I haven’t seen one of those on my trails since the Sedona Plein Air Festival. An artist!
And not only an artist, but a really cool artist. One that gives loves to dogs.
And she came a very long way to give me loves too. All the way from Canada.
That really makes her special. I don’t know many people who would come from Canada to give me loves – let alone artists.
What, person?
What do you mean, she didn’t come to see me? Of course she did.
What red rocks?
Oh, those. Why would anybody want to paint those?
Yeah, I know there’s a picture of the red rocks that you painted hanging in our living room.
Yeah, I know you take pictures of those red rocks and post them on my blog sometimes.
But you’re here already. And you just can’t leave your camera at home. And besides, I’m here so you don’t have to travel anywhere to give me loves.
So let me ask you this, person. If you could travel anywhere in the world, and you had a choice of either going to a place where you could paint red rocks, or to the place I was so you could give me loves you’d choose me, right? Yup, I knew it.
Well, don’t you think most people would choose me over red rocks? That artist is just extra lucky because she didn’t have to decide.
P.S. I wasn’t making this artist thing up. You can see her website here.

B., you’re so sweet, I am not surprised that people come from miles around to snuggle with you. Rocks? Ugh. Boring.

Your much better to love than painting old rocks. Of course they want to give you loves:)

Lexie and Mica, I’m not even sure why anybody would want to paint rocks when they can give me loves instead.

She was obviously there to meet you Bongo, perhaps she’ll put you in her picture?

Misaki, maybe I could be famous in a painting. Woo woo!

We’d choose you Bongo! We’re very jealous of her who could choose you in real…We’d love to give you lots of love, too!
P.S. Her landscape paintings are breathtaking! 🙂
Bongo
February 15, 2013 at 4:43 pm
Thanks Kevin. I wish we could hang out for real too. We’d have so much fun together. My person thought her landscape paintings were awesome too. She’s hoping she’ll get to see what the artist painted in Sedona.

It’s always interesting to meet new people with unique talents and backgrounds! I’m positive you made her trip extra special!

I am no artist but I could still give you lots of loves and I would come all the way from Bulgaria to do it……as I cannot come today I am sending my loves by cyberpost (((((((((((())))))))) XXXXXXXXXXX

Thanks for all the loves Patrecia. I hope some day you can come here from Bulgaria for real.

Oh, sweet Bongo those red rocks are okay but we would much rather have a painting of you. We would love to give you lots of pats too. That is cool you met an artist on your trail. Hugs and nose kisses
Bongo
February 15, 2013 at 4:46 pm
Thanks Chancy and Mumsy. I keep trying to get my person to do a painting of me but she says she’s not very good at painting dogs. I told her she can practice on me until she gets good at it, but so far she’s not going for it. Hugs and nose kisses to you too.

Looks like you got lots of love. We think those red rocks are beautiful. Ginger says the next artist you meet you should give them scratchy… hehehe
the collies and chuck 🙂

February 17, 2013 at 9:45 pm
Collies – especially Ginger – and Chuck, If I gave Scratchy to an artist I probably wouldn’t get any loves. What to do? What to do?

Obviously anyone would come to see you! Your person just doesn’t know what she is talking about!

Dalton, she probably has been reading my blog and just had to come see me – and decided to bring her paints along with her. You’re right. My person doesn’t know what she’s talking about.
