Ink Drawing of a Mugz, Yellow Labrador Retriever
This is a tribute to Mugz the Wonder Dog, who died a few months ago, just shy of his 16 years.
This hardy labrador retreiver emigrated all the way from South Africa when he was just a wee thing. Some say that he would be ancient, almost unheard of however I think his strength and vitality is testament to his hardy South African line.
Mugz had four passions. His people, squeaky toys, tennis balls... and water!
I met Mugz a few years ago. Mugz was always full of vim and vigour, a gentle soul always happy to meet you, yet he became a dog with jaws of steel with any ball or squeaky toy.
Although Mugz had arthritis, typical of a dog of his age, it rarely slowed him down. He could almost outrun you at the beach, to claim any toy in sight as his own. Onlookers would shout "Watch out, here comes Mugz!"
Mugz, we all love you and dearly miss you.

This is Mugzie, and I really mean THIS IS MUGZIE, Nina managed to bring him to life, this is how anyone who knows him remembers him - bright, happy, soaking wet, never without a toy and ready to rumble! Now he sits, pride of place in my house, watching over us....the pastels, the colour, it all works and it really is him. I miss him madly, but this painting always cheers me up - a big bright stream of sunshine! Thanks Nina!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful work of art! Without even meeting Mugz, evrybody can clearly see that Mugz is a sweet, friendly, and most of all, a happy dog. When I see this drawing, i think of the great people who love and adore their kanine compainions. This is obviously one dog who lived life to the absolute fullest, and enjoyed every second. Thank you so much, this picture makes me fell cheerful!
