Last Hours for Bidding!



That's right, the week has flown by incredibly fast, and you've only got a few hours left to place your last bids on the painting! Remember everyone, all the net proceeds go to the no-kill Coquitlam Animal Shelter. We want the shelter animals to have a better Christmas.

As I type this now (actually it's my human typing, as I find it rather hard to type with my own paws) the highest bid is at $61.00, and there are 9 hours left. If anyone wants to place anymore bids, go HERE.

If you haven't already seen the video of me working on the painting, scroll down to the next post, you can see it all there!



Now some of you might be wondering what I've been up to this week while people and dogs are bidding... Well, I've been playing in the snow! That's right, it started snowing just hours after the painting went up for auction. I was so excited to see the snow... Did you guys know I'm a Husky? I just seem to be clothed like some sort of Poodle, but in the winter I'm pretty sure I'm a Husky.

My human gave me a new paint brush, here I am posing with it in the snow.



Now guess what happened yesterday? It was very sad... The temperatures of -5 (Celsius) went up to +10 with buckets of rain, and all my snow melted within hours! I thought this was supposed to be winter?! Last year we had a White Christmas... I was rather hoping for another this year... Maybe it will snow again soon...

My human Lizzy found us some yellow rain coats so that we cold go for a walk and stay dry. But we didn't stay dry. I tell ya, nothing stays dry at this time of year in Vancouver!



I hope you all have a GRRRReat day, thank you so much for helping us out with the painting for the shelter animals!

Oh, my blog is currently under construction, so if you notice colors changing every time you refresh the page, you'll know why!

Painting for the Shelter Animals

Hello everyone, I'm baaaack! And guess what I did this week? I painted a picture!

Remember last year, when I painted a picture which sold for 100 USD, and I donated all the money to help the Australian animals that were caught and injured by the bushfires? You can read all about that HERE.

Well, this year I am painting for the Coquitlam Animal Shelter. It's a no-kill animal shelter for stray cats and dogs and other critters that live in our city. Here's a link to the shelter website, here.
We want to raise money for the animal shelter so that the animals can have a better Christmas this year!


My human did not take many photos this year of me in the progress of the painting... But, we did get it on video! Please watch this video that my human Lizzy made!


So, are you guys ready to start bidding?! GO HERE! Bidding starts at $0.99!

Duuude, I am so excited about this!
I would be so happy if all of my blogging pals could help spread the word of this painting around.
Oh, and for those of you who are not able to bid on the painting, but would still like to help... There are some Google adds on the side of my blog... For each click on one of the adds, we receive a few cents. Every single cent will be used to help the shelter animals around the world!


Here is a photo of the finished painting...


And another photo of me sitting beside my painting!


Hehe, I think I'm going to have to make this a yearly tradition, painting to help our animal friends in need!
Thank you all SO much for your help! I hope everydog, cat, human, and whoever/whatever else is reading this, will have a GRRRReat day!
