Retreat 2008 - Part VII


Our retreat 'mascot' is the cabin owner's Great Dane, Matisse.

He is an imposing presence - in both size and deep-throated bark -

-but really a pussycat, very loving and cuddly. Really thinks he should be a lap dog.

I am always impressed with his contortions - he's so lean and short-haired that his anatomical structure is easy to see (we draw him a lot).


And he may have the largest paws of any dog on the planet!

We certainly feel safer having him around.

What a sweetie. Love the front leg stretch pose.
They do think they are lap dogs, don't they?

That linoleum is from my childhood! I think every aunt of mine had that in the kitchen!

Love the stretch! He does look imposing and would certainly make me feel safer having him around.
