Roger’s off and away from me again, this time to California at the Bullseye Resource Center from September 6-10, 2018. Again, this popular class will feature a final and fifth half day of…

Roger tends to take longer to create his pieces these days, but he’s still making some amazing work. This is from one of his newest pieces, and is called Isthmus, which is hard for humans to say, let along dogs. He started with an image of adorable moi and a previous palette for inspiration,…

It’s been a long, hot summer already here at Roger Thomas Glass. Seriously. It hits 80 degrees before noon, and for a large, black dog of my stature who is used to Pacific Northwest summers? That is not cool. I spend a lot of my time sprawled out on the cement floor in the middle…

Roger will be giving a lecture at their 2015 conference, which will be held right here in Portland, OR at the DoubleTree at Lloyd Center from June 10 – 12.

And you know what that means… That’s right. No love for the Ingrid. But even I have to admit it looks good. We were out for a walk the other day. I prefer the parks, so I can chase balls and squirrels, but walking along the Columbia Slough is nice, too. And sometimes we head…
Continue Reading →With Roger teaching so much these days, I’ve been a little bored. Admittedly, I’ve spend a lot of time on YouTube. But I don’t watch silly videos with cats. I watch videos of REAL dogs. And this is one of my favorites: IngridIngrid the Studio Dog says she is Roger’s companion, advisor, and motivator. OK….

This is Zippy the Zombie Squirrel. He scares me. He’s a yard light, of all things. And aren’t you lucky? You get two…
Continue Reading →I was out walking my Roger this morning and we ran into Kat. Not a real cat. Trust me. I know the difference. Roger’s been talking to me about the real ones. Mostly: “LEAVE IT,” he explained. Tee hee. I paraphrased Ring Lardner. Pretty smart for a dog… Anyway, Kat is not a cat, but…
