Little Miss Nellie

Description

A drawing for my new girl Nellie! She's so lovely, and I would like to do more with my real life rescue dogs and so I'm going to be writing and drawing their adoption and training process, starting with my newest pup Nellie. One warning - I'm a drawer now a writer!

Danni sighed as she checked her ringing phone and saw it was the local animal shelter. Peridot Farm had become affiliates with them a few months ago, and took in difficult dogs or dogs that weren't coping too well in their kennels, and either used the more luxurious facilities to accommodate them. The idea was to give them a better quality of life whilst they wait for their forever home, but quite often Peridot had ended up keeping them as Danni and other staff members had become too attached to let them go. That was the one downside - Peridot's dog cottages were filling up fast with gorgeous looking mix breeds! 
Answering the phone, she was told that an american bulldog girl had arrived, and was proving a difficult one to handle because she was so bored and lonely in her kennel. Danni felt a grin spread across her face - american bulldogs were among her favourite breeds of all time, and she definitely couldn't pass up this opportunity! Even if this dog may be another she ended attached to that would be staying.
At last the day came when Danni would be meeting this Nellie. She couldn't stop fidgeting and talking in the van on the way over, driving her colleague Zak mad. Covu was in his crate in the back of the cute Peridot van, as Nellie wouldn't be coming with them if she didn't get on with alpha Covu. He sensed her excitement and let out a whine, looking forward to whatever was coming.
Upon arrival at the small shelter, Danni was warned that Nellie was big, loud, mouthy and boisterous, and would need firm handling and lots of training, but overall she was a lovely girl. When the shelter staff bought her to meet Danni, she instantly fell in love. Nellie was perfect - a wriggling, humongous mass of slobber, excitement and muscle. They played all sorts of games together and had lots of sloppy kisses, before Zak bought Covu into the pasture. Danni held her breath, though was sure he'd be okay. Nellie lunged towards him playfully, getting in his face and flicking slobber all over his black fur. Covu wasn't sure at first and stood stiff and still, watching Nellie with a worried expression on his handsome face. Nellie bounded in front of him, offering a play bow to entice him to play, and to her delight he accepted, and they ran and chased each other until they were both exhausted. Danni giggled as she knocked her best boy over for the hundredth time - she definitely needed to learn her size and how to play nicely, but it was quite endearing.
She'd definitely be one that would be living her life out at Peridot Farm.
