From my Sketchbook

Here is one of a lineup of funny small dogs I've been sketching, little dogs have such spunk!
Once I was a dog walker of a Shih Tzu.  I was fired because the dog would lunge for my
throat when it's owner would walk around the corner.  Then it would sit down in the middle of busy street
in defiance and refuse to let me pick it up.  When I didn't give it doggie treats, guess what?  Yes, attack mode again.  This story has a strange ending... after I had stopped working for it's owner, I went to a random party one night.  The owner came to the party and brought her dog.  As soon as they came in the door, the little terrorist Shih Tzu raced across the room through everybody's legs and hopped up into my lap!  Go figure!  Maybe that little grinch did have a tiny beating heart inside after all! 

So there is a dog story, and here is another favorite dog, the Brussel's Griffon, from my sketchbook. It came out better than the Shih Tzu :-)
