rhodesian ridgeback
Life drawing with a handicap tonight. Tim (hi Tim) was babysitting a Rhodesian Ridgeback (hi Ash). At least he said it was a Rhodesian Ridgeback, only it was very obviously a mix of a Rhodesian Ridgeback and something enormous. And the poor puppy itself thought she was a lapdog, so sweet. She just sat down on top of every human being she could find. She chewed a corner off my sketch book. And put her head on my drawing in the middle of the long pose. Maybe I could have turned it into a water colour, but I only had pencils with me. Pencils and saliva don't really mix. Not even with Rhodesian Ridgebacks.

Posted by: eliane at March 1, 2007 07:51 AMOh those are such nice dogs. They are actually quite big - they grow up to be somewhat like an alsatian/german shepherd in size. They are very friendly though and will continue sitting on top of everyone even when fully grown. I can imagine she upset your drawing somewhat :)

Dat is geen uithaal, dat is de andere bil! Ik geef toe... And Ash, I see lots of Rhodesian Ridgebacks in Toronto, I think they're fashionable. But this one was really a lot bigger! (Are they really from Zimbabwe?)
