It’s me again, what a surprise, huh? Now I am officially convinced that I am the last writer left on this website. Alex promised me the other day that he would be participating more, but that has yet to happen. But then again, I am not surprised by that, nor am I not surprised by Tala’s absence. As I sit here typing this, I see tumbleweeds bouncing across the workplace desert. I can call out to Alex and Tala, but I get is a lonesome echo-echo-echo-echo, which somehow reminded me that I need to print my Borders coupon. I get free coffee, yay! life is better when there is free coffee, that is a lesson I learned very early on in life. So kids, enjoy your coffee!

I’m sitting at work today, bored as hell. Why? No sessions (THANK YOU LORD!). This is good, since I can now write a post. When I signed on the computer today, I saw a lovely email from someone who ordered something from me on Ebay. Her item didn’t arrive yet and I shipped it over a week ago. Her solution? Send her another DVD. Pardon? I was only selling one to begin with, so how can I send another if I only had one? Once the item is shipped, it is out of my hands and I cannot predict what happens from that point on. I am an innocent victim to a horrendous mail crime, I tell ya!

On Monday and Tuesday, I watched the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, and I gotta say, I was happy that the Sussex Spaniel won Best in Show. Being a spaniel person–my 16 year old Cocker Spaniel passed away almost three years ago–I am happy to see when the those floppy eared, soulful-eyed, and sweet puppies win something. Stump was a cute dog and an old man–70 years old in dog years– and he kicked all the young dogs’ butts! How do you like that? Never underestimate the power of the elderly.

In honor of the dog show, I’m going to show you to create dog fur. I probably should show you how to draw the dog first, but this is me and I like to do things backwards. Fur is an easy thing to draw because all it is is a bunch of lines that are packed together, much like hair. Hair was fun to draw, right folks? I hope so. So shall we begin with drawing the fur?
