    Well, Mrs. NWC is at least. This was her idea. I only wanted to get a painting of all three of our dogs

            Our first one Star died a few years ago. I wanted to get the two Wheatons (Star and Apollo) flanking Cassie (the larger Bouvier) in a painting.

                I'm sure you could get one made from pictures.

                        Yeah I should have been more clear. There's an artist we like that does great work with mixed wood carving/painting that has a side hustle with dog portraits. He does his work from pictures that you give him. I wanted (well, still want) one of all three of them together.

                            I am somewhat of a dog guy, but my wife really loves her two little idiot dogs. NWC's post reminds me that I have thought of getting a painting done of them for her that she can hang in the bathroom or a closet or wherever. Has anyone done that? Tips on finding a good dog artist?

                                                    PBW gets another German Shepherd....

                                                    About a dozen or so years ago, my 8-year daughter desperately wanted a dog. We agreed on a Golden Retriever and started contacting rescue organizations. But my wife kept coming up with excuses to not meet prospective dogs. Thought my wife just wasn't on board with the whole dog thing. But no, she wanted a dog as much as my daughter, just not a Golden Retriever. She wanted a German Shepherd and soon my daughter figured out that if a dog was going to join our family, it was going to be a German Shepherd so she accepted the change.

                                                    We adopted a German Shepherd that was a great match. Except my daughter had this image of going to the neighborhood park with her new dog and all the other kids would flock to pet and interact with it. That would have worked great with a Golden Retriever but not so much with a protective German Shepherd. It wasn't long before I was the one, feeding the dog, walking it, grooming it, etc. So naturally, I was the one the dog bonded with even though I was indifferent to dog ownership - just wanted to make my daughter and wife happy. Two years ago, this dog aged out and it wasn't long after that my wife suggested getting a German Shepherd puppy. And that this time, everything would be different as she would train the puppy and it would her dog and not mine. I was adamant that I needed more time.

                                                    A couple of weeks ago, a kid of one of our friends and former neighbor reached out to my wife because he was trying to place his German Shepherd because he was moving apartments and had to re-home his dog. Coincidently (or not), it was also my wife's birthday. So we now have another awesome German Shepherd. My wife and I are both working remotely from the same room. Guess whose feet the new dog is resting on - PBW gets another German Shepherd.
