Precious contacted by modeling agency!

About a month ago I posted a photo of my dog, Precious, modeling her new coat (see top photo.) Precious got an email from a German modeling agency!!! She was very flattered and excited (especially when I told her the news with a treat in my hand), but the thought of international travel made her a bit nervous. She is, at 12 (84) years old, an octogenarian after all, and feels it's a little late for a new career in modeling.

Mo in Camouflage Bed

My dog, Mo, is a black and white shih tzu. When he gets in his black and white camouflage bed, he's hard to see. Every morning, after breakfast, he gets in his bed under the desk in the kitchen. In the winter, the sun shines right on his bed, for a cozy snooze.

Precious Nelson, World's Cutest Dog, 6x6 oil

Precious, aka Pooch, Poochie, Pooch-Pooh, The Princess, is my dog. She has two brothers, Charlie and Mo, and although they are bigger than her, they defer to The Princess. She rules the roost.

Shih Tzu Terrors

I scared the shih out of my little shih tzu, Precious. I have a show coming up this weekend. That always means lots of last minute framing. The sound of the electric drill scares Precious. I turn on the TV, radio for background noise, but she can STILL hear the drill and screwdriver going in my basement studio. I don't know why it frightens her. Some day, when I am a rich and famous artist, I can just paint, and let someone else take care of the framing.

Isn't she the world's cutest dog?
