The Dog Lover Thread

[Northwestcoug]

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?

This is the guy I want to do ours:

Bonus, he's in Canada so it comes with a discount when the dollar is stronger!

Have you thought about posing them around a poker table?

LOL. Now I'm thinking I want to do that...

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.

Yes, we are those dog people:

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.

All three? Where is the other one?

Cute dogs.

I hate dogs - but I hate not being loved even more.

What kind of dog should I get?

We love you, clack.

Geez. Just when I was feeling good about my Ode to Kujo.

Thank you Clark. That was really nice.

thanks for sharing, clark. i've never considered myself a dog person, but when I had to put down my 13 yo shorthaired pointer, i bawled like a baby. just an awful experience.

I have a complicated relationship with dogs and pets in general, especially today, but if you are the target market for this thread, and haven't seen SVP's tribute to his late dog, Otis, you should give it a watch:
