trusted free image host

I will have to eat the models they are going off

[Mups]

Has the little mouse run off?  

[klondike]

The clock struck midnight and he changed into a strawberry.. 

[Alex]

He went to look for some cream 

[muddy]

Given up with the strawberries for a while
Started a Doberman using a new technique ( for me ) with oils .
This is the first Doberman  I have ever painted but I have owned two and beautiful loyal dogs they are too .

[Mups]

That looks promising, Muddy.

(Only thing I can't bear is cropped ears).

[klondike]

It's quite a skill. Not sure if it's possible to learn but my natural skills never progressed much beyond those of a 8 year old. Not a talented one either.

This must be an old photo reference Mups as cropping ears is not allowed in the U.K. most of Europe and Australia .
Still allowed in the USA and Canada 🤬
Both my Dobermans were rescues and both had uncropped ears . Though sadly docked tails .
But any photos I had of them are sadly lost somewhere in the depths of the attic.
They are in my heart though .

Yes, the ear and tail crops have been banned for a good few years in the UK now, thank goodness,  although I read stories a good while back,  of disreputable  'breeders'  sending pregnant bitches to whelp somewhere in Ireland where at the time, they could still cut  the litters ears before sending them all back to the  UK breeder again.    Swines,  aren't they.
There's always ways round these things for some despicable people.

Clever painting..
The look in his eyes tells us he is waiting patiently for something ... a treat perhaps.. or the word 'walk'...
