Chris the Dog.

This dog belongs to  DeadSquirrel. I did a picture awhile back of two other DeadSquirrel characters, and I wanted to just do all of those three at the time, but there was no room in the theme for Chris. Chris is so excited to have her picture painted that she is sitting on her hands, so as not to move, and is wiggling her tailtip. This is not because she is neglected at home; DeadSquirrel draws her a lot. She is just an attention-hound to the max. Great character, Dead.

By the way, because as I understand it she is some kind of Golden Retriever mix, and I use references for everything, I wanted another breed to combine Golden references with. Due to her eye color, coat color, her choppy tail texture (not shown in this pic) and that cowlick, I chose Chesapeake Bay Retrievers as my other reference breed.
