Stories from my Sketchbook . . .
Mabel doesn’t sit at my feet (unless we are out of the house of course, and my feet are the only thing to hide behind).
But inside the house—I don’t think so. Being a teeny-tiny dog, Mabel learned very early on that it was in her own best interests to avoid anyone else’s feet but her own. (It should be written in the doggie handbook—two-legged giants stomping around on big clumsy feet rarely bother to look down.)
Besides, why on earth would she sit on a cold, hard floor when she could be sleeping between the pillows on mum’s bed, or snuggled between her two sisters in a blanket on the couch, or, better still, on mum’s lap. I mean, really . . .
Sally says . . . eat, sleep, work, read, play, draw, bark . . .

This is such a fantastic sketch of Mabel! She looks like she’s about to leap of that page & start jumping up & down wagging that tail of hers. I want to see more of these sketches – easy for me who can’t even draw a convincing stick figure!

I started with a photo (‘cos she wouldn’t sit still) but used the ‘real thing’ for the details. 🙂

Well – it looks a little bit like her anyway. (I have not shown it to her in case she takes offence . . .)
