Ode to Winston.

I think Winston is happiest when he is running and his ears are flapping back.  He is the watch dog of the house and the best cuddler around.  I can't believe he is going to be 8 years old this year and he doesn't look a day over 5 :).. well at least in his heart. His beard is starting to go white and snores a lot louder these days.  I'm already convinced he will live forever.  Nora loves Winston and Winston tries to sit in Nora's lap and when he tries they look to be about the same size. I can never get a good pictures of the two of them together.

This weekend Tim is out of town and I am finishing up some commissioned paintings :) I am doing commissioned portraits for the holidays and only have a couple of spots left open so if you are thinking about it for the holidays then now is the time. More details here.  We also got our first sprinkle of snow! 

Doing anything fun this weekend?

He looks like such a happy pup! Very sweet. I'm making holiday cards, baking pies, and headed to a pie and wine party! The weekends aren't nearly as long as I would like them to be.

Winston has a good personality face like a great companion dog that has common sense.
I'm painting this week-end and reading a good book.

Winston just stole my heart, officially. I have the softest spot for pugs, and he's just such a cutie pie! I'd die at a picture of him & Nora together! How do you handle the cuteness?? xo
