epic mini battle

this weekend, Bella the mini dachshund battled a garden snake. I heard her barking at something, usually it ends after a few minutes but this kept going and was consistent. so I went back in the back yard to see what was going on. a 2 foot long s was slithering through the onion grass. Every bark caused the tiny dog to raise an inch in the air with energy. Tired of the barking I attempted to remove the snake, but before I could the tiny dog grasped the viper by the mid section and flung it violently back and forth multiple time while growling. I could hear the whipping sound of the snake as it’s head and tail smacking the dog in the side of the head. The snake laid there bleeding from its midsection motionless. Bella reliving the moment barked at the lifeless body as if to say “take that!” for a few minutes. Then proceeded to do a sort of dance around the body. Bella is 8 lbs, the snake was as big around as a sharpie marker … an epic battle in tiny proportions …

what not to draw

this was hard to not draw everything and keep the page clean without getting it all smudgy. 

my cat likes to have me pet her everyday. sometimes I  am not into petting a cat, so ti try to pet her while I do stuff… which is not a very satisfactory thing to the cat… she will stick her claws into me while I try to get dressed for work… we have two dogs also but they have black plain eyes, the brown dog is always staring at me like I might accidently drop a steak at any second, if he only watches long enough…

I feel guilty for not petting the cat more but the black dog will jump on me and rub her llittle face on my face, she is not about to be ignored!….

any way a cat eye has a lot of depth, they can see in the dark, the cat eye reflects a lot of light, just another amazing piece of engineering people take for granted everyday…

we can’t make an eye. even though we  have HD tv, space ships, and cell phones, nothing is close to a simple cat’s eye…
