I’ve been so dog on busy lately! But that isn’t a complaint. I am creating some beautiful custom dog portraits. I love them! And as a bonus, I get to make people very happy. Dogs are my favorite subject. 🙂

Me and my family are the loving caretakers to a white standard poodle named Lucy. She is a rescue, but she was a hard sell because she came to us 10 years ago mostly blind and horribly un-socialized with people and other dogs.  She did not understand “petting” or “playing”.  She would stiffen up at the touch of your hand and crane her head away.
