Description Trying out for another pup, this time a little boy from RoseWoodEstate . Milton at the front and his mother Ink at the back. Probably should have drawn him a little smaller but by the time I realised about the size I had finished the sketch and didn't want to redraw it cause it looked so nice. D: One day I will work out sizes.
Really like the background on this one with the reflections on the lake (sadly doesn't look as good on here as it does for real). And the dogs' shading came out quite nicely too (although again didn't quite come out as nicely as it is for real).

Hearing that RoseWood Estates had some puppies up for offer, Stacy couldn't resist going to meet the little ones. She and her cousin, Mitchell, were over in Ireland anyway for the Estate’s wilty show. So leaving her cousin in charge of their own pups, she headed off the meet some of the darlings.

Once at RoseWood she was directed to where the litter were getting a little exercise down by the lake. She grinned as she approached the group. One pup noticed her and came running, bringing the rest of its siblings with it. Stacy giggled as she was swarmed by the little bundles of white. Kneeling down she played with the puppies, patting their heads and tickling their bellies.

Out of the bunch, one in particular caught her eye. It was a male with a splash of colour on his rear under his tail. He was a little more shy than the rest, preferring to stick close to his mother. A quiet dog would be nice for the ranch with so many of their dogs seeming to have boundless energy.

After inquiring as to what his name was, Stacy went over at sat near the boy. “Hey there, Milton. Aren't you a sweet, boy?”

He watched her cautiously, slowly approaching. He glanced at his mother, Ink, as she stood nearby, wondering if it was ok. When his mother didn't respond, he stepped a bit closer.

“It's alright. I'm not going to hurt you,” she soothed, drawing him towards her.  Padding forward, he sniffed at her hands. The woman smiled, slowly reaching a hand around to pat him and scratch behind his ear. He leaned into the scratch, his eyes half closing in bliss.

Stacy grinned. “Like that, huh? That's just where my Sophie loves her scratches too.” Scooping the pup into her lap, she continued to scratch the pup behind his ears. Milton wagged his tail, snuggling into her lap. “You're such a sweetie, aren't you?” she cooed. “I think I'd like to take you home I'd they'd let me. What do ya think of that?”

He just continued to wag his tail at her scratching, not paying any attention to her words. Stacy laughed. “All you care about is the snuggles, isn't it?”

Almost as if to emphasise this, Milton curled himself up further in her lap, making her laugh again. “Well, that sells it for me. How could I not take you home now?”
