    Day Two

    Chickeymonkey is finally approaching Tucker. She does not like his jumping, and we’re teaching both the child to tell the puppy not to jump, and the puppy to not jump. It’s like two-fer training days at our place. Much fun and paper towels to be had by all!

    Catybug loves Tucker very much, and is turning red when he licks her. Fur is not a problem, he is a massive fluffball and hasn’t lost one hair yet. Love this single-coat thing, it’s great! The licking, the red itchies that follow – we need to handle. Any tips?

    Tucker loves the vents. He loves flopping down on top of the vents while the A/C is on and he falls asleep there.

    He slept through the night, with minor whimpering, and my fingers weren’t even in the kennel all night! Yay!

    He did his business outside so far today! Good boy! (pant pant)

    He is not a beggar or a yapper! He does not care about the ruckus from the dogs next door. He gave them one yip and that’s all he had to say about that. He slept on the vent during dinner lastnight, in the dining room but away from the table.

    Oooooh he is the sweetest little thing!

    Today was a great painting day, things are moving along and I’ll be showing you more of a progress image in the next day or two. I just wanted to show you this neat pic my hubby took while I was working, painting the underbelly of the pig.

    Tucker is our new little boy, he’s a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. He’s a sweetheart of a pup! (He’s also afraid of the pig! It’s hilarious!)

    How Fresh?

    Now to dive right into matters that are gross and disgusting. Do you see what I see? Yes, that’s it, that enlarged circle right there. I just returned from the grocery store where I bought this NIB, NBO (non-ebayers, that’s code for New In Box, Never Been Opened) “Fresh” Brush.

    Fresh? Not So Much. Not this morning, anyway.

    Gross? Definitely.

    Used? That’s debatable.

    Tested? I wonder.

    (Yes, please do tell me your stories, I’d love to know I’m not the only
    pubichairfindingfreshbrushbuyer in the world.)

    Iew.

    I didn’t realize that I was 13 projects behind in updating my Gallery! Yikes! I just finished getting everything uploaded, categorized, prettied up and all that, so I’d love for you to have a browse through my newest additions. You can find the thumb view here, and just pick a category from my gallery there. I’ve added blog designs, custom illustrations, two custom cat portraits, a custom dog portrait, the flowerbed mural, and other paintings and projects on my completed project list for 2006.

    Phew!

    Now I need to show you the final scans of Mick, Maude and Cheeky. (You can find these in my gallery as well!) Scroll on down, they each get their own entry.

    Smartie Pig

    Drilling into this fiberglass pig was no easy task. Slipping on his frames, getting them to stay in place – easy as pie. His sides are sketched and you’ll be seeing more work in progress over the next couple of weeks. He’ll be in full color (underpainting) by the end of the weekend!
