This Winter my dog decided to take a trip.
He’s been wanting to get back to his roots so when he heard about this place called Camp Whosawolf he got very excited. Basically, you get matched up with a wolf pack and for one week you eat, drink and sleep as a wolf.
Here’s My Little Timber Wolf aboard his bus headed for Montana to meet his foster pack.
Here he is meeting his foster pack for the first time and greeting them as a wolf.
Notice his stern wolfish expression. He’s feeling pretty dangerous.
He’s always loved the snow. Here he’s keeping up with one of his wolf brothers.
Bringing down a caribou has been a life long dream for my little guy. He finally got his wish!
My pup was never much of a howler, but on his last day he was feeling very wolfish and he was able to muster a pretty good Ha-ruuu!
When he got home his was tired, his throat hurt and his farts smelled really weird. But it was good to have him home.

When I’m feeling blue and politics, religion and the economy getting me down I turn to a source of inspiration that has never failed me in my time of need.
Bulldog videos.
First is the famous Tyson. It’s amazing what this bulldog can do . While you watch remember that Tyson taught himself and he is so good at it he can turn corners! I just love the idea of a dog with a hobby.

Things can get even a bulldog down. Here is Floyd voicing his oppinion.

Happy reunions can brighten your day. This video features Winston meeting his daughter for the first time. It’s a bit long but worth watching!

Sometimes a gift can bring joy to your life. This video features Gus and his new pool.

Final, it can be a real hoot to see someone else more miserable than you. So here is Marshal,his new sweater and an attitude.

I feel better now. I hope you do too!

Apparently I am into weasels this year. I started illustrating my own book featuring a weasel, I created a otter print and now I am introducing my new Badger print. And yes, they are all in the weasel family. Badgers have a particularly bad rap. I think they are awesome creatures. Here is a video showing just how frinkin’ cute they can be , http://youtu.be/8Qn39LBQBL0 . The person in the video had a badger make a home at her home when it was young. They became friends and after about 2 years the badger left.
So if you love badgers and desperately need a some badger art please visit my Etsy store: www.badbird.etsy.com
