In the movie “Up” there is a great dog character named Doug. I love this dog. . .he is talking away and then abruptly stops, swings his head to the side and goes “squirrel!” Then he returns to the conversation without skipping a beat. I think this is the way my artist mind works. . .so much to notice, so much to ponder. . .so many squirrels!
