I have been sick for a couple of days, so I haven’t gotten any paintings done. Well, what I did finish, I hate. It was a learning experience though! Here are a couple of pics of my faithful painting companion. click on the thumbnail to see full size.

Callie-01 Callie-02

This is Callie, my little Chinese Crested Powderpuff dog. She has some minor problems. We call her our “special needs” dog! We have had her for more than a year, and she is just now getting used to Chris. But, she loves her momma most. She is about 8# dripping wet and she goes in circles—all the time, to the right. Sometimes she goes fast spinning and sometimes she does slow room circles. Sometimes it is because she is nervous or excited. We think she is brain damaged. Anyway, when we first got her, she had a hard time with Chris and bonded with me. I tried to give her back to the lady who sold her to us but she wouldn’t answer my calls. So, we kept her. I am very happy we did. She is my joy. Chris now loves her too. It was just hard for him to be rejected by her for such a long time. She is a very nervous dog. I love her! Any ideas on how to keep her out of the pastel dust?
