It's been a month since I've posted anything (sounds like a confession!) My life has been hijacked by the needs of our dogs. About six weeks ago, we found a puppy in our neighbourhood. She was so obviously dumped here and we had every intention of leaving her at the shelter. We found her on a Saturday morning and the shelter was closed till Monday. In that time she successfully hijacked our HEARTS; long story short - we now own THREE dogs! She is some sort of terrier mix with short legs and a long body. Calvin and Pippa have cautiously accepted her into the pack, with a lot of filthy looks in the direction of us two legged verticals, as if to say
"What were you thinking...??!! We've named her Olive. Shortly after that Calvin, our 12 year old, started ailing. We got him through a collapse of kidneys last week, but we're not sure how long this little period of reasonable stability will last. But here are a few sketches of OLIVE. She reminds us of a seal when she sleeps, her short legs often disappearing from view. I was going to add more shading in brush + ink - but thought I'd better just go ahead and post this before another month rolls away from me! My sister Hilary would have LOVED Olive!
