First of all...I want to thank all of you lovely friends out there for your wonderful and kind comments about Maisie. You had us in tears!...but very happy tears! She is such a joy!Unfortunately...our first weekend together was a little rough. Maisie and James were both sick. Little Maisie developed kennel cough and James got the flu. I don't know which one was more difficult to handle! hee hee. Anyway...Maisie is taking some doggie "Robitussin" and I am giving her some vitamin C and a homeopathic remedy to boost her immune system. She should be much better in a few days. Poor baby has to limit her activity and can't be around other dogs for about 10 days though...and she's not liking that one bit!
The photo below shows you her cute little tiger stripes...and her spankin' new collar. My Aunt Zieta from California says that Maisie looks like a supermodel! I thought that was so cute.
NOT getting much artwork done right now...but things will settle down in a few days and then the holiday painting frenzy will begin full tilt. Hopefully this little girl won't mind that her new mama needs to pay attention to some other dogs in the 2D form!

Hi Linda!
I love see her pictures. She is so expressive and beautiful!
I am glad everyone is feeling better. I have been thinking of you three.
Enjoy the 70 degree weather. :)

Linda -- I am so happy Maisie found you and vica versa! She's gorgeous!
Hang in there with the kennel cough. I know it can be stressful.

Hi Linda,
I'm sorry to hear about the kennel cough. Lytton had that when we first brought him home ... he recovered quickly and was much happier once he could be out romping about with other dogs. I hope Maisie recovers as fast!
I imagine James, your other patient, probably complained more than Maisie did!!
I just wrote a post about your Bianca cards ...
She has just the sweetest eyes, Linda. She's a treasure, I can tell! :) Love, Shari
I laughed when I read your post, only because I so remember what it was like when I brought 7 month old Fergie home from the shelter.
She had bad diahrrea, severe separation anxiety, liked to chew only my most expensive items (including my graphics tablet I use to design my art!), and needed a lot of attention. It was a long road for about a month, but totally worth it.
You guys will get through this and will be so happy for hanging in there.
And I'm sure she will be happy as a clam to just nestle in around your feet while you work. In time she will be happy and secure knowing this is exactly where she needs to be. :-)
If all else fails, just do what I did and distract her constantly with treat filled toys, lol!
Oh she looks so sweet. I'm so sorry about the kennel cough, my dog had that too, when we first adopted her. This too will pass though. Love her stripes.
Lots of healing energy being sent to both of your patients!
