Charming Hand-drawn Pen and Ink French Postcard, Bird and Dog Mexican vase I am doing my best

I am doing my best to learn about things as I find them

and might be inclined to adopt a couple of actual dogs who bear their likeness

but there is a "3" carved on the underside of his tail

this nature of the carving leans more toward rustic than super refined

Charming Hand-drawn Pen and Ink French Postcard, Bird and Dog Mexican vase I am doing my bestI really love the expression on the face of the dog here a mix of resistance, annoyance, and also I think perhaps willingness to indulge this bird tugging at his collar, as if they are old friends and this happens everyday! I also love the flurry of feathers on the bird, as if managing to wet its wings in the bird bath and torment flirt with its dog friend at the same time. Perfect for framing, and a great gift for the sort of friend or family member
