This is a painting of one of my rescue dogs-- Joker. My mother painted this of him in the late
80's. It is a good painting and I appreciated it very much. She gave it to me one Christmas.
Joker was bought by a couple who made their living showing dogs. Joker was an Ibsen Hound. At the time there was very few in the US. They bought him when he was a puppy. They had planned to show him and put him out for stud. Joker turned out not to be a good breed dog He was too tall and too long and had a bad bite. We rescued him from them. They had given him away but the people kept bring him back. He was 5 and a half when we got him. We walked everyday kind of like Lulu and Bogart does. Joker was an lets go kind of guy!! He would have been happy to walk all day long!!!!
Something to remind us that it will be spring someday! It will warm up!! We have had 12 days of below 24 degrees and we are sick of it!!!Love you comments!! Kari will you leave an email or blog address???
Thank-you all for your friendship!!!! Love ya, Fern
Hi Fern,
ReplyDeleteYour Mother was really a talented artist. How I wish I could draw/paint something that is recognizable. I guess it's just not meant to be.
Thanks for the picture of that lovely rose - spring will come one day. Until then, I feel blessed by the fact that I have a warm house and dogs that love to sleep - I might just join them!
Hugs to all,
Lynn

Hi Fern, Thanks for stopping by my blog to encourage me to post. Joker was a gorgeous dog. The painting your mother did of him is fantastic. My boy just woke up from his nap so I will go for now. Stop on by and read my new post. ~Blessings and hugs, Karen
ReplyDeleteJoker was certainly a beauty of a doggie. Some dogs can just walk for hours! Very healthy for them and their owners too!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have a bloggie. Too hard to do!
We just like to visit nice people.
What a beautiful painting and what a gorgeous rose!
ReplyDeleteLove ya lots,
