Weird animal week

This week was about animals. First, I had to bury Jones. Meanwhile, I have been taking care of the neighbor’s dogs. This is a stretch for me, because, as you may have guessed, I am a Cat Person (with a borderline Cat Disorder). The dogs are 2 beagles and a very old dachshund.  The dogs are missing their people in a large way, despite the fact that I am over there 3-10 times a day! So the dachshund has decided she wants to hang out with me at my address. I look down below my easel and there’s Bugsy.

 I hear some serious cat growlings behind me, and there’s Bugsy.

 Zeke keeps saying, “Person, it is LOOKING at me! Make it stop!” 

 I go to the studio to get some stuff, look out the door, and there’s Bugsy.

Perkins is fairly tolerant considering he lost his buddy this week  – no growling, just a stare-down. 

I head back to the house for something, look out the front door, and there’s Bugsy.

 I’m just trying to get a little work done here, and there is all this disturbance. Bugsy’s nails click when she waddles, she slobbers, she clicks when she breathes, and she is upsetting my cats. However, I did get a little work done before it was time to run back to the neighbor’s place and change the sprinklers again.

Three 6×6 paintings were begun and completed. In light of the week’s upsetting events, I returned to my favorite flower for comfort.

 p.s. My husband killed rattlesnake in the lawn next to the sidewalk that leads from the house out to the studio. Stop with the animals already!
