Somebody Keeps the Chair Warm

Sometimes somebody likes to keep the chair warm.
Do you have a little doggie that does the same? I know that I like to keep the chair, couch, love seat or pillow, all nice and warm and toasty for M and M. Now, sometimes it might appear I don't like sharing. Or I don't want to give up my chair. Oops, did I say MY chair? Of course, I meant the chair.

Ok. You got me. I'm a chair hog.

Lotus and Zipper

There's something about a lotus flower...


Zipper is a little quiet today, not sure why.

And PJ (if I can speak of myself in third person) is plum tuckered today. Had a doggie massage at noon and then M and M let me play around at the beach(I was with my buddy Mocha and his Dad) while they painted.

I'm t i r e d. Night night.

Buttons

I love little buttons. There's something magical about finding a button, with loose threads hanging, and wondering where the little disk came from. Perhaps someone snagged their pink cashmere sweater as they entered a white picket gate. Or maybe the button came loose, slowly, as the years passed, and finally made an escape to the sidewalk.

Whatever the case may be, I like buttons.

Lemons, Backyard Birdies, and the Indy 500

Today was an interesting day.

First, I had a killer headache. The kind that makes your cheeks ache (yes, dogs have cheeks, lol), your skull feels like someone is using a metal grinder on the inside, and your eyes feel like someone is taking flash photos of you until you can see the red spots on your own corneas.

So, anyway, I decided to try an old folk remedy for a headache. A lemon. I sucked on half of a lemon. And guess what? It worked! I don't know if it's just psychological or what. But, I'd say that it helped about 80%. That's pretty good in my book!

Then, I saw some backyard birds. They were so cute. They were all puffed up and playing with a leaf from a dusty miller. Made me smile.

Ok, the best part of the day? The Indy 500 Race! Vroom vroom baby. Too bad the rain kept causing the race to delay. And did you see the slingshot passes those guys and gals were pulling? Awesome.

Hope you had a great day too.

New Listing at Etsy: Up, Up and Away!

I'm often dreaming of flying. I find myself running through the yard over the rough pavers. Then, just before I've reached the side garden path where the honey bear roses creep on a trellis, something magical happens. My front paws don't hit the wet grass. Instead, my back paws push off the ground with one sudden burst and my tail sweeps over the top of the lemon tree just as I soar for the stars.

Oh yes, it would be nice to fly.

Until then, I'll watch the finches, doves, and crows and enjoy the ground under my paws.

New Etsy Listing: Wabbiiiitttts!

Ok, so now I'm craving carrot cake muffins from Trader Joe's. I'm a bad bad bad....bad doggie. But at least I don't chase the bunny. The bunny and I have become friends. I don't chase and the little wabbit (yes, it's a rabbit, but it sounds better with a w, don't you think?) and the wabbit shares a carrot with me.

New Etsy Listing: Sleepy Bird Print

I can't even begin to describe how much fun it is to sit outside and sketch little birds. If you sit quietly, they come right up to the feeder and are a bit taken back when I rustle the paper by accident.

Welp, I'm off the peruse the backyard. I think I smell salmon-a-grillin'. Perhaps, if I lower my head and make my eyes all sad, they'll just have to share some buttery salmon with dill. I mean, it's hard to resist a begging dog, right? Woof...woof woof. Pwease.

If all else fails, I shall bring out the eclipsing bark. It goes on forever and drives 'em nuts. Either way, that salmon is mine!

New Etsy Listing: My Daddy, The King

We have been having fun with creating new digital prints! These are illustrated with extreme detail and so much fun to do when you love birds as much as M and M do.

Right now, we've had a surge of baby birds in the yard. Even outside the studio, we can hear them chirping from high above in the eucalyptus tree to right up at the window sill.

But, no worries, I've been a good dog. I didn't chase, not a one. I like watching the birdies. I only bark at the ducks when they splash in the pool at home.

If you'd like, check out our prints in our new shop at Etsy.

Couch Potato Syndrome

So, what is "Couch Potato Syndrome"?
Is there a way to prevent this?
Could there be a cure?

Here are the symptoms (in no particular order):

Complete lack of energy

Inability to eat anything except potato chips, coffee, and fried zucchini

Short attention span leading to remote control chaos (aka "flipping channels")

Frequent sighing

Pillows and blankets begin to spontaneously multiply on couch

More likely to acquire assistance from attendant (aka a family member) to retrieve food and refreshments

Insomnia due to increase in caffeine consumption

and finally,

...experiencing oblivion and contentment at having accomplished nothing!
