This is for a dear friend of mine Mandi Blais aka (Blankfrancine)who has been with me since the very start of my postings here. Mandi has always been kind and supportive to me when I really needed it, as well as being a inspiration through her creative work. Check of it out at www.mandisdreamtime.org
Bronco's Bath Day: My nieces were helping me give little Peppie a bath this weekend when I told them about how their Mom & I used to have our hands full trying to bathe a dog we had when we were little named Bronco. He was sort of a mut but very loveable except for when it came time to give him a bath. I told my 3 nieces how I would get in the little pool and tug on his leash while Veronica would push as hard as she could constantly asking me if he was in the water yet. LOL
Of course our Mom would look on laughing up a storm. After all helping us would have ruined her fun apparently. Well this is my attempt to try to bring that memory to life for my nieces and pay tribute to a dear friend at the same time. Hope your not tired of my silly childhood stories. Thanks so much and hope for smiles :)

What a great picture! I had a huskie much like this once...she did not like water at all! Found the best way was to put her on a leash, take her down to the lake, force her to swim out far enough to get good and wet and wash and rinse her there. (for you environmentalists, I used soap that was completely safe for the environmentand biodegradable). Of course then we had to stay at the lake long enough for her to completely dry and she had to remain on the leash lest she find some old dead fish to roll on, LOL!

Excellent!! I love the Norman Rockwell gentleness of the humor. The strong diagonal makes for great composition. The attention to detail is without question brilliant. (^_^)

Excellent details and it does tell a story. Beagles hate water, lol

one of my dogs will run and hide with only the hose going to give fresh water, and the other one will stay right at my feet. I suppose she thinks I will not wet her if she is so close.excellent memory and illustration.your nieces should be able to grasp your memory like if they were actually there

Wonderful scene - so typical for doggie bathtime!~

I know what dogs can be like when they don't want to do something. This is very much in their manner. I remember my sister trying to push Belle (our family Lab) into the house one afternoon. Belle didn't want to go inside because she hated being in any large building - especially if it was the vet's office. Her stance was much like this poor fellow. I remember my sister being equally aggravated by Belle's resistance. On the subject of baths though, Belle (and her successors) loved to be in the water - even when we'd bath them. She was always jumping into my wading pool on hot summer afternoons. Or any natural body of water she would come upon. Labs are bird dogs after all, excellent swimmers and they even have webbed toes.

Lol great work it does make me laugh when dogs willing go swimming in lakes sea or puddles but as soon as it comes to bath time they would rather run a mile lol.

Fun image! Cute scene! Funny how some dogs are. We used to have a mixed breed dog that was part of 2 kinds of water dogs that would not go into the lake for any reason! Another great image!

A lovely and funny composition, Dave ! It reminds of a French saying that reads:'it's no use taking a horse to a fountain when he is not thirsty!'but the case of Bronco is a bit different, though quite something to solve! Excellent Poser artwork, my friend. A well-deserved dedi to Mandi, a friend and creative artist.

Excellent expressions! Poor Bronco!
