When I was young, my Mother always said, "take care of your things".
In a couple of weeks I'm heading to the south shore of Massachusetts for a get-away with friends. I did this little sketch of a nearby beach where we walk each morning. My plan was to make this into a small Valentine for each of my friends. That is, until my beloved standard poodle Lucca-decided it was her chew toy.
Never leave your things around~ was my lesson for today. Accidents do happen. Do you have a story to tell?

ReplyDeleteOh dear- Lucca wanted to add her mark to the drawing!
ReplyDeleteI think it can be salvage. What do you think about continue the tearing around the whole picture?
Are you doing just the one drawing and making copies?
If so, what about outlining (border like u did around the picture)the area "shark Lucca" took the big bite and add another paper behind the missing paper to make it whole and adding some kind of quote on friends (and dogs!)? I hope this makes sense I see it in my mind, but not sure I can put in down into words.
Keep me posted. xoxo
Yikes I'm sorry to see what happened!! I worry about that kind of thing all the time with my boys (water getting spilled on a camera, etc). Great cautionary tale. The sketch is lovely.
ReplyDeleteJoyce~ That is a great idea- I can see it too. I will keep you posted on that. Thanks for your help- everything seems o.k. now!
ReplyDeleteL~ Yes... I shall be more mindful of where I leave my things....
like the time I left my big purchase shoes (chanel) and my brothers dog ruined one. ouch, can't very well just walk around in one slipper.
ReplyDeleteunless you are Cinderella.
OUCH is right... But that pup had good taste.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Prince wouldn't mind you in one Chanel slipper.
Oh, Debra! What a shame - such a beautiful illustration!
ReplyDeleteI think I can say- I've learned my lesson.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Anne~always nice to find your comments.
Oh, this is so, so sad :(
ReplyDeleteYes Julia, very sad but it won't happen again!
ReplyDeleteI love the farm table in your post today.
So happy you came by.
My cat Miss Belle walked on a wet painting I left in an available spot to dry!
ReplyDeleteOnly tonight I broke a favourite jadeite bowl! In too big a hurry. Drat. Yes, your mother was right..."take care". I'm so sorry about your lovely illustration. Edward is certain Lucca didn't mean to do it!!
ReplyDeleteAnd Lucca is certainly forgiven~ I can never stay cross with her for long. I think she just wanted some attention. Sorry about your bowl Pamela~
ReplyDelete"take care"~ D~
Oh no! What a beautiful painting and a very true lesson.
ReplyDeleteKarena~ I think Miss Belle just wanted to be part of your lovely painting~
ReplyDeleteKwana~ It takes a little longer for some of us... but I'm learning!
ReplyDeletesigh. I lost something very dear to me last week because of MY carelessness, not my dog's chewing. I have to keep telling myself that. I understand!
