Joy,

We awaken to good news that Roxy was chosen of Dog of the Day for Dog Each Day! How exciting. Larry Merrill did a wonderful portrait of her. The whole house is wagging its tails with glee!

Roxy was recently adopted to help get Chloe (our other dog) over her developing phobia of dogs. She turns 2 in August 2006. She is an extreme extrovert. She loves everyone and everything. She was given to a rescue because her owners moved out of the country. She was obviously loved, but not house trained or obedience trained. She demands attention and is very jealous. Her tail is wagging at all times! Roxy is unconditional love: When you meet Roxy, she already loves you. – Gale

Larry’s comments:

I like that sly little grin she has thanks for sharing, Gale.

I challenged myself with this piece – completely in white pens and markers. I experimented and found that the gel pen worked great when you first go over an area with the white marker. Since the marker is not as opaque as the pen, this also helped with the illusion of depth in all that white fur.
