@Skye - he was just EATING UP all that attention. He LOVES people. He was pretending to be more well-behaved than he normally is. haha. He wanted to make sure Santa believed he was EXTRA good this year.
I should add most of the dogs were really bad at getting their photos taken because SO much was going on. In one area was a vet clinic (vaccinations, microchips etc). Right next to Santa was a big adoption event of cats and kittens... plus dogs everywhere, and all of them wanting to greet each other. The dog in front of Chief wouldn't behave or sit still because he badly wanted to play with Chief and kept making noises wanting him to come over and visit. It was kind of adorable... The dog before that one was this beautiful female afghan hound with long, golden hair. Chief's favorites are always the dogs smaller than him, the ones a little bigger he's more cautious about. His favorite of the day was this happy little puppy. I think he wanted to take it home!
The four dogs that my girlfriend had when we moved to Maine together. The white Great Dane passed away in August. Deaf, blind, albino, and kidney problems. The orange cat is mine but the white one is our fur baby. All of the dogs except the Shiba in the top left are rescues. Thor, the brown pit, had a torn ACL and was about to be put down but got fostered in Long Island. Lucy, the grey pit, was a bait dog from Virginia. Very graphic but she had an eyeball hanging out and a wired jaw when my girlfriend got her. Not a cheap fix. And the Shiba was her ex's that ditched him when they broke up. Norris the orange cat was my neighbors that left him when he moved. He was only four pounds and had terrible fleas when I found him and then took him to the vet. And Dexter is the white rag doll. And the dogs all slept together, hence crowded onto two beds and ignoring the other two we had.

Awww, those poor babies. I'm glad they're in a MUCH happier home like they deserve to be, and have become such good friends. I'm sorry to hear about the great dane. I had one when I was a kid, and they are great dogs. To have all those issues to deal with must've been challenging, but I am sure they appreciated all you did for them during their time in your life. I also have a soft spot for pitties, my first ever dog when I was 3 years old was a pittie and he was the best dog ever.
The two pitties have extreme separation anxiety with each other and also with her. They're lovers and just wanna cuddle. The Great Dane passed away from bloat, which from what I've learned is pretty common in that breed. The Shiba is my buddy though. I take him for rides all the time, and to the beach (the other two don't like the beach).
My dog Chief passed out this rainy Monday morning. If he wants to sleep, you cannot bother him unless it is for food. He'll ignore you. However, if he wants you awake he'll bark at you non-stop until he gets what he wants. The first one is his fave sleeping position... one Norwegian Elkhound owners everywhere are familiar with. For some reason, elkies REALLY like sleeping on their backs with their paws up. I think it helps them keep their bodies cool, but who knows.
So, not trying to steal @Rom's thunder, but... we have a new little family member, ourselves, who joined us today.
Say hello to Wendy, who would be very glad to lick your fingers (and maybe chew on them):
That heart-shaped nose though.
And I love too Be still, my indelible friend That love soon might end You are unbreaking And be known in its aching Though quaking Shown in this shaking Though crazy Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby
So, after weeks and weeks of the bird parents getting freaked out every time we set foot out the door, they finally settled down and... I think it's hatched!
There's a beak! But it's hard to see so I circled it
Commission List: Aesi, Kenway, Shimi, Kythra, Trey, Sholen .... 5/5 CLOSED I will not draw them in the order that they are requested... rather in the order that I get inspiration/artist block.

@Jeslyn - awwww, adorable doggies!
( she is the only pet I've own that actually "watches" television.)
Chief's HUGE elkie feet. You'd have to see them in person to appreciate how big his paws really are.
Chief also has BIG ears. He can hear you opening food from across the house!
The last one he let me take, as long as I offered him a treat. He hates cameras.
My new puppy!
Small album since the pictures embed very big.
Come join the Achaea discord!

Also, this is Shamwow. He likes eating things and thinks that plants make him invisible.
