Late last year Gadora sent a lil Burger love to John and Sherry at Young House Love, in the form of an Animal Print. Today Gadora has teamed up with the dwelling darlings for their very fabulous (and über popular) … Continue reading →

Like a million travelers, Gadora spent time in an airport vortex this holiday. On a flight home from Chicago, leafing through a SkyMall mag, I giggled at the ridiculous gadgets one might procure… some requiring more cents than sense, but I digress. The Wisdom Panel DNA testing kit reminded me that I’d not yet posted Riley’s Animal Print.

Riley.

One of the best parts of these many Animal Prints is getting to know Gadora’s subjects… “Riley is a lovable mixed-breed who is a little over 1.5 years old and has a ton of personality.  If it helps, we have gotten a DNA test, and these are the results:

  • Beagle 37-74% (explains the barking/jumping/general craziness)
  • Maltese 20-36% (explains the biting/guarding/curly white hair)
  • Borzoi 10-19% (shape and size)
  • Poodle 10-19% (black hair)…”

Doesn’t take a DNA test to know Riley is one cute pooch!

Daisy’s Animal Print request came in from New York City. Cute Pooch. Gadora asked her adoptive Mom, Emily, for a few words…”Daisy is a rescue dog, found wandering in the rain a few years ago. We don’t know her breed, but like to think that she is made up of lots of love…” Awwww.

Here’s a close-up of her finished whiskers.

Folks, today was a BIG day. I’ve always been fond of Hump Day. I’m still panting. Received an email on Monday that one of my Animal Prints made it into the magical hands of an Editor at DailyCandy and they LOVED it. They were fact-checking. Gadora knew to get ready.

Above is a snippet, and here is the IN DOG WE TRUST story… (< click it!) Needless to say when I awoke (über early with anticipation), I headed straight to my inbox. And there they were. YOUR pet pictures.

Chihuahuas. Labradors. Labradoodles. A Vizsla. A Wheaten. A dearly-missed Whippet. Could I paint a horse? Half-breeds. Mutts. Calico Cats. Etc. Etc. Etc. And along with each precious email came an even better story. Gadora had immeasurable fun today talking with you about your pride in your pets. Next, I’m off to paint them…

DC, you ARE Top Dog. The Cat’s pajamas. The Bee’s knees. And quite possibly the Clam’s garters.  And I thank you.

Trellis and Bogey

Trellis and Bogey are a pair of fuzzy white pups with jolly doggie grins and ever-wagging tails. Gadora never did see them when they weren’t simply elated to see her. Travelin’ dogs, they’ve pranced the streets of an East Coast metropolis and carelessly strolled the sandy shores along the Gulf Coast. It’s a warm human lap they call home.

Miss Trellis never met a snack she didn’t like. In fact, she makes meals out of the un-ordinary. This hungry poodle once landed herself in the doggie infirmary for gobbling down some chewing gum. She scared us all ~ silly. Pop!

Bogey’s a natural born squirrel hunter and expert pillow warmer. Perhaps, Gadora has never met a more snugglin’ Maltese. He’s burrowed beside her in the bed, making his nest, and grabs his dreams like the best of us.
