Huge Update: we have some DNA results! One of Fin’s littermates got her DNA profile back today and it’s as expected: predominately ACD. But we’ve also got some other interesting breeds in there too. #australiancattledog #fosterdog #dogsofbluesky
DNA results for Fin’s sibling, Bluey. Australian Cattle Dog comes in at 52%. At 18% we have Rat Terrier. Pomeranian comes in at 12%. And Russel-type Terrier is at 9%. Finally the results suggest just under 8% of the makeup is “Supermutt.”

Today we welcomed a new foster: Muffin (Fin). Fin and his littermates were found abandoned in a crate on the road and in need of emergency foster care. While still very nervous, he’s slowly getting the hang of things. #fosterdog #dogsofbluesky #australiancattledog

A few of my early watercolors of sports memes. Details in alt text #artshare #watercolor #art
Watercolor rendition of sports writer Ryan Nanni dressed as the Bloomin’ Onion mascot at the 2018 Outback Bowl. Ryan is in a red leotard surrounded by facsimile fried onion petals and a hat meant to be a sauce cup. He’s clenching both fists and shouting in exhilaration. Watercolor still of former Indiana basketball coach Bob Knight throwing the infamous and vividly red chair onto the court in the middle of the game. Watercolor still of former Ohio State head football coach Urban Meyer eating a personal sized Papa John’s pizza in Lucas Oil Stadium after losing the Big 10 championship game to Michigan State in 2013. He’s seated on a golf cart with a slice in his hand while wearing a red OSU jacket and a look of total despair. This one was one of my first paintings.
