[…] Last week, I chose Tabatha’s entry of Mackie as the winner. Tabatha has entered several times over the course of the year – and as many of you already know – perseverance pays off! Mackie’s photo is adorable and I kept hoping she would enter him again so that I’d have the opportunity to draw him! […]

Zeb… my sweet Zeb… my sweet rolling in the deer poop Zeb is my entry again this week.
I should have taken a picture of his sorry self in the tub the other morning after a roll in the poo, but… since he’s afraid of the camera and hates the tub with a passion, I decided not to traumatize him any more than was already necessary.
His pictures are at http://ladybugxing.blogspot.com/2009/11/zeb-wonder-dog.html

Zeb came to us as a rescue when he was 4. He was a kennel dog, but he is very well behaved. He doesn’t poop in the house and he walks very well on a leash. He is funny and sweet. Every morning – at 9 am – he asks to go see Gram. We go over, he greets her and then sits and waits for his cookie. If I’m busy at 9, he fidgets until I take him over. Once he gets his cookie, he sighs contentedly and flops down on his belly with all four legs splayed and waits to go home. He is sooo silly!!!

I would like to enter our dog, Kiowa. Kiowa is going on 14, old for a Samoyed, and we know we don’t have long left with him.
My husband adopted Kiowa when he was 4 years old. He was the product of a divorce and then was taken back from his first adopted family due to abuse. Kiowa is the best dog ever. He has the perfect personality and is excellent with kids. We recently adopted our first child and Kiowa is his protector. When our son cries Kiowa will stand next to him and lick his head to comfort him. He will also come and get me if I don’t come quick enough!
Like I said, Kiowa is going into his 14th year of life. He was just diagnosed with arthritis in his back and he is having a hard time walking now. There are days he can barely make it outside and some nights he does not come upstairs to sleep.
I would like to have this sketch to give to my husband, who is very attached to Kiowa and I know will be very sad when Kiowa leaves us. This would be a great way for Kiowa to be remembered – not only for us but for our son when he gets older.
I have emailed you a photo of Kiowa.

Hi Leanne, I would like to enter Rocky my 2 year old boxer and he had a very hard life before my husband and I adopted him at 6 months old, weighing barely 30lbs, He was suffering from bad malnutrition. He has been on a special diet since the day we took him into our home. On a happy note he has gained weight, although still very small for a boxer, he is healthy, very happy, and acts like the typical “boxer clown” with his 2 brothers and sister.
I am emailing Rocky’s photo to you.
Thank you very much for this chance.

I’d like to enter a dog that we no longer own, but loved the short time we had him.
We had him for 4 years, but we decided to get rid of him when he bit our 2 year old daughter. My husband still misses him quite a lot and I’d love to be able to give him a portrait of Mackie for Christmas.
Thanks for the opportunity!
