Harriet Lowther Art and her book Tell Your Dog I Love Them!

Quick Update: Harriet Lowther, the artist, has a dog book out. This is wildly important, especially if you need an antidote for whatever ails you. Unless you're a cat person, in which case check out the cat book to your immediate right. 

I'm very much a dog person. Currently, I have three part-time dogs. This is a great gig if you can get it. All you have to do is offer to take someone else's dogs for them whenever they are away, or whenever they are in desperate need of a break from them. Like when one of them eats one of the gold earrings they got for Christmas and has to go to the vet to have vomiting induced, but the only thing that comes out is deceased spiders. 

Guilty Spider-Eater

Harriet Lowther's art is delightful. She has the ability to capture the soul of a dog. I didn't see any big-eared spider-eater dogs in her art but I did find one dog painting that is the very essence of another of my part-time dogs. 

Masterpiece by Harriet Lowther

If you knew this next dog, you'd see that her very essence has been captured by Harriet.

Vixen claims not to see the resemblance.
Barely misses her soul. 

Everyone else sees the resemblance. Disclaimer: Vixen is actually the best dog on earth. Unless, of course, she passes another dog when going for a walk. In which case she morphs into a soulless murderess enchanting all other dogs in earshot to kill the beast. But everyone needs a hobby.

If you pick up a copy of Tell Your Dog I Love Them on Harriet Lowther's website, you can score an autographed copy. I ordered a couple dog paintings and a small pile of books to gift to some dog lover people I just had to share with. The thoughtful little details in the package that arrived were absolutely endearing. Check it out!
