THANK YOU!!! Or: Sometimes Lunch Alone Is Lame. Until A Total Stranger Orders you Dessert.

To the dear soul who saw me sitting alone at lunch yesterday, and ordered me dessert. You = amazing! 

It inspired me. Or maybe that was the sugar. Hard to tell sometimes. But I don't want to miss another chance to thank everyone out there who has supported this little project called 4 Dog Arts. ​

And I know this blog is usually about sketches of horses and velociraptors and other awesome stuff. We will get right back to that after I'm done thanking you for all the sweet projects you've supported over the years.

Thank You For supporting The Books!

If anybody ever tells you that you don't need any more books, you laugh at them. Hard. Because books are amazing. And if anybody says you're not good enough to illustrate or write a book, you just ignore them and dive right in. And then tell us about your book, because we LOVE independent artists and authors around here. 

If you are a teacher or museum, we have special deals. If you cannot afford something you need or would really like to have, send Jessica a note and let's see if we can handle your order another way. We have sent books to every continent except Antarctica. Hook us up, Antarctica!

Thank You For Supporting Homeless Animals!

​You know how sometimes we all need a helping hand? It's kind of like that. We all know vet bills are costly, and who wants to stay in a 'hospital' when you can be comfy at home in your own bed, right? So whether it's as simple as needing a place for kitty to crash while you move to your new apartment or a dog is dumped on the highway, we do our best around here. No questions asked. 

It wouldn't be possible without all the outstanding people who lend their talents, tokens, and sometimes, trailers, at all odd hours.

It gets a little crazy here sometimes, but its never dull. Maybe someday North Dakota will have a wildlife bird sanctuary... until then, thank you is too small a word. 

PS: We're not hitting you up for any money here. If you're motivated, please give to your local shelter. It's the best way to help animals in your area. It's some of the best gifts you can give.

Thank You For Supporting Loans That Change Lives!

It was our amazing partners in Ghana that put us onto KIVA, and if you haven't had the chance to change somebody's life with $25, then I can only say you're missing out. Some of the funds we can loan come from book sales. Some are our own tokens. All come from the heart.

Thank You For A Random Act of Kindness!

A kind word and a picture is priceless! Go make someone laugh. Or volunteer at your local museum. It doesn't cost a thing and the payoff is huge. 

I'm off to make some dessert for my colleagues who don't get enough thank yous. 

And you're amazing!
