Bactrian Beagle, acrylic on panel by Paul Zdepski
My dog, or I should say, my son Niki’s dog Tillie seems to never drink as much water as I think she should. In the summertime, I fill the shepherds larger water dish three or four times, while Tillie’s little puppy-sized dish is barely been sniffed. This dog seems to go against everything I know about dogs, such as loyalty, intelligence and water habits… she has none of it. I keep feeding her in hope that things may change. Bactrian Beagle sounds better than Non-Drinking Doggie Dromedary, which she is… Oh, I didn’t mention that if I walk around the house, and come back from the other side, she doesn’t know who I am and starts barking and growling with her fur on end? What an idiot.
