So many cheers for you, Sue! This is the joy of the mixing of hard work, talent, good people, creativity, art, and endless ripples! This is the power of open hearts and generosity of spirit, where every single body (two and four-footed) wins, and love wins. So fun to see all the pics, and thank you for sharing your day and the details so we could all be there with you, although far away geographically. Well done! ❤️😁🐕🐈‍⬛🐾🐾❤️

I couldn't help but smile at your wife's comment about you being in 'hog heaven'—it sounds like the event exceeded even your own expectations!

Lol!!! Thank you for your kind comment!! Yes, her phrase 'hog heaven' was so accurate!! And I really was surprised pleasantly at how well it went - the bookstore really went above and beyond! P.S. this bookstore ships books by mail to anywhere, even tho I live in town I've had them mail titles to me, and the way they package the books so carefully is so nice too. They exceed expectations in so many ways!!

Oh, Sue, what a gorgeous, gorgeous post - your hog heaven sounds right up my street, too! I was so thrilled to find this post waiting in my inbox to read (I'm rather behind in that department, I'm afraid). Worth the wait, though, flipping heck yessss!

I can feel your happiness and delight in this event...what a wonderful display this bookstore created. Great photos ...feels like I’m right there! You are so talented, Sue.... I had no idea your work extended to pets and cards and paintings; on-demand drawings! You’re in love with it all and it shows. Such a happy day and a happy post... makes me smile! Thank you for brightening my day!

Thank you for sharing your joyful live drawing event, Sue! It made me happy just to read the post.

As for loving something enough to roll in it, the late, lamented Soft Paws (our childhood dog) must have loved the decomposing corpses of dead animals very, very much.

I'm delighted my post made you happy!!! Hearing that makes my day!!!

Our longhaired dachshund Rusty must be a cousin of your dear Soft Paws... our neighborhood has a resident hawk who kills and sometimes drops squirrels, mice etc in our backyard. If Rusty finds it before we humans do he rolls and rolls... 🤦‍♀️ He gets a B A T H immediately upon discovery- and he absolutely despises baths. I've tried explaining cause and effect to him while soaping and rinsing his 11 pound self but he's usually not listening. 🤷‍♀️

Soft Paws' modus operandi was to waltz into the kitchen aprez roll and sit under the table while we were eating--until somebody shrieked.

Lol!!! Goodness! Sounds like Soft Paws really had a way of commanding attention during meals! Perhaps he thought all meals were poluck??

Very much an entitlement attitude, particularly if there was cheese involved. Completely oblivious to causing offense.

So nice that you had so much fun at your gig. These promo events can sometimes be a real drag or even humiliating. The one I was part of was exactly that, so to hear that the store wanted to continue selling your work made me smile. Congratulations!

Forty degrees the high; heat is out in the building; chilly rain falling; parking lot half FULL--a little resistance but you were destined for a great day! Good on you, A.M.!
