Blue Dog Blog #26. or thereabouts. (but who's counting [apparently not this annotator]).

October 16, 2022 Steve Tomasko

Some of you will already remember this, but just a genteel reminder that chronology and the Blue Dog don’t always coincide. In the Blue Dog world, July 5th can happen in October if it wants to, dammit!

I’m thinking about a nice nap after a nice croix sant…er, crow saint? Well, you know. Now, for a little art interlude..

Just a few guys hanging out. Feel free to join (tiny head not required).

If you’re curious about the pink leisure suit, ask the annotator. Or on second thought, don’t. It’s a reminiscence he’d sooner not relive.

Blue Dog Story #25 - Garden gnomes, nasturtiums and chairs. Oh my!

If you’re wondering about the gnome (and who wouldn’t?) you’ll just have to sit down with the Blue Dog sometime and ask.

Chair Sketchbook

A few offerings from the chair sketchbook. Grab a cup of coffee, tea, beer, whiskey or libation of your choice, put your feet up and r e l a x. Feel free to try any one out (click to enlarge).

Pass the maple syrup, please. That’s all for today, folks. Don’t forget to share the Blue Dog with a friend (or potential friend).

Blue Dog Story #24 - To Bee or not to Bee

April 16, 2022 Steve Tomasko

The Blue Dog wonders if you’ve heard of “No Mow May”? Well, have you? Let your lawn, and the flowering weeds (yeah, like dandelions) go wild. It will help honey bees and native bees get nectar and pollen at a critical time of the year. Check it out here: https://beecityusa.org/no-mow-may/

And once again, a little art interlude…

We’re all just hoping for and imagining a little peace…

True story (as are all the Blue Dog stories). To which the Blue Dog coughs politely. Well, yes, sometimes the truth gets stretched with a bit of poetic license.

Blue Dog Story #23 - Because it's been way too long ... 3 stories

March 6, 2022 Steve Tomasko

The Blue Dog refused to use the words “Grande” or “Venti” when ordering a rabbit. Not that he ever did. Order one that is. He saw some on Amazon once but he boycotts Amazon. Besides, he has some in the backyard.

Peace please.

Someone else is starting to look like an old geezer, the Blue Dog said with a tilt of his head toward the annotator. “I love you too,” said the annotator.

One wonders if four-legged creatures ever refer to the “driver’s side rear paw or the passenger side front paw”?

Blue Dog Story #22 - Something old and something new (and of course, something Blue).

But he couldn’t chase the red ball in the sky. He preferred the orange one on the ground.

Time for an art break….

Contest! Submit your title in the comments section below. Prize? Ummm,… the Blue Dog is thinking about it. Dog biscuit anyone?

In case you’re missing the witty comments that usually accompany the Blue Dog, the annotator is searching for his wits. “You used to be witty?” the Blue Dog asks? “I didn’t notice.”

Sigh…
