Thanks to the “Omen” movies, Rottweiler dogs get such a bad rap.  How could you not love an adorable face like this?  I absolutely adore their smiles.  I’ve never met a nasty Rottie.  They are a good omen…

Ever since the movie the Omen came out the Rottweiler dog breed has gotten a bad rap.  To many people a general sense of anxiety accompanies the introduction to one of these beautiful canines.  Truth is that they were originally bred and used to herd livestock and pull carts.  I’ve watched in utter delight as one of our neighbor’s rotties herds children in their back yard as the kiddos squeal with glee.  Mr. Wiggle pants is no menace, however, he does bark when strangers come around.  This is normal dog behavior and you can expect this from any breed.  What a lot of people fail to realize is that these animals are not specifically more aggressive than some other breeds unless they are trained to be so.  You might be surprised to find Dalmatians in the top 10 of most dangerous dog breeds. How can that be?  Disney made them seem so adorable.  The fact is the only dog bite I have ever received was from a chihuahua.  And all chihuahuas are not bad as I’ve met plenty that were sweet little creatures.

There are many things you can do to keep any dog balanced and an upstanding citizen of your community.  I have years of experience with dogs, and am not an expert, but there are two mistakes that I have seen many people make with their companions. One is lack of proper socialization with people and other dogs.  This should start at a very early age.  Dogs should be exposed to lots of neighbors and friends of all ages/genders as a puppy and beyond (supervised of course).  And there are far too many dog owners who do not spay/neuter their animals.  This last key point is critical to keep aggressive behaviors away.  Surges in hormones and lack of sexual release creates aggression in humans too.  Lastly, no matter what type of buddy you want from a docile Golden Retriever to a Cane Corso you should always educate yourself about the specifics before ever bringing one into your home.  You should be a leader that has an understanding of the best way to train your breed of choice.  And you should actively train them.  If you need help, hire a dog behaviorist to assist.

I’ve never met a Rottweiler that I didn’t like.  I have found them to be loving and playful acquaintances.  My latest piece titled “Rottie Love” shows how majestic and noble this breed can look.  But they can also look like this. 😉

Badass?  Not really….

Working on some new pieces for my upcoming show.  My love of dogs makes painting them a natural to me.  It’s interesting as I am painting more on canvas again and scanning these…the canvas texture makes the image look a little blurry, but then I realized that I am comparing them to the ultra smooth perfect background of digital work.  See like I mentioned in a post a few days ago….it is VERY DIFFERENT!  But both are beautiful. 🙂  I hope you enjoy my dog art paintings as much as I enjoy making them.

A Note From God

The above piece is our new puppy named “Coffee”.  I love animals.  You can see it in my artwork and you can see it in my home.  I’ve always had furry or feathered companions my entire life.  Cats, dogs, birds, goats and pigs….all were my friends at some point.  Which means I’ve had to say goodbye to a lot of buddies.  Recently I lost my Great Dane Sampson.  I don’t know how the Universe works…but this message below made me cry.  Inside I’ve been struggling with Sampson’s death….I’ve felt bad wondering if I made the right decisions for him…..and it made me think of other animals that I’ve had in the past….wondering if I could have done better for them too….I loved them all very much and always did what I felt was right….I feel like they all sent this today to give me peace….

Six months ago I signed up for a service that supposedly sends email messages from the Universe.  TUT.  When I signed up, I filled in the blanks so I could get encouragement on my art business.  Accordingly all of my messages are about my work, success, perseverance in my job, people I encounter in my career. etc.  Never anything personal about pets or family.  But today I got this below.

“I just want you to know, Sharon, that those animals you’ve known, who’ve moved beyond the veils of time and space, were forever changed by your love, they’re alive and well, and they’ve banded together to ask me a favor… that I make sure you get this message.”

Bark, meow, chirp, ergle,

The Universe
