"Don't Laugh. It's Serious"

Click Here To Bid

Sure I needed to get your attention.
You're always on your phone or watching TV
and it isn't easy getting through to you.
I prance.
I dance.
I jump up on the couch to get a better vantage point.
But nothing gets through.
So I look incredibly sad. Like I'm sick or something.

Pity. It always works. Hey, I'm hungry.

Angle Pig

You saw "Babe". She was an adorable pig. 

Well I am even more adorable and want to be in your home fondly looking back at you.

 I'm shown larger than the other dog art Jeff has done, but you'll love me just the same. 

I don't go "Oink" in the nite. 

I'm quiet, sweet and housebroken.

Are You Lookin' At Me?

I don't know what you're doing over there. I am curious but also suspicious.
I don't trust easily as you know. Things are scary or dangerous or both.
I have to watch you at all times.
What?

Food? Oh, that's different.

I Did What?

Click Here To Bid 

You're blaming me?
Just because I am sitting next to this fun roll of toilet paper
that kept on teasing me, you're blaming me?
Couldn't it have been the cat?
You know how she tries to implicate me all the time.
She is devious.
I am your friend. Oh, you need to use the toilet?
Well good I'll move.

I've left lots of paper on the floor for you.

  

Sometimes I See With My Nose

Click Here To Bid

Of course I'm nosey. I see with my nose. Sure the smell comes way before the actual thing, the ball,
my dinner, you after your run, the cat (ugh).
I stick my nose wherever I want and that gets
me all I need to know.
Did I smell something on the stove?
For me? Really?

Oh, it's only your dinner (sigh)

You Bet I'm Concerned.

 

Click Here To Bid

You bet I'm concerned. It's the look I get when you start to pack the car or put
on your jacket.
Or when you mention the word vet (vet is not a nice word).
I could do the "I'm cute-what's happening" look but this one
is more serious and gives me more sympathy and reassurance.
Hey, I'm little so I have to be careful.

So what is it this time?

Oh Please, Please, Read My Mind.

Click Here To Bid

I know I don't have the right words to tell you what I want.
I can make noises but that doesn't always work.
Most of the time you guess.
It's feed me, go for a walkie, cookie (oh that's sweet),
pee or poop time or something like that.
But when I just want attention, a little head rub y'know,
do you get it?

I wish you spoke dog.

What? They Had My Colors Done?

It was just another trip to the groomer they said.
But when I got home and saw myself in the mirror,
I was horrified. My God, what did they do to me?
What will I tell the others at the dog park?
No one will take me seriously, I mean as a dog.
I'll bark. And they'll just laugh.
What'll I do?
I know.

I'll go live in San Francisco.

I Use The Pathetic Look.

Click Here To Bid

Sure I use it.
I use it all the time.
Why?
Because it works. If I want a cookie. If I want a walkie. Din-din?
You guessed it.
Does it wear out its effect? No, not at all.

They're simple folk.

"Can I Come Out Now?"

What was that noise?
Was it a plane? Was it thunder? I hate thunder.
I shiver and shake and there's no music!
I gots to hide somewhere. Ahh, the couch has room for me.
Then I'll just peek out to see if anyone else survived.

Hey, why are they all laughing?

"They Call Me The Hound Of The Parking Lot"

Click Here To Bid on this 8x10 painting.

There I was, just sitting behind the wheel, something I love to do, waiting for my owner to come out from the market. I'm patient. Hey, what else is there to do? I could poop in the back seat but hey, she gets pissed when that happens. I could chew the shift handle, but who needs it?
I'll just wait, looking really cool. 

Hey, who's that poodle in the next car?

"I'm Ready For My Closeup."

Click Here To Bid 

    You put all sorts of accessories on me.                                            But do I care? No, not really.                                                          After all if you love me, that's all that matters, plus meal time, walkies and plenty of good rubs and hugs. 

OK. I'm ready for my closeup. 

Want a selfie?

Do Not Disturb. I'm Dreamin'

Do Not Disturb. I'm Dreamin'

I know it looks like that's all I do all day.

Sleep.

But hey, I run around, do a fair amount
of sniffing. Squirrels, birds, bugs.
It's a windfall out there.
And then when not much is happening,
I snooze and dream.
And you know you can see me whimpering or twitching.

What do you mean I snore?

"I Am Cute. Now, Where's That Cookie."

Click To Bid

Look I didn't plan it this way. 

It comes with the breed, and yes, I'm petite, 

and yes I cuddle extremely well too.
So just a mournful look your way gets me pretty much anything I want.

Right now, it's that cookie.

I'm So Happy I Could Fly.

Click Here To Bid

Oh boy, a ride in the car?
A walkie?
Did you say, "Cookie"?
Once I hear one of those wonderful words, I get excited and happy.
Can't you tell?

Does the wiggling give me away?

Pre Wash And Final Rinse

So after dinner's over
and our pleading eyes are upon you,
you reluctantly lower the plates
to the floor.

Then the fun begins.

Our tongues devour anything
that's left.

Not an inch of plate is missed.
Yumm.

Hey, why bother with the dishwasher.

Ears Up

No other breed looks like I do.

Once you dock our ears,
we have these super pointy ears
that perk up whenever someone calls our name.
What?

Did you say, "Let's go!"
I'm ready.

Why Is This Dog Smiling?

Click Here To Bid

Hey, I only have a few expressions anyway.
Guarded, happy, confused and pleading.
Most of the time I choose happy. It works on both ends. Tail. Butt wiggle. Smile.
What was it you said, "Cookie"? "Walkies"? "Ride in the car"? "Dog park"? Who cares?

I'm up for it

I've Earned My Grey Hair.

             As we get older, the grey hair starts to show up, doesn't it?                                  Our walks are slower and it takes longer to get up on our feet.

 We stumble a bit and everyone notices you're just a little slower in your step.
      I've noticed it a bit about you.

Say how old are you in dog years?
