ne morning my Airedale,Brine, awakened me on timeas usual. I said “good morn-ing my little pedi-four.” That got me tothinking about constructing a paintingaround my newly uncoined expression:“pedi-four.”“Pedi-Fours Community Center”started to form in my mind’s eye completewith a dance and pot luck dinner. SweetLoretta, my oldest Airedale, is placing abasket of goodies for the dinner on thetable. Brine, is on the right of the paint-ing with his best gal, Sasha, a Pug pal of his. A PWD named Charlie is sitting onthe table in the way of other diners. Hannah, an English Cocker (to theleft of the table) moans her feelings of discontent at Charlie. Meanwhile,a black and white dog is more adamant.This image is available in a signed and numbered limited edition. Moreinformation available on my Web site Jayneshelleypierce.com.

oyta Zahir, whosename means“shining light” inSwahili, is an 11-month-oldRhodesian Ridgeback. TheRhodesian Ridgeback breedof dog was developed in SouthAfrica to assist the farmers withtheir daily chores. The Ridge-back has a fearless protectivequality, sight and sent huntingabilities and the attentive na-ture of a loyal companion. Thehair on their back grows in theopposite direction which is thehallmark of the breed.Zahir was my pick of the litter because of his greatlooks and sweet personal-ity. He keeps me on my toeswith his curious nature andendless sense of humor. WhenZahir isn’t busy checkingwhat is behind door number2, he is hunting wild game inthe backyard, and buildingcore strength balancing onhis “exer-egg” in preparationfor his show career. He lovestraining with a clicker becauseit allows him to think thingsthrough and problem solve onhis own. One of his favoritetricks is putting his toys awayin the basket.His door opening anticsrecently had him featured ina cartoon by Jim George atwww.drawthedog.com titled“Nothing to see.”Barbara FergusonSirius Fun Dog Training,Plymouth
