Jimmy Stewart and Bo

TISSUE ALERT

I believe Jimmy Steward was a national treasury.
A one of a kind.
I never tire of watching old clips of him.

His poem "Bo" has choked me up each time I've read it.
It's hard for me to imagine anyone who has loved and lost a pet, not shedding a tear or two. Watching this man recite the poem, leaves me weeping out loud.
Grab a tissue and watch him deliver his poem on the Johnny Carson show, 1981.

Thank you Treasury

I voted in a California Crafters Club of Etsy's challenge and they were kind enough to include me in a treasury.

Senior Sadie Needs Help

This sweet older girl reminds me of my Gemma. Both were found in difficult situations and needed major dental help.

Sadie is in need of expensive medical care. Her veterinarian in Prescott AZ (Mile High) has estimated about $900 to repair her rotted, broken jaw and extract what's left of her teeth. Her foster mom says she's a sweet, active dog and gets a long well with the other dogs. She is about 8 years old and 6 pounds.
Please visit her site to learn more of her.

Thank You...

Confessions of a Dog Lover

These scribblings look like those of a crazy dog lady. Yes, I suppose it is true. I am a bit crazy when it comes to my dogs. I adore my dogs (all my pets) and have fun buying them collars and sweaters from time to time. I made this sketch and jotted down measurements, while choosing colors and sweater styles from A and B Originals.

Painting Pulik

I've been trying new techniques. I painted each layer of glass prior to fusing. Each layer had about 4 layers of paint, with kiln polishing between each layer of paint. After a sigh of relief that the pieces of painted glass fused together successfully, I added more details (more paint and kiln polishing) to the pendants.

Lots of ideas for more whimsical sheep and puli paintings dance in my brain. Settling down to paint them is the hard part. Hugs to your Herding dogs!

I've been working with a new type of glass. Hand painting on it is a bit more challenging, at least thus far. Every change seems to bring a new hurdle to get past.

I finished this kitty and realized it looks so much like my first cat. His name was Thomasina. Yes a male cat named Thomasina. I named him after a Disney movie when I was four years old. The 1964 movie was titled, The Three Lives of Thomasina. Ever hear of that oldie?

Sweet Pea wearing Cup Cozy

Kristy, owner of Etsy shop, Creature Comforts LLC., made us this beautiful cup cozy. It also functions as a little neck warmer for our girl. The pink in the yarn is one Sweet Pea's 'signature' colors, plus the little flower/bone on the side matches her crocheted jacket perfectly.
Thank you Kristy!

Wishing everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Meet Brain and Haley

a r t 4 m i l k b o n e s - a girl & her dogs: So my sister adopted some .... GOATS! This blog post reminded me of Brian and Haley:
This is Brian with my cousin. Brain was rescued from a dog fighting ring. These little beings are being used to bait and train dogs to fight.

This is Haley. She lives like one of the dogs inside a home. She is owned by my cousin's boss. My cousin works for the local humane society, so I would guess Haley was also a rescued goat.
