Masterpiece Destroyed

Ernest T on My Blog - Sat, September 29 2007

Oh, the humanity... As some of you may know Mama made me a "watching stool" so I can look out the front window to see what is going on and to make sure we are not sneak attacked by Fat Squirrel and his minions. So while I'm on patrol, I use the window as a canvas for my nose art. I've spent days and weeks working on my masterpiece. It was a lovely cloud scene and then today Mama decides to spray my masterpiece with this blue stuff and wash it off. IT'S GONE, COMPLETELY. The nerve of that woman. I just gave her the mean face. Now, I'm gonna have to start all over again. Some people have no appreciation for the finer things in life. ETB

Oh, Ernest! I feel so sorry for you! Oh well, make this one so good that your ommma will NEVER want to wash it off!

With five of us, our mom has admitted defeat and leaves the 'nose art' proudly diplayed for all to see.

You're going to have to step it up a notch...go straight to advanced slobber art! That stuff doesn't come off the walls easily. It dries in beautiful stringy designs. If you're lucky you'll also get fur stuck in the slobber.

There's nothing better than dog snot art. Mom tries to sneak cleaning it off, but I hear her because the cloth makes a squeaky noise when she starts the scrub action. Naturally, not to be outdone by window cleaning, I have to bark and yarp at her to let her know that I DO NOT approve of what she's doing. But, does she care? Nope. I just wish she'd leave stuff alone.

Mom is not a dog nose art fan at all. She seeks and destroys all my nose art. It sounds like yours was beautiful.

Mom does it to us, too. She really doesn't like it on the car windows. After a trip to PA, we have an entire mosaic on the back windows....she washes them off too.

Sometimes when my artwork needs a little more detail, I use my teeth. What you do is lick the window (in my case, I prefer the sliding door), then add a little mud for perspective, an scrape away with your front teeth. I have made amazing beach scenes with this technique. This takes SEVERAL washings to remove and a soak. Mom thinks twice before tackling these.

Aw poor you!

Oh, Kirby! I never thought to add mud to the craft. I guess added fur will be my signature texture! ETB, I'm sorry about all your hard work being erased. If it makes you feel any better, mom had to get rid of my car window art after almost getting into a wreck from not being able to see out the window on a sunny morning.

wow, you all are such artists! I haven't relly dabbled into window art, but I do enjoy remodeling and renovation. For example, I added some 3d texture to the laundry room door by chewing the bottom of it, until mom just decided to remvoe the whole door! Now there is a much more open feel to the room. I'm currently working on the lighting ambience, I keep trying to unplug the living room light but mom keeps plugging it back in. Does she lack artistic vision or what?

oh chloe, you are just copying Pebbles, our foster sister. Remember her peice de resistance? When she thought the laundry room floor needed remodeling, so she at a hole through the linelonium and the concrete, knowing that they would have to replace the flooring, and when they did it would be better, and more modern? Oh yes, she was the true conceptual artist. Personally, I like to keep things simple, like rearranging rocks in a zen rock garden. Except instead of sand, I use the carpet, and instead of rocks, I use poop.

Poop? You mean you LEAVE it there?! Um...would you like some help removing it?...

Mine are all abstract in the front window and neo-slobbertarian in the car.

My Mama gave up on cleaning our front window masterpiece. Like Alvin's Mama, she leaves it up there for all the world to see. There is a down side. Now I can't see out of it so well. My lovely cloud scene has turned into a scene of air polution in LA. Mom said something about lime since most of my artwork comes from my slobber from drinking and not just my nose. Now, I want her to wash it so I can bark at all my neighborhood buds again.
