Smitty enjoyed his summer days with Sarah. When it was hot, she would turn on the fan, and Smitty would sit directly in front of it. He loved feeling the air blow through his fur.
Smitty also loved feeling the wind in his fur when he went for a ride in the back of Sarah’s pickup truck. He’d leap into the back so powerfully that Sarah would gasp in worry!
Sometimes, Sarah would throw a frisbee, and Smitty would catch it mid-air! He never, ever missed!
Sarah gave Smitty a big chewy bone every day.
Smitty would chew the bone for a while, then sneak away and bury it to save it for later.
One day, when they were walking, Sarah found Smitty’s boneyard. She couldn’t believe it! “Oh, Smitty,” she cried. “You are a silly, silly boy!” Smitty pressed against her leg, his tongue out in a blep.
Every morning, Smitty and Sarah did their stretches. Sometimes, Crouton came over to peek in the window.
I’ve sure been having fun with this project! How are your dog days of August going?
Smitty is certainly having a great time.
Thank you, Polly! ❤️
Smitty & Sarah look like they’re having a lot of fun 😊 Wonderful drawings Michelle & would definitely translate well to a picture book. You’re so creative!
You’re so kind to say that, Rae! Thank you so much!
That Chew prompt turned out amazing. What a difficult pose to draw. I am amazed.
It does read like a little picture book. How fun that would be.
Crouton is a great name.
Thank you so much, Tobia! My dog posed for me, and I took a photo, so I had a drawing reference.
Yes to the book idea!! These have been so much fun to follow along. ❤️
Thank you, Kari! 😊
I agree with everyone else – this should be a book. Smitty’s such a happy guy!
Thank you so much, Engie! I appreciate that! 😊
Smitty reminds me of Rex! Especially the lean and the stretching and the jumping into the vehicle. Aww. I love this so much, and I feel like this should be a book!
Thank you so much, Nicole! Maybe I’ll make a book through LuLu or Amazon, just for fun!
Nice story. I could see a book in your future.
Thank you so much, Judy! Maybe I’ll make a book through LuLu or Amazon, just for fun!
Hi Michelle! Your Smitty Dog days have me smiling from ear to ear!!! I Love them all! The fan…. the bone yard…!… the stretch….!!!:):) and the others too! Wow, Smitty is obviously very lucky and very happy! I think it is great that you are joining the prompts into a story sequence. Well done! I look forward to seeing more! (No pressure! :):):))
Hi Betsy! Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so happy that you’re enjoying the story!
My dog days of summer are not as fun as Smitty’s! Such a cute, cute story here.
Thank you so much, Ally! Mine aren’t as fun as Smitty’s either! 🤣
