240 pounds of Love



This is Titan. He's an English Mastiff. His owner Chuck had warned me that he'd be shy at first but then warm up to me quickly. When that front door opened, Titan headed straight for me. No shyness there! He leaned his Great Dane like size right up against me. That was his way of saying hello. I'm told these dogs are said to be gentle giants. I have to agree.

Here Kitty Kitty






The Outpost had their 40th Birthday party back in April. They gave away prizes from local vendors. I was one of the vendors that donated a photo shoot. The lucky winner, Lawanda owned 2 cats. Lucky for me, Dakota (pictured) loved the outdoors, and since I'm allergic to cats, shooting outdoors was best. We kept his interest by blowing bubbles and throwing endless cat toys around.

ART ART ART!









Joe and I, met my dear friend Lori & her lovely daughter Sydney to paint a bowl this past weekend. The bowls that we painted with TLC will be donated to the Empty Bowls event next weekend. It's an amazing event. We volunteered the year before and it was a blast! Plus, so many beautiful one- of- a- kind to choose from. http://www.milwaukeeemptybowls.org/

We checked out the WPCA members show. Always full of interesting, beautiful, odd and clever artwork. The show ends Oct. 16th ( next gallery night) . I highly recommend it. http://www.wpca-milwaukee.org/ . Oh and the bigger deal about the show, it was the first time that Joe had artwork hanging in a gallery. I'm so proud of him!

The update on the high bidder of the Stinky Bulldog, one-of-a-kind chair. Drum roll please. Jackie V. , who happens to be the owner of Stinky. Congrats Jackie!
