A few months after I moved to Denver, Colorado, my husband I began the extensive search to add a new dog to our family (an idea our cat, Onyx, was not too thrilled by.) After checking our local shelters several times, I found the Colorado Basenji Rescue and the adorable Basenji mutt Yodel (later to be renamed Indiana.) Taking him around to the local dog parks and working at a doggie daycare introduced me to the dog culture that Denver had to offer. I started painting pet portraits in October of last year and have been blogging to post updates on my art and the antics of my two precocious furry babies.
Working from home with a cat and a dog living in an apartment has been pretty interesting and a little hectic sometimes! I’m ashamed to admit that most of my posts are about Indiana, as he tends to garner my attention by stealing food off the counter, chewing on dirty laundry, and harassing the cat when he is bored. I write a weekly post about (my attempts at) training him, since Basenjis are a notoriously hard breed to get to listen. Onyx puts up with having his picture taken on occasion and I’ll mention The Husband sometimes so he doesn’t get left out.
