Photo of my dog Sammy.

Sammy

Sammy was our first dog and the only one we’ve ever had from a puppy. He was obsessed with squirrels, cats and tennis balls (and was looking at one when this photo was taken).
I have sketchbooks filled with drawings of Sammy and Maddie (below) that I did from life.

Maddie

Maddie trained me to give her a cookie before she would come back in the house after a walk and carry her (all 80lbs) up and down the stairs at bedtime.
She spent a summer visiting with Alzheimer's patients at Sunrise Assisted Living in Reston and was always happy just to hang out with people.
