Is it Monday already?

Well that was one fast weekend! Hope you all had a good one. On Saturday, Melissa Langer and I spent the afternoon together in Boulder. We had lots of great art talk and fun meandering around. We went to our favorite paper store and found some very cool goodies...although we had to talk each other down from spending WAY too much moolah. My credit card thanks you, Melissa!

So have you taken the "What Celebrity Is Your Dog" Quiz yet by Dogster.com? Well Maisie and Melissa's Pug, Emmitt took it. Apparently, Maisie is Madonna...and Emmitt is George Clooney. I can sort of see the resemblance, can't you?


And on another note, you probably remember when I recently posted about Leslie Moore and her beautiful animal drawings? Well Leslie has a new blog now...so please go visit her and welcome her to blogland! Below is another one of Leslie's drawings that reminds me of Maisie. Really lovely work, Leslie!

More O'Neill art to come soon! Have a good art day!

Maisie in the News!

Who's that little beauty (bottom left picture) on the front page of the Boulder Daily Camera today? Yep...it's Maisie Rose! The Camera did a story on the Wisdom Panel DNA Test and wanted photos of a few unusual looking dogs (Maisie prefers the term "stunning") that had gone through the process. They contacted our Vet and our Vet immediately thought of Miss Maisie. You can read the rest of the article here.

I guess I need to start thinking about adding an "in the press" page for her on my website. I don't want it to go to her head though...she's already acting a little diva'ish this morning after seeing her name in print! Yee gads...a star is born...

"And then there's the personal question so many of Lassie's fans want to ask: Is he allowed on the furniture? Of course he is — but, then, he's the one who paid for it."

A Slice of Heaven!

My oh my...how time flies. James and I got such a kick out of this. The Bakery made a little mistake with a "Happy 30th" instead of a "Happy 8th". The owner wanted to change it but I told her no...that it was a good omen for what was to come!

We had a wonderful dinner at our favorite restaurant and then came home to indulge in this Italian Cream Cake (Maisie had a nice piece too). I had to take a couple of pictures for Miss Amy...who always entices me with pictures of cake, pie and everything else on her blog. This is for YOU, Amy! By the way...Amy is an incredible Artist so check out her website as well.

James and I want to thank you all for your wonderful Anniversary wishes. They were so warm and funny and sweet and they made our day. You guys are the best! xox

Have a good Tuesday!
