Miss Brooke has been gone for two or three years now. I lose track of time because I like to bounce and wiggle waggle and live in the moment. I still respond with a pause and a quick look around the room when her name is mentioned. I graduated to top (and only) studio dog after Miss Brooke crossed over the rainbow bridge. I am still learning and haven't quite measured up to the standard set by Miss Brooke.

My "mom" is busy painting daily to get all commissioned works ready before the end of December. She says in 2015 she wants to paint more of the little urchins she calls children. Personally, I think she should stick with painting dogs because she is so good at capturing our personalities with brushstrokes.

Until another day,
Thor, the top studio dog, wishing you a Merry Christmas!
