They are cute, arent they....
Right now, I´m more than very happy Nimbus is here....
He´s weird though. He loves raw vegetables and fruit (just like me)

The exessively awkward drawing, intended or not, tortures my eyes.
But the guy has good humor and observation skills.

Many scenes remind me of my doggies, especially of how the males will out of all start licking their preciousness the very minute that I´m having a contemplative moment and started talking in rapture to them.

It´s a bit as if you´d inevitably be looking up the ceiling and picking your nose, every time that someone was telling you how much she loved you.

Besides:

Who of you has managed to never come out during the premature of your dog/s?

I have to admit that I did this morning, when for the maybe 100st of time Susie had digged out and chewn off roots of out of all the biggest tree in my little garden. ( Which meanwhile has suffered so badly, that I´m uncertain whether it will survive until next spring.)

She knows exactly that she shouldn´t do that ( and I have one by one covered the area with stones and flags ), and will do it over and over again nonetheless.

I grabbed her and put her head in the hole, throwing earth in her face. Just couldn´t behave myself.
