The Professional Dog is adorable! I love these professional dog profile pictures. Your portable art setup has inspired me to experiment with something I can take with me so I can sketch and collage in my haiku notebook when I sit in the car and wait for kids to get out of school.

Thank you so much for your kind words about my book The Professional Dog! I appreciate that!! I wish you fun and luck in constructing your portable kit!! I have a zipper pouch that holds my sketchbook, pens, pallette, and water brush. In the past my kit included a glue stick, small scissors and an old Altoids mint tin filled with scraps of paper to collage with. Happy sketching and collaging on the go!!!

Excellent! Remind me to give you a shout next time we need someone to watch our Jackihauhau, Zeke. Cheers!

Lol!! So kind of you! FWIW I'm not a professional dog care giver - this week was a special case. Your Zeke sounds wonderful!! Please give Zeke my fond regards!!! I adore this chihuahua Jack Russell mix! Is "Jackihuhahua" what they're really called???

I coined the name. Maybe it'll catch on since it kinda fits. I used to call Zeke a Carpathian Crumb Snatcher but it just confused people. :)

It's the perfect name! But so is the Crumb Snatcher! I've had to be extra careful of my crumbs this week ... 😉

I loved every bit of this post! My dog is also a very supportive assistant... And quite a keen critic too 😅

I try to draw using my dog as a little table! He never seems to mind, but I'm conscious on resting things on him only lightly. Loved this!

So glad you liked my post!! My sketchbook is the size of a 3 inch by 5 inch index card when closed and it's light weight. While I draw I actually hold the book in my hand or rest it on a chair arm - not the dog on the lap. 😉 I lightly rested my book on the ever present lap dogs to take the photos!

I love the dog (I think?) in the blue dress dropping a curtsy as we applaud her splendid doodle!
