Digging holes = dusty dog. My little contribution to IF's "dusty".  A small drawing I took from my sketch book...

One of my goals this year is to sketch, sketch and sketch some more. I hope to sketch daily, I realize it's great practice that takes lots of discipline and... I like that. Now let's see how it goes, I'll be sure to share some with you.

Have you sketched your pet lately?
 Isn't it fun?

    Oh gosh, I just want to squish 'im. He is just so darned sweet..you've captured a wonderful feeling that brings me to that little kid wanting to have a pup for my very own. Lovely, lovely work!

    Squeeee! I want to hug him and pet him and squeeze him, dust and all! Oooh, look at those back toes. I love how they are all splayed out like that, like he's feeling something delicious with them. Or maybe drying a pedicure. YES, I LOVE DOGGIES TOO!!! I love YOUR doggies! You know, I'm not a compulsive doodler/sketcher. But I think you have a good goal there. I want to join you on your daily sketch quest! Huzzah!
