We had a blast last weekend at the Montpelier Sheepdog Trials and Fall Fiber Festival, with a LOT of adorable border collies running after the sheep - some did better than others, but all of them seemed to be happy to be doing what they do best.
We had a chance to visit with quite a few people there, that were quite smitten with this little guy:
Get Your Hound “Cutified”!
We had him hanging right by the entrance to smile at people coming into the Sheep Incognito booth - it brought out “ooohs” and “aaahs”, alongside a lot of smiling faces (Pro Tip for artists: ALWAYS hang your best, friendliest, biggest eye-catcher up front, so people will be drawn into your booth).
So now there are a few new dogs heading to my easel for the “cutification process” (aka: their custom pet painting I will be creating)…stay tuned for in progress pictures, and possibly a video or two…
For those of you that have never been to a festival of that nature, here are a few pictures:
