Yesterday, I had a lot of teenaged girls over. They wanted to paint. So I got them some canvases, acrylic paints, paintbrushes and a drop cloth. They kept themselves busy for a couple of hours, creating great masterpieces.
When they were done, they cleaned up, and placed their artwork on the table, to allow it to dry. Then they went off to do whatever they do.
Meanwhile, our giant German Shepherd, Schultz, had to inspect what was on the table. With his nose. Nobody witnessed this activity, but it was pretty obvious what he had done. And it wasn't just his nose. His pointy ears were white, too.
"Schultz!" my daughter said when she saw him. "What did you do?"
He cocked his head and looked at her.
Apparently he wanted to create a masterpiece, too!
(We managed to clean his nose, but Schultz is still sporting white-tipped ears!)
It's the latest dog trend!
ReplyDeleteJust think, if they'd left them on the floor, there would be white paw prints all over the house.
I'm glad they weren't on the floor!
DeleteHe wanted to show his artistic talent too
ReplyDeleteOf course. He's a very artistic canine!
DeleteWhat if he would have stuck his paws in it?? Yikes! Glad it was easy to clean up:)
ReplyDeleteThat would have been a huge mess!
DeleteGreat dog you have there Sherry.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
He's a good boy. Most of the time!
DeleteI wonder if it will ever come off?
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering that, too. It's been a few days, and it's still there.
DeleteHe wanted to help make their masterpieces truly memorable!
ReplyDeleteIt was the doggy touch!
DeleteDid you get photos? You must have photos, right?
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't take any photos. I guess I could take a picture of Schultz's ear. The paint is still on it.
DeleteYou have an artistic dog, Sherry. :)
ReplyDeleteHopefully, he signed with a paw print.
ReplyDeleteThat would have been an excellent signature. But I'm glad he didn't, because it would have been a huge mess!
DeleteDid the paintings survive?
ReplyDeleteYes, surprisingly, there's no sign of the dog on them.
DeleteChuckling at the dog's white tipped ears.
ReplyDeleteIt looks pretty silly!
DeleteHe is very curious, lol. Reminds me of my cats when I leave something on a table. They must investigate, and they've created messes.
ReplyDeleteHe's very curious. A little too curious!
DeleteLike Richard above, did you get photos?? I hope you got photos!
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't. I was too busy cleaning the mess.
DeleteWell done, Schultz. I loved having teens in the house to play games and watch movies.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
The nice thing about teens, is that they're usually pretty good about entertaining themselves.
DeleteFeature Schultz one of these days? (in a photo, I mean) :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe. I've had a few posts with pictures of him. He used to be more entertaining when he was a puppy. Now he's a middle aged dog, and usually well-behaved.
DeleteMy moms dogs have long fur, even around the face. If she shares food with them, their beards are stained for weeks!
ReplyDeleteI can imagine what they must look like after sampling spaghetti!
DeleteDog has also learnt to paint with your kids I believe mam.
ReplyDeleteAt least he thinks he has. ;0)
DeleteYou're lucky that the dog didn't leave masterpieces around the home... how did the girl's art hold up?
ReplyDeleteTheir artwork still looked great. You couldn't even tell the dog had a run-in with it.
DeleteCould have a new artist in the family
ReplyDeleteHe is creative! When he was a puppy, he used to "decorate" with his food bowls. You never knew how he was going to stack them up, or where he was going to place them.
DeleteHa, that was a delightful read.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it.
DeleteWasn't there an elephant whose art work sold for a small fortune? You never know Schultz could be the next big thing in art work done by animals.
ReplyDeleteYou've got a good idea there. I bet Schultz's art work would bring in a small fortune!
DeleteSchultz wants in on the artistic action... refuses to be left out!
ReplyDeleteYou never know, he may just be an artistic canine.
He certainly is that!
DeleteI'm just so impressed that you had such serious art supplies at the ready. Go Mama!!! lol! :)
ReplyDeleteNow THIS, I would have loved to see a picture.
