The best thing about this little story is that it's true! I was sitting in an outdoor pub in a port town along Lake Erie a few Sunday afternoons ago, listening to some live music and a woman walked up to the bar with a tiny dog in her large pink handbag. Her bicycle was parked against the railing belonging to the pub.

Sometimes on Sunday afternoons, Bella would be called to come inside

Where she would be popped into her owner's big pink bag so she was all safe and cozy

Then they would ride down to the local pub

To enjoy a few hours of live blues.

Brava, Bella.
A great anecdote, and some really cute illustrations.
Your Bella story is wonderful and your entire blog site is just as wonderful, colorful and full of fun. I liked visiting here and will be back!
Hehe...love that you were inspired by life. Very cool story and drawing!
there is a lot of interesting stuff both here and on your fine art blog. I love the colors on your digital work and the depth and space in your pencil drawings and paintings
thank you, by the way, for the very thoughtful and helpful critique on mine
Very fun illos! Really enjoyed looking at them :) I too bring my dogs out - but only for rides in my car!
darling and fun! She hangs out with a colourful crowd!!! Love this!
sweet! love those bright colors. and your style is so funny.
I'm a sucker for a good sequential. Just the right number of stops on the trip, if you ask me. Goodly number of panels for the amount of information you passed on. Cool beans.
I didn't realise you had another blog. This one is a total treat to visit!
I love the colour of your illustrations. There are so many artistic people in the world. It's wonderful.
I wish I were one of them :-D
Cuteness!
Bella-isimo! I like seeing dogs in pubs, as long as they are on the floor! Recently though, I've seen unruly dogs - on the bar! ICK!
cool story and fun illo. wonderful bright color!
GRRRREEEAAAT illos! I LOVE your style!!!!!
Really great short story with marvelous illustrations. That little dog looks completely happy and safe in that satchel.
The guy who shares office space with us has a little chi-hooa-hooa that goes everywhere with him. This reminded me of little TacoBelle.
What a character, so well delineated!
Lovely story and illustrations! My friends just adopted a little whilte chiwawa and it's the sweetest little dog I've met. I used to go to school near Lake Erie--Edinboro, Pennsylvania.
