It has been a couple of weeks since introducing Niki to the larger sized pool….several times a day (with a day or two off during the week) she has been doing some swimming in the larger sized pool (with my help)….then doing her walking laps in the smaller pool. These sessions are two-three times a day. Last few days she has been swimming with “out” any assistance from me….no panic and she actually seems to be enjoying it…Yippee

**Please do follow water safety when it comes to pools and dogs. I am right off to the side, my dogs do not have access to the pool when not supervised.

 Just looking at this makes me smile…I simply adore these dogs. They just bring so much joy to my days. Yes, they also bring much much work…even now with just one Golden in the pack…lots of fur can be found billowing around the floor. Not to mention someone must groom these critters…now that is fun All in all….they make me smile, laugh…the good surely outweighs the bad.  This photo was taken for my Mom….she has never met Rocky and it has been a while since I sent her any photo’s of the dogs.

Tried to get the reflector in there….Gemma (Black dog) will not have anything to do with it, and she poses hereself where she feels comfortable…without an assisatant…well as I always say, sometimes you just take the shot

Gidget is all ears….not that she listens to her people very well….loves to tell a tale or two and demands to be pampered

Benni is still a WIP…although I am almost there….will put him aside and have another look in a day or so to finish up. What a lovely friendly cat Benni is….as often Maine Coons are….and Benni is a wonderful example of an outgoing, friendly Maine Coon.

While I love using a colorful palette I also just enjoy the simplicity of a painting that ranges from Black to White and in-between. This is Madie….lovely and so very feisty and very scrappy with other dogs just as a Schnauzer should be….well maybe not so scrappy with other dogs Her lovely image will be on coffee mugs and a sweat shirt….great gifts for the pet lover. For those that must have color….

It has been a  few days since posting, will get back in the groove soon. Just at times so much to do.
