"Indeed, our lives have been enriched beyond measure becasuse of the love of a dog. We have been adopted by that most irrepressible of clowns, that most intuitive of comforters, that most selfless of companions-the Boxer." -Stephanie Abraham

A Lino print I made last year at summerscapes, from a portrait sketch I made of Weasley when he was still living with us. Despite him being the most neurotic, odd dog I have ever met, he was a beautiful dog-- his tendencies made him a great dog for still life sketches, as he would stand rock still for hours on end, only blinking. I don't know why he felt the need to play statue, but it made him great for sketching.

As a funny side note-- his love of standing still and his disgust for laying in the dirt of the dogrun made him hilarious when we would leave him in the dog run for weekends-- he would refuse to lay down in the dogrun, meaning he wouldn't sleep. The one weekend we got back and I found him standing in the exact same position he'd been in when I'd left (two days before) and he was starting to fall asleep on his feet. His head would bob, his eyes close, and he'd rock back on his hind legs, aaallllmmmooosssst sitting, but as soon as grass touched his hind end, he'd rocket back into his starting position.

Yeah, he was kinda weird.
