We don't have one at our home, but we so enjoy our friends dogs.


About six weeks ago I purchased for myself my first set of "grown up" water color paints, brushes and paper. I began painting with CFrance's dog Crosby and then on to Bare's three, one who has crossed the rainbow bridge and Biggins who I just began his picture below. I painted Mozart our neighbor dog and today received pictures in the mail of Heidi, from his mom. When I am finished, I would love to paint, for FREE, some more doggies that are loved.


I am very much an amateur, but it keeps me busy and out of bars and I really love doing it.


If you would like me to paint your pup, FOR FREE, please show us on this forum a close up of his or her dear face. I met a doggie last night named Molly who is part of the single's group, maybe her dad could post her picture. I can do one a week. And please lie if you don't like them.


I know we would all enjoy seeing closeup's of your loved dogs.


Below is first stage of Bare's Biggins. I know his eyes are darker Bare and his nose is more pointy. And his complexion is more dark. And I have just started his nose. He is SO cute.

I understand completely. Mr. Buster is blind, deaf and 18 years old, but about 3 PM he lets us know it is time to go for a golf cart ride to get the mail. His nose goes 90 miles an hour all the way there and back. I love him so much, I may go with him when the time comes.

WHAT A GREAT THREAD! Gracie you are just the cat's meow...or should I say the dog's bark....It put a smile on my face to have a thread that is related to being wonderfully engaged in enjoying life and giving joy to others rather than moaning about the petty inconveniences of what are amazing times in our lives. THANK YOU GRACIE FOR STARTING MY DAY WITH A JOYFUL SMILE. BTW: I can't post a photo of Duncan..it is that nincumpoop syndrome..but will email you one if you like. As a matter of fact, I'm on my way in few moments nearby to you to Buffalo Ridge because he has something in his paw which he can't stop licking incessantly and, typical of brilliant Aussies, he manages to get off the collar, bandages, the socks, every contraption I put on to keep him from making it worse.

[Golfingnut]

I will second that emotion. I get up early and listen to last nights news and it leaves me depressed. A thread like Gracie gave us here has changed my gloom to a big smile. Thank you Gracie. Give us a new reason to get off on the right foot every morning.

Lou

You are doing a good job. Biggins looks like Biggins.

[Taltarzac725]

Sport knows Biggins and Millie.

Sport is struggling with heart disease so he does not come to Doggie Doo Run Run as much as he would like to.

I am amazed at the endless talents of you, Gracie! You are really good!

[marianne237]

Gracie, you just made my day. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and kindness. And, you can't prove to me that you're just an amateur painter. Happiness with your latest hobby.

[Carl in Tampa]

Gracie, how very thoughtful and loving of you. You are making a lot of people very happy, including many who will derive joy from having a watercolor of their pets who are no longer with them.

You are a great asset to our community.

[skyguy79]

Wow Gracie! The popularity of your talents are going to get you so bogged down that I might have to learn to paint just to help you keep up with the orders!

[redwitch]

The ever-so-gracious Gracie (no, I'm not being snide nor sarcastic). What a wonderful offer. LMK when you're ready to do a kitty cat. I would dearly love one of my recently departed Gabby and my lovable Bo.
