Deck the halls with bow-wows of Collies
Fa la la la la, la la la la
You'll be entertained by their follies
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Now for the Labrador Retrievers
Fa la la la la la, la la la
As for Santa, they're all believers
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Yellow labs join in the chorus
Fa la la la la, la la la la
'Specially the small pup named Doris
Fa la la la, la la la la
Santa's coming, we're so excited!
Fa la la la la la, la la la
We think his reindeers have been sighted!
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Time to get to bed and snuggle up,
Fa la la la la, la la la la
It will be hard for excited pups
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Santa's here, pups are soundly sleeping
Fa la la la la la, la la la
Toys delivered with no one peeping
Fa la la la la,
la la laaa laaaaaaa!!
"Stocking Stuffing... Dogs"
(watercolour, approx 5" x 7")
I would typically choose Rough Coat Collies for a dog illustration
- I have a real soft spot for them after having one for 14 years -
but I chose to depict yellow labs in honour of my friends
getting a new li'l puppy which they have named Molly.
Within a day or two of getting the news of Molly, our other friends
announced that they would be getting a German Shepherd pup,
which they were naming Blu, that is why the pup in the illustration
is wearing a beautiful blue collar like the one Blu wears!
So this illustration celebrates new puppies and the excitement
associated with them and the holidays!
Hoping your holidays are filled with just
the right amount of excitement for you!
