Dog Each Day - REWIND!

Color pencils on champagne Mi Teintes paper, about 9.5″ x 7″. Reference photo by Cathy.

Mimi is now 2-1/2 years old. We adopted her when she was 5 months old, on Cinco de Mayo in 2004. She’s a mix between Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Chihuahua, we think. She is by FAR the smartest dog we’ve ever owned!! She’s a little escape artist, too – she’s been known to scale the exercise pen and the front gate more than a few times, though she never runs away, she just waits outside the gate wanting to be let back in. She loves playing chase with my husband, and she probably can’t wait until our son is old enough to walk so he can chase her, too! Her other great passion is destroying our cherished belongings. Today’s collateral damage includes a piece of Tupperware I’ve had since I was a little girl (it was sentimental) and our son’s favorite teething toy, a vibrating star teether which was the 5th of its kind, and apparently Mimi’s favorite too. She is also very dainty and refuses to walk on wet ground. And she’s very picky about the surfaces on which she’ll – um – eliminate. J But let’s just say carpet and grass are really the only options (and if it’s raining, then it’s definitely the carpet). But we love her dearly and are so happy she’s a part of our family! - Cathy

Mimi has quite a smile! That’s such an odd mix of breeds, but she turned out beautiful. Thanks for sharing, Cathy.
