I have always been an artist, but never really had a muse. My inspiration came late last year when a little puppy entered my life. Lori had just come home with Moki, a black lab/golden retriever mix from Canine Companions for Independence. Lori was volunteering her time, her home and her pocketbook (not to mention countless socks) to raise Moki to be a helper dog for someone in need.
In the past 15 months, Moki has gone from tiny little puppy with skunk breath to a beautiful black dog with equally stinky breath. Moki is smart, silly, goofy, ornery, stubborn, but most of all, loving. She'll do anything you ask, as long as you have a treat. She enjoys going to school each day with Lori, loves running on the beach and digging in the sand, and still can't get enough of stealing socks and playing keep-away.
In May of this year, we turned our baby back in to CCI. She'll have 6 months of advanced training. If she makes it through, she'll spend the next few years helping someone who really needs her. What her future holds, we can only guess.
Moki was the inspiration for MokiPoki Designs. We offer one-of-a-kind pen and ink and watercolor drawings, prints and greeting cards for all dog lovers. Custom drawings are also available, just let us know what you need. We'd love to hear from you, so please let us know what you think!
