S-Q's


Ollie goes nuts over squirrels (no pun intended). All you have to do is say the word and he gets all excited and looks everywhere for them. He's even figured out our code word "S-Q". If there's a tree around he looks up into the tree (who ever said dogs can't look up is wrong). We have a painting on the wall I did years ago that apparently he sees a squirrel in. When we say the word he immediately goes to the painting to find it. In the kitchen he sees his reflection in the pots and pans and thinks it's a squirrel. Luckily some genius made a squirrel dog toy that he enjoys immensely.
This scratchboard drawing was inspired by Ollie's love for squirrels. It's in progress, and I think it will look more like a squirrel once I get a tail on him. I'm sure Ollie will appreciate it hanging on the wall.
