Hello, lovely people and lovely dogs.
I hope you've had a lovely day.
We've had a sad day here.
Our dog, Ro, has passed away.
He was a delight and a marvellous friend.
He was so loved and I will miss him so very much.

Dear
@drjgreenwood
, I am ever so sorry that Oliver received some rudeness today. I really hope that you don't mind but I had to draw him as I think that he is delightful.
Dear
@Maggarooo
, one of my neighbours has got a lovely rose bush that hangs over his wall. I thought that you might enjoy it. I drew you underneath it to save you the long trip over the ocean. I really hope that you like it and I hope that you've had a lovely day.
Hello, lovely people and lovely dogs.
I hope that you are having a lovely day so far.
I'm wishing you the very best for a fabulous Christmas Eve.

I'm so sad to hear about the passing of Paul O'Grady. He seemed like such a wonderful person and did so very much for dogs in need.

Good evening, lovely people and dogs. I felt like drawing some bright flowers today. Spring is just around the corner and it will be ever so welcome when it gets here. I'm just adding the finishing touches to my good night picture now.

I was watching one of your lovely videos of the Handicans doing their marathon and I just had to draw lovely Lollipop. His smile always cheers me up. I really hope that you don't mind.
Good evening, lovely people and lovely dogs. I felt like a bit of classic audiobook action today so I went for 'Wind in the Willows', Mole is my favourite character. I'm just finishing my good night picture now.

Good afternoon, lovely people and lovely dogs. One of my dogs has fallen asleep in my studio (she normally sleeps on our bed during the day) so I am painting her very quietly. Shhh.... How is your afternoon going?

is there any chance that you could ask
@MrAndrewCotter
to do a series of programs with you featuring wonderful Olive and Mabel doing a tour of beautiful Scotland, please? It would be glorious fun to watch.
I hope that you are having a really lovely day so far, lovely people and lovely dogs.
I am wishing you the very best for the rest of your day.

Good evening, lovely people and lovely dogs. My own dogs tell me that it can be ever so tiring being a good dog. They inspired this sleeping Beagle. I'm listening to The Reluctant Dragon by Kenneth Grahame this evening.

Dear lovely

, Herefordshire, where I live, is full of beautiful cider apple tree blossoms at the moment. I thought that you might like them. They are lovely pink and white floofs.
Good evening, lovely people and lovely dogs. This one is inspired by my dogs who have just hurtled down stairs after I pulled my dinner out of the oven. I'm just adding the finishing touches to my good night picture now

Oh Maggie. I am so very sad.
Thank you so much for all of the lovely smiles and flowers that you shared with us.
I'm sending your Mom the very deepest sympathies and the very warmest thoughts.
Good evening, lovely people and lovely dogs. This one is inspired by my own dogs who are experts in being comfy. I'm expecting that other dogs may have similar skills in this area.

Pupdate:- The lost puppy I found earlier has been returned to his humans (who had been having kittens).
I had to draw him, obviously. If anything, his ears were a bit bigger and even more glorious.
#hoorayfordogs
My dogs know exactly which pocket I keep the treats in.
I drew this image originally years ago but the file has corrupted and I can't find the original...so I had fun drawing it again.
Hooray for pockets full of treats!!

Hello, lovely people and lovely dogs.
I've just listened to "Dog Days: A Year with Olive and Mabel" by

I love to draw sleeping dogs, I find it very relaxing to think about what they may be seeing in their dreams (I'm guessing food, fun sniffs and adventure). Sleep well everyone.
