Dogs in a basket

Today I had a long day of art! Did you see the event we’re having at CCA on Easter Sunday? So cool. I prepped for it today… Adoption as Art. I love it! “Dogs are available for adoption, for the creation of an artful relationship.” Love. http://www.muttville.org/news_and_events#20100404-adoption-as-art-at-cca

I came home to this CUTE picture from one of our foster parents. This is Jolie, and the other little dog is Spidey (the foster mom’s personal dog). http://www.muttville.org/mutt/jolie

This picture is art, isn’t it? It is like a painting. It reminds me of “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte” by Georges Seurat. Tonight I’m feeling interested in the art that is our relationship with dogs.

There is an artful dance we create with our foster dogs, a careful, heartfelt but distanced fox-trot that ends by letting in another dancer and watching your dog and their new partner float away.

I need this in my life as much as artists need art. This is my art. My relationship with dogs is art.
