Jose Leiderhosen - Daschund-Chihuahua mix original painting
10" x10" acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas
Jose is another rescued dog by Dr. Suzanne Thomas from my local animal emergency clinic.
Here is what she told me about Jose, " He arrived last September at the clinic paralyzed (from a herniated disk in his lumbar spine). His owner loved him a lot but didn't have any means to pay for the surgery he needed so he could walk again.
I always told myself I could never afford to rescue a dog who needed back surgery (because it's too expensive) but this guy tugged at all our heartstrings.. he was only 2 1/2 and it seemed like he really had more living to do. His owner was torn with the idea of relinquishment initially (vs euthanasia) but ultimately decided to sign him over.
Later that night after I was off work she brought him in his bed and toys and a note for me saying she was grateful and knew she had made the right decision. He had his surgery and now he can't be stopped!! He loves to run in circles (always to the right).. He really cracks us up...chock full of personality!
Originally he was named Jake, but the girls at work call him 'Jose Leiderhosen' -for his mexican-german heritage"

Kipper - Pekachu ( Pekingnese-Chihuahua mix) 10" x 10" acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas
Kipper is a year and a half old Pekachu (Pekingnese-Chihuahua mix). He was brought into the animal emergency clinic where Dr. Suzanne Thomas works.
Here's what Suzanne wrote about Kipper: " He had been run over by a Ford F-150 truck. Then the driver of the truck put it in reverse and ran over him again! (not on purpose, they didn't know what they had hit apparently).. He had 5 broken ribs, pelvic fractures, internal bleeding and a tear in his diaphragm.
His owners paid for the first day in the hospital but when they found out he needed surgery to fix his diaphragm they were out of money. They asked me if there were any options for rescue because he was such a good dog they didn't want to have to put him to sleep.. I looked into his big brown eyes and melted. So they signed him over to me and I paid for his surgery and the next 2 days in the hospital and brought him home.
Normally I find a good home for the few pets a year that I rescue.. But this guy is awesome and fitting right in! He is a great lap warmer/snuggler.. and a great protector (barking when he sees someone outside the house or car. even barking at the snowflakes today!).. very mellow/laid back overall..and good with all the other critters I have around here!"

Cookie (Bulldog) 10" x 10" acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas
Cookie's legacy lives on:
"I was working at the SPCA when Cookie came in. She was 7 and a half. Nearly deaf and blind from untreated medical issues. Her teats dragged the ground from countless litters. She was Heartworm Positive. She had every parasite imaginable. Her owner surrendered when she was finished making puppie$.
I fell
in love with her instantly. I saw her through HW treatment, and brought her
home to be part of our family. We had 9 wonderful months with her before the
damage from her past caught up with her. She crossed the bridge on Christmas Eve
2007.
In her memory I began to rescue English Bulldogs. I have now rescued, rehabilitated and rehomed over a dozen of them in a year.
Her legacy will affect every Bulldog I will ever meet. I see her in all of them."

Noisy Dog Studio features contemporary dog paintings by artist Leigh Jackson.
Yes , I am a crazy dog lady. I live on 2 1/2 acres in Gig Harbor, Washington with my husband and our adopted 6 dogs and 4 cats. They are all the loves of my life and my inspiration.
P.S. To the offense of my 4 lovely cats, I don't paint cats. For some reason they always look grumpy when I paint them. And no one wants a grumpy cat painting.
