I love the fact that Zaydee made it into the feature article written by Donna Healy of the Billings Gazette! Many of you knew Shiva, the special dog who shared a precious chunk of my life with me. Shiva used to always upstage me whenever photographers showed up. A natural model and total ham for the camera, Shiva would glean the lime-light whenever it so much as glanced my direction – just look at the past articles and TV spots on my Artist Page. Zaydee is a whole other cookie. Horribly abused before being rescued by a sweet Montana couple, Zaydee showed up in my life as a bit of a basket case. She’s come a LONG way!! No longer scared of her own shadow - much less the power tools in my studio – she relaxes and hangs out with me while I work. She barks to let me know if someone is around (usually I have ear plugs in and am oblivious). Zaydee has warmed up to the camera – or at least relaxed enough that Bob Zellar from the Billings Gazette captured this photo of her napping in the mesquite sawdust. The whole article along with a short video can be viewed on the Billings Gazette website (yes – Zaydee is in the video too!!!)
