I have several online friends who are very talented artists--would you send me your Tanager painting to my sharonabend@yahoo.com e-mail address, Karen?
BTW...I guess you're using a "smart"phone to make your comments, aren't you, Karen? Because I'm on my laptop and there aren't any "emoji" options on C & C group if you're using a 'puter rather than a "device". I'd love to insert some "emojis" once in awhile!
I use both, this afternoon I'm using my laptop and it's letting me use emojis. Wonder why you can't? and just to rub it in 🤷🏼♀️ Try Control, Command and the space bar.
I always think of Queen Elizabeth II when I see Corgis. I had a neighbor in Palm Springs who bred them--she would have at least 3 of them sauntering around the neighborhood at any given time. Very docile breed!! I fell in love with the Maltese breed about 35 years ago (a client of mine was a private breeder and he shared photos of his "pups" and I fell in instant "Malty dog heaven" love! But I never thought I'd have one because breeders charge upward of $1,500 for puppies. I was doing gig work at Petco and Petsmart for Blue Buffalo and learned about "dog rescue groups" and started searching online for a rescue Maltese. My first adoption was Maisy--a puppy mill breeder who had spent her whole doggie life in a cramped, dirty, wire cage on a miller "farm". What a precious, submissive doggie girl was my Maisy. I was privileged to have her sweetness in my life for 7 1/2 years. She left me in September of 2017. 1 month later, I adopted my second Maltese rescue--a male this time. Colby--who was a "gift" to a woman who didn't want him in the first place--so she never trained him or taught him how to be a true Malty doggie boy. It's been a "work in progress" for the past 6 years. He's finally becoming a REAL dog (he's lying beside me snoring in his doggie bed right now!).
I must share some of the credit for Colby's progress with my guy friend, Jeff--he's been taking him on "drives with Dad" sometimes twice a day to get used to being "handled" and following commands. It keeps both of them from getting bored as Jeff hasn't worked since the SCAMdemic began due to the school systems being shut down (he's a high school substitute teacher).
If he were in good health, I believe he would miss it--the kids really identified with Jeff (he's a "Dead Head" hippie with a geeky "look" about him--LOL! )
OMW--I'm not of the financial "ilk" to pay thousands for a pupper. I'll be a "foster mum" when Colby leaves me - I know of a Maltese rescue group who is in desperate need for reliable "foster parents"....so that is what I will do--God willing.
Me too! 🤣
"Birds of a feather"--right?
I'm thinking Western Tanager for my bird...
Oh my - what a gorgeously plumed bird is that Western tanager - I've never seen one before. Do you see them where you live, Karen?
Yes, very few, we're on the edge of the forest but do have a water feature and they come in to drink. I did a painting of the first one I saw.

I'll opt for my all-time favorite - the male Cardinal!
Gorgeous! I've never seen one, we don't have them here out west.
And we don't have your Western Tanager here in PA--we should do a "bird swap"--LOL!!

Yes!
Is that a Corgi you're holding in your Substack profile pic, Karen?
She was about 6 months old there I think.
What is her name, Karen?
Penny is from Heaven, her kennel name was Angel, so I stuck with the theme.
Penny from Heaven - doesn't get any better than being "heaven sent"!

That's so sweet. They are cute dogs. Too bad your boy wasn't brought up properly. Very sad, but it sounds like he's coming around, snores and all!

That's perfect, some doggies need a man around. Sorry he's not subbing. Does he miss it?
If he were in good health, I believe he would miss it--the kids really identified with Jeff (he's a "Dead Head" hippie with a geeky "look" about him--LOL! )
That’s funny, I can picture him.
Sorry he’s not in good health.
Corgis are up in the mid-2000 range. Not sure I'll get another. x
I was lucky, some are docile, some are terrors! But I think it's upbringing mostly.

She was no where near that price 11 years ago. Probably won’t do it this next time around. May be a small pound puppy.
Where do you live?
southcentral PA between Harrisburg and Lancaster, PA!
