Today we celebrate those who have stepped forward to serve our country.
I'm grateful for their willingness to protect our safety and freedom. And I'm inspired by their example of sacrifice for something bigger than themselves.

Old lady Gracie has been reminding me just how fast the time goes. It seemed like only yesterday we were bringing her home at 8 weeks.. and today I'm watching her struggle with her failing back legs, regularly throwing up her lunch and sleeping most of the day. She is over 15 1/2, and outlived her brother and sister. Yet, she still lives for every moment everyday.
We're up about 6:30 for breakfast and then she's ready for her morning walk, we've almost never missed a day.. These days it's just a sniffari, not much walking involved as her legs are not her friends. She takes time to sniff everything.. blade of grass, piece of trash, even the occasional stone. After lunch, if she doesn't puke, she's at the door again staring at me hard.. I know what she wants.. to go sit in the front yard. I love her so of course I do. She wants see the comings and goings and sniff everything the wind carries to her wrinkled old nose.
Honestly, it's the kind of life I want to live when I'm too old to do much. She is a constant reminder that even though you might not be able do much, don't ever let it stop you from living.. even if it just sitting on the front grass sniffing the wind.

Old lady Gracie wants to know what you're doing this Sat between 10-3?
Her food giving, carrying up the stairs, sniffari walker is doing his first little dog portrait art show down a Wagsburgh 10-3.
I know there are other events including No Kings, but he'd love to see ya. He loves dogs more than I do!

There will be some special commission pricing, cool free stickers and if you bring your pet dressed up you can get some photos. It's for a great cause! The pictures support Sable Kennel .. and if you take advantage of my daddy's special on commissions he'll be donating $ 20 for each one to Gray Paws Sanctuary .. my personal favorite since I'm a 15 1/2 senior too.

Unfortunately I can't be there, my back legs don't work all that great, can't see the best and I get nervous around strangers.. and don't get me started on other jumpy crazy lovey dovey dogs.. 🫷 just no!

Anyway.. so hope you can make it!!

Is it too early for Christmas... lol!

Sorry to all you Christmas haters.. it's my most favorite holiday.

I love going to craft shows. And Christmas in the Woods is my favorite. There's like 300 vendors.
I usually don't buy stuff.. my wife handles that side..lol!
But I just love seeing all of these amazing artists and what they make. This is cool show as it's rare to see anyone selling crap.
Everything I saw was pretty high end. An artist taking time and really investing themselves in their creativity. You can just see the hours and passion poured into the work. And I love that, it makes me feel a little less alone as I pour a big part of myself into each piece I do as well.

K9 Cairo: A Navy SEAL, a member of the Osama bin Laden raid and his story is told through the eyes of his SEAL handler Will Chesney ( ) in his book 'No Ordinary Dog'. I loved the book!

It has been a real gift and an honor to be able create this simple portrait of Cairo

And sorry Will, I don't think any dog is ordinary ;)

Frame day in my poor excuse for a shop. :)
I wasn’t much of a woodworker till I started doing my digital dog portraits. But after looking at the big box stores and seeing the crappy quality and how stupid expensive their were for crappy work.. I just couldn't bring myself to put anyone's dog art into a frame like that.
Every dogs is worth remembering and the art I want to create I want to reflect the beauty of a life shared.
So I'm learning to be a bit of a woodworker.
A little maple and a little walnut...
I think they are worth that... don't you?
