My dog is my best friend

When I moved to NYC, the thing I left behind in Des Moines that I miss the most is my dog, Mollie.

Mollie & I at the dog park last year
She's a rescue dog from the Animal Rescue League of Iowa, an Australian Shepherd mix & was my 18th birthday present when I got back from my freshman year of college. It sucks something terrible to be away from her for such long periods of time-but she's at home, with our three other dogs, and a huge, one-acre backyard to run around in!

I couldn't resist...that's my sister passed out on the couch at home, with all four dogs-(L to R) Zeus, Zoe (in the blue chair), my sister Ana, Mollie and Tigger (in the kennel to the far right)
Yesterday, while browsing one of my favorite blogs, Apartment 34, I came across a guest post by Chris Olson of Momathon Blog, clicked over to her blog, she'd just posted the sketch below!

Dogs Are My Fave original post

 An idea immediately started brewing in my mind, and I reached out to her to see if she could do a sketch of all four of our dogs for me. We're now discussing details, and I can't wait to share the outcome with everyone! You can check out more of her portfolio here.

  18. How about we start with little dog preparing. The best an ideal opportunity to begin preparing is the point at which your pooch is somewhere in the range of 3 and 14 weeks old, it doesn't imply that your puppy doesn't learn well a short time later, however it is only the juiciest time when the person assimilates new deceives like a wipe, so exploit that in the event that you can! The following stage at which pet proprietors frequently need help is the a half year point, when little guys change into puberty, and this time is a lot of like the young years we've all experienced - unpleasant.

  20. When presented images of emotions like anger, fear, or happiness, the dogs responded more strongly and their heart rates increased. In addition, when the dogs viewed human faces showing emotion such as wrath, fear, or delight, they tended to shift their heads to the left. When the faces appeared shocked, the opposite occurred, probably because dogs perceive it as a relaxed, non-threatening appearance. These results lend credence to the idea that dogs are able to perceive emotions by employing several brain regions to interpret facial expressions on humans.
