One day I decide to take the Balinese mesh canopy off the bed. It exposed the skylight in the ceiling letting more light into the room. However, as soon as it got dark outside and the lights went on in the bedroom all hell broke loose. Sophie climbed on the bed and starting staring, growling and barking at her reflection in the window. The "Night Dog" had come into our lives.
Ever vigilant, she will sometimes stand on her hind legs and growl at her tormentor. She eventually tires of the "Night Dog" and falls into blissful dog sleep. Of course, the dreaded "Night Dog" comes by every night and some early mornings.
What the "Night Dog" sees when it stops by to check on Sophie.
Oh what a hoot! My cats stare at their reflections in the windows, but so far no outright threats of the night cats...

I love these sketches of Sophie and of the Night Dog! Poor Sophie - haunted by her own reflection.
ReplyDeleteJen, I agree with all of the comments--too cute. You should consider writing a children's book about Sophie and Jen, you must already have half of the illustrations.
ReplyDeletetoo funny! and great sketches. love your work.
ReplyDeleteLove the story and how you captured it - wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious! You've old the story well, both with words and sketches. The title is great too.
ReplyDeleteSuch adorable drawings of your little dog. I know they can be so silly, barking at their own reflection. Seeing you now have Sophie as well as a 'night dog', you may want to send the 'night dog' my way. Such a cute bit of fluff.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post! Fantastic sketches and a lovely story.
ReplyDeleteThis made me chuckle! I love the story about her boots too!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I laughed so hard and had to show my mother, who says you're a wonderful artist by the way.
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable! Is Night Dog a potential suitor?
ReplyDeleteVery cute story, dog, and sketches. My Miniature Schnauzer barks at the mirror any time she catches a look at herself.
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled onto your website and enjoyed looking through it immensely. Lovely work! Your doggie is adorable. Love your words almost as much as your paintings. Thanks for the pleasure of seeing your work!
ReplyDeleteNow this is a children's book story if I ever saw one!The best sketches always have a good story behind them.
