Sorry I've been missing for so long. I am still alive;) I have been relaxing this morning by drawing this rhino. I have an extra hour or hour and a half now in the mornings before going to work because of a not so happy situation. Yesterday when I went to see Cody (the dog I have been walking every day for years and years), there was a note from his owner explaining that he would be taking his last trip to the vet today. This was very sad, but expected and very much the right decision. Cody is 15 years old which is pretty ancient for a large dog and hasn't been doing well for a long time. I gave him a big hug yesterday before I left and the tears were just flowing down my cheeks. It was kind of difficult to go to work after that. I'm going to miss my big, sloppy, silly, sweetheart.
Drawing the big, baby rhino above made me very happy. One thing that I find so charming about baby rhinos is that they haven't yet grown into their very silly, big ears.

Hi Anne,
What a pleasant surprise to open your blog and see not one but two posts. But then, I felt sad for you having to say goodbye to Cody. It is a tough thing to do. My husband had to take our toy pom to the Vet when they put him to sleep....I just couldn't do it. Bill was so good about it....after they gave Angel the shot, he cradled her in his arms and took her outside for a walk until she passed away. We had been planning a trip out to Yellowstone before this happened and decided to go the very next day because I was so sad. It was a good thing to get away from the house and things that reminded me of her but it that sadness stays with you for a long time as you well know.
I'm glad you are drawing and painting again....it's good therapy for you I'm sure. Give your cats a hug for comfort.
I like your rhino too. :o)
