I have used art as a means of combatting anxiety for decades. In this case, I needed a protector from the "bad vibes." Unfortunately, the canine spirit I summoned ended up being more of a chicken than a guard dog! (Poor pup.) I suppose not all of the otherworldly critters have had a life like mine (especially if they're experiencing the horrors inside my head...) (I felt bad for him...)
