Ruth Borchard Self Portrait competition 2013

Last Thursday evening I accompanied the folks to the opening of the Ruth Borchard Self Portrait competition at Kings Place, London. Both Mummy and Daddy have a piece each in the exhibition   - Mummy has a print and Daddy has a drawing. It was very very busy and I got a lot of fuss. I even got to have a wash in the posh toilets as I had rolled in something really smelly and Mummy felt embarrassed to have such a stinky pup! I also met a lovely lady called Ilaria who also has a painting in the exhibition - she also has a blog-  http://ilardt.blogspot.co.uk - and she mentioned meeting me in her blog which was fantastic as I've had a lot more people having a look at what I'm up to! Thanks Ilaria !

Looking at Mummy's print - it's a portrait of her as a Fennec Fox - I think it looks like her!

Here's Daddy's portrait of himself in his mirror - he looks quite stern! 

Too much art and too many people leave me a tired pup :)

It's been a busy week

I am 'cream krackered' as Mummy says. I've had so many walks this week I'm sure my legs have got shorter : ) I've met so many lovely new doggie chums - and a few not so nice ones - one yesterday frightened me so much that I did a little wee :( He won't scare me though as I have a VERY LOUD bark (sorry Mummy and Daddy )

Lurcher ? No problem :)

I even made this one lie down !! 

I'm very happy being the centre of attention!

Spot the small brown dog ! 

Respecting my elders!

  

Missing our neighbour Jo

Mummy and me are a little sad as our lovely friend and neighbour Jo has gone to live in Kenya :(  We know she will be very happy but we already miss her heaps. Sending lots of love from Karen House X

Hello Jo !

Monday Madness

Mummy says I'm just too darn cute but just to prove her wrong here's some pics of me looking slightly mad and just a touch deranged :) 

Fun with the stick at Auntie Helen's house 

Raaaaaa!!!!  I WILL GET STICK 

Grrrrr Mummy drank all the beer !!

This is what I thought to the Affordable Art fair 

Too much art for little me

Yesterday I accompanied Mummy and Daddy to the Affordable Art Fair in Hampstead as Mummy was showing some of her paintings. I didn't stay awake for long as I didn't really like anything ( apart from Mummy's of course :) It was far nicer to snooze in my bag then go for a run in the park afterwards !!

Some of Mummy's paintings

Snoozing it all off 

Really quite bored now 

Much happier in the park !

Visit to Daddy's Gallery

So Tuesday evening is handover day, when Mummy gives me to Daddy to look after while she teaches. This week they handed me over at a private view at Daddy's Gallery ( where he shows his paintings :)  I saw lots of wonderful works of art but my favourite was this Gwen John painting as the lady is very pretty. I was super tired at the end though, and crumpled into a heap in Daddy's arms.

Looking at a very pretty Gwen John painting

And a Degas drawing:)

I'm art-ed out!

Weekend at Grandma and Grandad's

Last weekend we all went back to Grandma and Grandad's to look after Coco whilst they went away. As I hadn't seem her for over 3 weeks it was important to play all the time and bite her ears and be a general nuisance : )

Ready to go WALKIES !

You want us to drive !??

Snoozing it all off

Trip to Kings Place

Mummy and Daddy both have had a piece of work accepted into the Ruth Borchard Self Portrait competition at Kings Place that opens next week. Here I am helping Mummy deliver their work.

While we were there we also had a quick look at the Marcelle Hanselaar exhibition that is currently on display. Mummy spent a long time looking at her prints as she said they are technically 'quite interesting'. I think I prefer Paula Rego though. 

Still loving the park

we have lift off !

 

Visit to the Royal Academy and to the Calder exhibition

 Both Daddy and Mummy both got rejected from the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition this year. So to cheer Daddy up I came along with him to pick up his rejected paintings. While we were there we also checked out the Calder exhibition at Pace London. I definitely prefer his mobiles to his paintings!

In the bag and in the jumper

Daddy bought me a new jumper - I'm not sure about it. And I'm not sure at all about being carried in a bag - what's all that about?!

Sunbathing

I just LOVE the sun. 

First walk in the park!!

Thankfully I have now had all my injections and I can escape the flat ! Here I am on my first outing to Mummy's park. It's lots of fun and there are lots of nice dogs to sniff. I maybe small but I'm not scared! 

My first holiday

Luckily for me I was recently taken on my first holiday - we went to stay with Grandma and Grandad who were  renting a cottage in Somerset. I had the best time because I got to play and fight with my new best friend - Coco ( Grandma and Grandad's dog). She's very pretty and I hope I'm as well behaved as her when I get bigger.

Flurry white rug R.I.P

Daddy took these pictures of me before Mummy took away the rug which was very upsetting as I enjoyed eating it and weeing on it. 

In the blossom

Mummy's friend has a lovely garden which Mummy is very jealous of. Luckily I can go and play amongst the blossom and practice going for a poo outside ( sorry Pip )
