Pet Portraits and Wildlife Art

Not much art has been going on I'm afraid, we've had bad frosts and as usual all of the animals outside suffered from frozen water meaning every day we have to go to each pen and unfreeze their water which is quite a long time consuming task. Also my rabbits and guinea pigs have had to be cleaned out, even in cold weather they still get dirty which is a bit unfair! I've also been getting supplies in for my new puppy who arrives tomorrow, I think I now have everything, bowls, lead, collar, id tag, whistle, bed, cage, extending lead, puppy food, treats, toys and a hot water bottle!!! I've booked her into out local vet for her inoculations and puppy check on Monday so it's all go. I'm sure I'll be taking lots of pics tomorrow to post of Willow's homecoming and I now have a camcorder or whatever they are called these days so I shall be able to post videos soon (wait until tractor racing starts again, see if I crash into a chicken pen this year!). Aside from all the animal goings on I have also started a wildlife portrait, so far I think I've done an eye so it's been very slow going but I am going to enter it into a competition if I can manage to fit it in! No rest for the wicked they say and it could well be true, in the meantime... a few guinea pig pics to keep you going until my next post.It's too cold, Sooty is hiding in his bedding...Sweep is looking for his carrot

And Pickle is about to jump ship in search of hay
