Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to everyone who follows The Brindle and I here.

This was our Christmas card photo this year.

Gifts for The Brindle

I can't very well go away and not bring back gifts for the boy. I know he's happy at Marcodia's but of course I miss the silly guy.

So I picked him up a new collar in Key West, from Coconut Retriever. Here it is being modeled as a belt by his new friend, Frills the Grey Triceratops, yes that is a gecko on the collar. Frills is a Go Dog product, the same company that makes The Brindle's dragons.

I think he'll approve, what do you think?

Everything About Me #17

Greetings and salutations!

I'm going to offer you something a little special for today's entry from the list. It's to be an art piece (drawing, sculpture, painting, etc). I hemmed and hawed for quite a while over this one and then I realized, there is only one piece of art that I've truly loved recently and it's one that most of you will have never seen.

This is a work of art from a lady by the name of Teri Derome. You can see some of Teri's work on the Boxer Art website and I've liberated this little snippet about her from there: "Teri DeRome is a very talented artist and Boxer Rescue volunteer who specializes in watercolor paintings of dogs--namely Boxers."

A while back Teri did a particularly special painting for a mutual friend of ours. You see Teri is what I call an imaginary friend, someone I know via the internet but have never been privileged enough to meet in person. We met thanks to a wonderful creation called the Boxer Mailing List. The following painting is one that she did for one of list admins, Dale and his wife Diane, who aren't imaginary friends. I have been a guest in their home and enjoyed myself very much including waking up in the morning to discover Louis had joined me during the night.

I present you, Emily and Louis.
