Black & White Sunday - Earl's words on paper

Hi everyone Today is a very interesting day here at EW. I decided to get Earl to paw-write up some antics on paper, ale a photo and let me upload them about his day in b&w for y'all. I also took some relevant b&w photos to go with his words. A unique, one of a kind post for you. Enjoy!

(Click photos to enlarge of course, don't forget your reading glasses!!!!)

Earl really did snatch the pen today!

Oh, and by the way… please leave off if you see any spelling or grammar mistakes… Earl is only just learning English you see…

What a lot of fun in a short chapter of Earl's antics though.

Earl wants to know if he'd be any good at possibly writing a book, maybe on just what dogs do and think about their environment and people? Could be educational to those who want a dog but don't know what to expect! And now I think of it… we could use this blog's name for the title! Earl, I have a plan! Of course we would add photos - what's a fun book without some cool and entertaining photos to go alongside the text?

Now for those photos Earl promised I would upload for you…

The cable is so tempting...

The outdoor bed is actually quite comfy!

I can sneak back to my tummy vibrations if I do it bit by bit...

It really is a dog's life. Some antics! And what a day.

Now we're off to the field to romp and run and stretch those paws again after some long hard writing.

We're joining the Black And White Sunday Blog Hop hosted kindly by the partnership of Dachshund Nola and Sugar The Golden Retriever.

Sepia Saturday - Aspiring to be laundry

We're having a chill out day today as much as we can help it… So firstly, Earl decides to go and sunbathe next to the laundry basket… do you aspire to be a piece of left-out laundry when your older Earl?!

He says he has never actually considered this as a potential job option.

And then I reminded him that he is a seasoned competitive agility canine, and he remembered and got up from soaking in the sun rays.

He didn't have to do that.

You can just see the relaxation its bringing him!

We are joining Ruckus The Eskie for his Sepia Saturday Blog Hop! Thanks, pal!

The Pet Parade & Paws Up! Its Friday! - Earl in Art

Today, we are joining Rascal and Rocco and their co-hosts Jan's Funny Farm, Basil the Bionic Cat, Barking From The Bayou, and Love is being Owned by a Husky for the Pet Parade Blog Hop! We are also following our EW Friday tradition, Paws Up! Its Friday! Where we celebrate Fridays and the coming of the weekend! In today's case, LONG weekend!

I would love to parade and show off firstly, a piece of artwork I created that gained a THIRD place in the Young Kennel Club Young Artist of the Year 2014! It is of Earl, on a rocky beach, with the sea and waves gently lapping behind him, the blue skies, and a tennis ball in his mouth, in which he is playfully grasping for the camera.

On this photo, I have shown the artwork itself, plus the original photograph I was replicating in pencil.

Now, one thing I would go back and re-do or add in if I could would be to shade in Earl's shadow. I was planning on doing this at the start of the drawing, and then lamely forgot before I sent it off and away!! - Seriously though - I am not afraid to say this and think it through in my head right now, and risk the regret. What's an artist without targets and improvement to put in place for the future? I could have also make Earl look more like one paw (left, but right as you look at it on the photograph) is on the rocky hill its on.

Great, things to add to my artist's book of improvements!!

Are you a doggy artist?
Do you aspire to be one?

Looking forward to my next piece!

P.S. With all our PPP business yesterday, I forgot to show you all this, with even more pride!

Yep, that's correct! We got through all the way with posts from A…. All the way to posts to …Z!

Have a happy long weekend and Friday everybody and fur-bodies!!

(Paws Up! Its Friday! is not a hop).

Alongside the Pet Parade Blog Hop linky list, we will be showing the Pet Parade's Social Media linky list! Here you can feel free to link up one or all of your favourite social medias.

Pinch Punch Post - May 2014

Its that time again! The 1st of the Month, which means today marks the start of our 6-day Pinch Punch Post Blog Hop, hosted by us at Earl's World! and My Dog Diaries.

In this blog hop, its all about what you have done the previous month and what you plan to do in the coming month with your pet(s). Remember - every blog who links up will get a free share and recommendation of their blog if its public!

We have also had to make changes to the Pinch Punch Post badge, because sadly, My Cat Diaries has been deleted from BlogVille.

Please save the new badge to display to display for every PPP you post!
