Dog Art Today Moves to Grass Valley

Written by

Drawing of Grass Valley, artist unknown, 1858 . Via Sierra College.

I found a miner's cabin overlooking a vineyard that feels like the perfect place to blog about dogs and make art. So this July, I am moving Dog Art Today headquarters to Grass Valley, CA.

The town is spectacular, with history, community, and an infectious pioneer spirit. Everyone seems to be planting vegetable gardens and sharing their crops. I have a pen where I can raise goats. There are communes that plant tulips and saloons that stay open around the clock. And my sister and brother-in-law raising their two little girls whom I adore. Friends Cindy and Jack too. I am thrilled!

Now for more dog art…I missed my blog.

You’re moving out of LA? Say it ain’t so!! Though I never see you, it’s been a comfort knowing there’s a kindred spirit living in this big sprawling city. I’ll miss that! But this place sounds really amazing and inspiring. Best of luck to you and Darby!

Moira:
Best of luck with the move. Still waiting for that picture of Darby! We are off to Nepal in June for the 5th Danger Dog signboard ordering spree. Back in August. Check out the ‘Beware of Goats’ section on my website! Or maybe later this week I’ll do a blog on them. Thanks again for all your help with the Danger Dogs!

Congratulations on the new digs! I’m going back to the desert tomorrow after a week in lush, green Sonoma county, and it’s going to be hard. This is such a beautiful state. Enjoy the flowers and goats! It’s all good for the soul.

I wondered where you’ve been. Sounds like you’ve got your Robinson Jeffers spot- and your little pup will love it there too! now don’t become too reclusive… but maybe the 24/7 saloon will help you mingle with the folks.

Welcome to the Sierra Nevada! Dogs do love mountains. Watch out for ticks!
