#10 "Reese"

5"x5" acrylic on wooden plaque


"Reese" is one of the "Dogs of the moment" featured on Little Darling's Pinups for Pitbulls website. Clicking on his picture will bring you to the home page.Little Darling has really worked so hard to help change the public's perspective of these animals!
I really don't know much about Reese, except that he is still available for adoption and that he has a very unique face! I wonder what he is mixed with! &hearts







Also as promised I will be starting to sell my mini paintings! I need to set up my seller's shop so with the next post that will all be ready to go. as well as an outline of the policies and such. This has been such a fun challenge for me, and I already have the next few pups picked out so I can continue after the holiday weekend!

#6 "Camilla"

8/30/10 5"x5" acrylic on wooden heart panel.

I first read about "Camilla" on the Pinups for PItbulls fan page; here is an excerpt from the note:
******Camilla (A1137972, 2 years old, a mere 33 pounds, just a little thing is utter innocence. She is always beaming with joy; that face has the sweetest expression. She's a little dumpling, round and short and yummy. Camilla absolutely adores people and gives her kisses very freely. She has been kenneled with Perky (who we have all been networking recently) as well as other dogs and done fine with them. Having been at the shelter since July 31st and now on meds for kennel cough, she needs out at once!!! If you are considering a new partner in life, please make it Camilla. She will stay by your side for years to come."**********

#5 "Stryker"

When I first saw the post about this puppy... I wanted him so bad, that face just cracks me up! It looks as if someone took a paintbrush and just swept it down his face!!!! Too Cute. According the the comments under his post on the fb page he is in the care of a rescue... Which one I am not sure, but when/if I find out I will post it here &hearts

Excerpt from where I originally heard about "Stryker":

*****"I have never in my life seen a pup/dog as strikingly handsome as this little boy, because of this,we are calling him Stryker. I did ask if his black blaze was spray painted on him. You never know. This sweet tempered pit puppy was picked up as a stray in Houma,LA and now resides at Terrebonne Animal Control. Stryker is estimated to be about 3-4 months old. Due to Parish policies,Stryker can only be released to a reputable rescue. This is a high kill animal control. Because of the oil spill and people losing their jobs,many more pets are being surrendered. The shelter is very rescue friendly,super clean and the staff go above and beyond for the the animals in their care. They are a pleasure to work with. They are also great at picking out the best tempered animals with the sweetest personality."*****
