Our friend John is celebrating the 4th of July in style. I mean, does it get any better than fireworks and lemonade? It may or may not be hard. John has secrets. And those secrets are none of your business.
In all seriousness, please be kind to your pups today.

Bella is super duper smart. Her mom and dad taught her how to play dead and then get resuscitated on command. Super cool, right?
I spent the weekend listening to some Yacht Rock Radio, so I'm imagining that Bella is sipping a Piña Colada and dreaming about getting caught in the rain.

We met our new friend Scooby here on Bluesky and think he's the bee's knees. We're not sure what breed he is but, if we had to guess, we'd say Arctic Fox.

This is Hedy, named after Hollywood legend and inventor Hedy Lamarr.
At the beginning of World War II, Hedy (the human, not the dog) co-invented a radio guidance system for allied torpedoes that used frequency hopping technology to prevent radio jamming.

Oakley's mom says that when he's not busy nailing his jumps in Agility class, he enjoys ice cream and cool whip. His dog-friendly cone is so delicious that he's rocking his side eye to make sure that no one tries to steal it from him.

Our sweet friend Cocoa would like to remind everyone the importance of staying hydrated this summer.
A good rule of thumb for pets is to offer approximately 1 oz. of water per pound of body weight daily. Stainless steel and ceramic bowls are easier to clean and less likely to harbor bacteria.

Tug is 12 years old and his dad passed away unexpectedly, but he was fortunate enough to land with a mom and dad who will make sure he never wants for anything.
Word is that he used to enjoy a sip of his dad's beer sometimes, so we think he's enjoying a Lemon Shandy from Thirsty Dog Brewing Co.

Yesterday was busy with dog class and the No Kings rally, so I didn't get a chance to post my daily portrait.
This is Ivy. Her best friend is her human brother Bentley. Word on the street is that they have matching pajamas. She's drinking a kale protein smoothie.

I'm trying out a thing. I'm doing FREE drawings of dogs with what I imagine they would drink. No catch. I'll draw your dog for free. I just ask that you pay it forward somehow with a nice animal-related gesture. Send me a photo and your dog's name. I'll do the rest.

FREE pet portraits??? What on earth is up with that?
I know, right? Maybe I'm crazy! Maybe I'm a glutton for punishment. Or maybe I just want to see our feeds filled with cute things while also having an outlet for my rage at all the garbage that's happening around us right now.
Want one?

Hey, I'm drawing dogs with drinks for free! If you would like me to draw your dog, send me a photo — one where they are looking at me so I can see their face — and include their name. In return, I ask that you pay it forward to an animal organization. Just be nice and fill the world with kindness.
