Nurse Pugs

Last week I had a slight cold that I thought I recovered from by the end of the week.  But then on Saturday I had a bit of a cough.  I was scheduled to do a long run that Saturday and I didn't want to miss it so stupid me  did it and now I am miserably sick.  I ended up having to stay home from work and I sound terrible.  Luckily my nurse pugs are taking good care of me.  They really do help me feel better, except when I'm feeling hot and feverish.  Then their warm bodies feel uncomfortably hot as they lay next to me or drape themselves over my lap!

I almost didn't post this because my pen slowly dying on me plus my inability to draw a steady line while sick made for some shaky lines.  It also didn't help that Rosy licked my sketchbook, not once but twice!  I don't know why she thought she'd taste my sketchbook since I can't imagine pencils and pens taste any good.  Anyways, I decided to go ahead and post it after cleaning it up a bit, because it accurately reflects how I feel when sick, both in the drawings and in the way it was executed.

  5. Been down with the flu and the pugs. Funny, the worse I feel the more they want to cuddle or lie on top of me! You have nailed pug life perfectly. Deeber, Daisy and Dolly my 3 pug children! Thanks for loving pugs and sharing your love and art for the best friends a person could ever have!
