I haven’t posted this yet because it was hanging up for Valentines’ Day. This is our little family as it is today, with Hubby. Mack, Lucy and myself. We look a little different than we did last year, and the year before. Last year, we had just lost Chloe so we were still in mourningContinue reading “Whimsical Valentine portrait”

Fluffy the Lion
Today is National Single Task Day. I did a small cartoon box of Mack sleeping on the Ottoman. That is Mack’s single task preference. I did have both of them in the studio with me, but Mack wandered off and Lucy is currently pestering John to throw her ball for her. I didn’t post itContinue reading “Fluffy the Lion”
Too-ra loo-ra Loo-ral
Today is National Sticky Bun Day. However, I haven’t done anything with Sticky Buns other than a sketch in my daily ‘toon box where I have Lucy and Mack looking longingly at a sticky bun on the table. (No, we haven’t had any sticky buns today. But the day is still young.) What I didContinue reading “Too-ra loo-ra Loo-ral”
Love Your pet day
Today is “Love Your Pet Day.” In my very humble opinion, an animal companion is in our lives to be loved and love us in return. They are with us for such a short time. They deserve to be doted on and spoiled as much as possible and every moment should be cherished, for weContinue reading “Love Your pet day”
Inktober 2023 Day 12
Good afternoon!! Today’s Inktober prompt is “spicy. ” (Just a quick note, it’s spelled “spicey” on the official list.) I thought of a few things to illustrate today’s word, but as someone who used to grow hot peppers, spicy has a more focused meaning. Back when I had my garden in South Jersey, we grew manyContinue reading “Inktober 2023 Day 12”
Inktober 2023 Day 11
Good afternoon!! Todays prompt is wander. Mack and Lucy’s favorite. They are constantly on the look out for an open exterior door. Lucy is an escape artist and we have to be ever vigilant to ensure she doesn’t sneak out. Mack just wants to wander and pee on everything outside the house to set upContinue reading “Inktober 2023 Day 11”
Inktober Day 10
Good Day! Todays prompt is fortune. Mack and Lucy can think of nothing better than the good fortune of a huge bags of dog bones and treats. I thought of sketching a fortune cookie with a fortune in it but I had to let Lucy an Mack out to go potty and then they wentContinue reading “Inktober Day 10”
Inktober Day 7
Good evening! Today’s prompt is “drip.” Because it is Saturday, and I had many things to do today, I decided to draw the first and simplest thing that popped into my head. What is the most annoying thing that you can think of? (Aside from a mosquito buzzing by your ear at 2:45AM?) A drippingContinue reading “Inktober Day 7”
Inktober 2023 Day 4 – Introducing Lucy
Inktober Day 4. The Prompt is Dodge. Today’s Inktober prompt created a little bit of stumper at first because I wasn’t sure how I would portray that. Then I thought of all the times that our Chihuahua puppy, Lucy, dodged Mack to keep him from getting her bones and the inspiration hit me. I didContinue reading “Inktober 2023 Day 4 – Introducing Lucy”
Dog Children and Grieving
Today is the first day that I have been able to sit down and type this. On Monday, January 30, 2023, our beloved Chloe moved on to the Rainbow Bridge. John and I are still trying to make sense of this. One day she was normal and the next, we’re saying good-bye. She was onlyContinue reading “Dog Children and Grieving”
