haven’t had enough time to work on it nonstop. Just a little here… and, a little there. We want to get it done before the rain starts…. never know when that season will start (and, never stop) in Oregon. THEN: we get chicks in the Spring! Weeeeee!

Working on: Getting myself and shop ready for the holiday season. Last year, I couldn’t keep up. I couldn’t keep my little stuffies (see image above), stocked  in the shop. They sold out every time I put them up (or, even before they made it in the shop). SO, I’m stocking up. Yup. They will be up in about 2 weeks. AND, I have more pups coming… P.S. I’ve had a few questions about these stuffies: The dogs are about 6 to 8 inches tall and I do custom orders (order a custom pet illustration, plus $15 for the stuffie and shipping). You can email me if you have more questions about this.

Thinking about: About 5 billion things. Always. So much on the brain.

Anticipating: A trip I’m taking soon! I’m super excited about it. It’s a business trip… BUT, it will be fantastic. Ok, I can’t keep it to myself: I’m headed to Napa for 3 days. Bah! I can’t wait.

Listening to: Al Green, “Let’s Stay Together” on my favorite Pandora channel: She and Him.

Drinking: A glass of wine.

Wishing: That I had an assistant. Someone that will work for free. Ha!

What would your current list look like?

Well, it’s that time of year again. The time when little Mr Angus gets eaten alive by nasty fleas. Yuck.

It always starts around May each year… Poor little pup starts biting and scratching (and, of course passes these neat fleas onto our kitties). He’s pretty much miserable if we don’t get some flea medicine on him. Maybe since he’s so tiny they just bother him more? I don’t know.

I try to love all creatures… I pretend they all have a purpose (even those scary spiders have a purpose)… But man, to me fleas are here to spread disease and lies (ok, maybe not lies but I bet if they could talk they would be swindlers. Hee).

Any who, I don’t like them. They think I taste delicious and I’m sure that’s true, but I’m not dinner. So, I give him flea meds (we use FRONTLINE Plus), which takes a couple days, but he feels better without all those biting bugs. And no more fleas biting me! Yay!

In my celebration of these dead fleas (that sounds dark), I want to do a little photo contest! PLUS: I will give a $50 gift card to one of you. Yup. To the winner I choose.

{//Dog Bow Tie: c/o Little Blue Feather//}

Name: Angus

Sex: Male

Age and weight: 5 1/2 years and 6 pounds

Likes: Hanging out at home under a blanket. Breakfast. A long walk around the block. Staring at his family while they eat…. trying to use his mind powers to make them feed him. A nice back massage. Cuddling with his mama. Eating random mysterious items while outside… only to barf them up later. Dinner. Laying upside down in sun spots.

Dislikes: The shorter human. That giant grey cat. Bathing. Toothbrushes. Whenever he’s not eating.

His Perfect day: Lots of food dropping to the floor. Followed shortly by pooping in the house because it’s too cold outside. Sleeping. Cuddling in warm cozy blankets with a nice scratch on the back. Ending the day with more food.
