It’s been a little quiet in the studio, but the house has been a buzz of activity with our sweet new 5 month old pug/ sh*tzu/ dauschand mix rescue from ! We are calling him “Parker” be use he was a “nosy Parker” on the flight home from Dallas- he wanted to get into everyone’s laps and check out the scenery anywhere but in his carrier🤣! I had never flown with a dog before, but the crew from was so sweet and helpful to nervous Nellie (me) and Nosy Parker! And I can’t say enough about the team at ! Although the adoption process is a little long and involved, they were caring and so helpful and his foster mom even met me in baggage claim with the pup so I could fly in and out the same day! They have also been in constant communication, checking on Parker and showing lots of care and concern for his adjustment period. Trainings is in full force and I hope to be back to painting soon with a new buddy to keep our other dog, Rona and me company! -pug
