Floofy Friday

I thought for today's post I would show you something a little different. 

 My Dark Side

Awhile back I was lucky enough to win a portrait done by none other than the Famous and Talented Ball Guy of The Monkeys fame. Isn't it beautiful work? We all love it so much!! It is even BETTER in person as if that were possible!

The package got stuck in US customs so long we were all about to give up when it arrived! I was not allowed to pose with my portrait because I might lay on it, paw it, or nibble it. Maybe after it's framed up. Even from a distance, I could tell it smelled like the very handsome Samson. I understand Samson sent me a little something extra in the package but until we get new camera batteries I have been shut out. I wonder what it is? Tuxie Floof?

I plan on keeping Mom's nose to the grindstone and getting some nice porch time. What do you have planned?

Oh and if you would like a Ball Guy portrait of your very own, you can go to this Etsy store themonkeys.etsy.com .

  1. Customs saw how cute it was and didn't want to give it up! Totally understandable.

  11. I won't spoil the surprise, sweet Fin, but I will say that I did my best to include as much Tuxie Floof as possible. I love the portrait too, but with such a beautiful subject, it had to be gorgeous.

    We're getting some balcony time this weekend! Enjoy your porch time!

  14. That is a beautiful portrait of you - it ought to be shown in a gallery somewhere - you could charge a fee for everyone who wanted to view your portrait and splurge on something frivolous.
