The can jump on Pronk91裸聊视频檚 back and flush a toilet.
Pronk said she struggled through the seemingly 91裸聊视频渘ever-ending91裸聊视频� winter to find ways to tire out Ollie and his younger brother, Bo, around their home in Maple Ridge.
She got the idea to teach her four-legged friend how to paint after looking at the work of other dogs on YouTube, whose owners were selling their paintings online.
When she was told there91裸聊视频檇 be a two-month wait to get her hands on a piece: 91裸聊视频淚 thought I91裸聊视频檇 pick up the supplies and teach him myself.91裸聊视频�
Pronk created a special handle for Ollie, so he can hold the paint brush in his mouth comfortably. Since March, he91裸聊视频檚 painted about 30 pieces.
Each painting sells for $50 each, with $10 from each going to the local SPCA. Each one includes a few photos of Ollie actually painting the photo, perhaps similar to a certificate of authenticity.
Despite the new-found trick becoming more and more like a job for the pet, Pronk said it91裸聊视频檚 up to him if he wants to pick up the brush.
91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檙e trying to keep it fun and not stressful for him,91裸聊视频� Pronk said. 91裸聊视频淎t the end of the day, he91裸聊视频檚 a dog, so sometimes he wants to do it and other times he wants to be a dog and chew his bone.91裸聊视频�
