Chihuahua

Nibble

Lisa loves animals, especially exotic ones. So much so that she's been known to drive or fly long distances just to spend time with them. Lisa traveled 3,000 miles to spend time with the animals at the San Diego Wild Animal Park and Zoo. If possible, she would have moved in with them. By the time she left, they were eating out of her hands.

Hello Dolly

Dolly, an 11-year old Lhasa Apso, is a Daddy's girl. Most Lhasa Apsos are loyal, happy, and active adventurers who live to protect and be protected. Dolly is no exception. She is quick to react if there are any perceived or real threats nearby. Dolly loves to be with her human parents, often delighting them with her comic antics and endearing nature. She is a cherished family member.

This 20" x 16" acrylic painting was customized to show her human dad's love of music and of Dolly.

Rusty, the Rat Terrier

Rat Terrier's are immensely-devoted balls of energy. Rusty is no exception. His naturally-erect ears give him a look of intelligent alertness. Rat Terriers are sometimes confused with Jack Russell Terriers, although they have different temperaments, more refined profiles, and always have short coats, i.e., they are never wire coated.

Rusty enjoys dashing about his yard but is equally happy when he's curled up in a loved-one's lap. But, he's at his best when getting lots of mental stimulation, exercise, and a large dose of doting. Luckily for Rusty and his owners, there is an abundance of reciprocal doting.

Happy Holidays
