Percy the Pug -- the "grandpuppy" -- who I fell in love with this past week. We had the best time playing fetch with an old beat up, chewed up, and well loved purple monkey.
When he finally gets tired, like most other babies, he fights sleep. In a desperate attempt to stay awake he will run madly around the apartment in a figure-8 pattern -- what they call the "roast beef run" (it's a long story ...) Finally, when he can go no further, he collapses. What a cutie!(Note: Yes. He really DOES look like Yoda.)
(The technical bit: 0.1 Staedtler pigment liner in Moleskine sketch book; color added with Faber Castell Polychromos colored pencil)

haha, what a great expression on Percy, love that name! and the purple monkey is a hoot!
oh, this is adorable! I will love Percy from afar since I adore pugs. Great drawings - and I, too, love the monkey. hahahahahahaha
HOW PRECIOUS!! Your rendering of Percy is just too perfect!! LOVE IT!!! And the monkey -- what a hoot!!!! SUPER job, Linda!!!!
(and I"D LOVE a tobacco barn photo!! -- blessings, my friend!!)
OH! Your drawings of Percy are precious. I used to have a pug named Buster (nickname MonkeyBoy). You did a fantastic job capturing Percy.
Oh he's adorable and your drawings are fantastic too. I'm so glad you told us what the purple drawing was though...I thought it might be a monkey, but wasn't sure at first. :o) Our dog just loves his scruffy toys too - several chewed up toy dogs and a few elephants. When the monkey is long gone, you'll enjoy looking back at these and remembering how funny Percy was as a pup with his toys.
gorgeous, funny, delightful drawings
wow, your drawings are all so intricate. I love the story about Percy. So cute!
Sweet Percy, all your drawings are FANTASTIC but the character you've managed with 'the pug and his passion'is SO standout! Loved my trip to your blog today (as always) thanks. Sue
These are great! You have captured Percy's attitude perfectly. Marvelous sketches!
he is absolutly adorable! I love the way you did the ears and the folds in his skin!
Percy? A pug named Percy? Percy the pug with a purple pet monkey? Ok, enough. He is adorable and that monkey looks like someone got the best of him.
Linda! I just saw you over on Moleskinerie! Congrtulations!
I'm loving the drawings.
I also wanted to tell you that I picked up a copy of Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.
Your steady and consistent work has inspired me to try my own hand at drawing again.
Amazing, amazing sketches--so full of affection and verve. I love what you're doing.
These are great drwaings. I really like the style.

"He is so cute" squealed Miss A. These are great. The monkey if so cute and you can tell that Percy is not the least bit spoiled.
