Description
Artist's Training Grounds Alumni Group - Week 6 - Pony Pets.Applejack's truest, best friend, Winona, the perfect pet for the Element of Honesty, because there is nothing more honest and pure then a Dog. They will love you regardless of who you are, and you can always be true to them.
True, sappy, sad story, and I apologize for sharing, but I was thinking of this while drawing this image. I've always loved Dogs, and have valued my relationship with my dogs more then I do with some people. I lost my dog Connor about two years ago, and it still hurts. He was the best dog, more personality and love in him then in any dog I'd ever seen. I've had three dogs in my life, but was too young to truely remember the first, and the second dog was a bit too stand-offish (she was rejected from behavior training for poor atttitude). But, Connor was an absolutely amazing friend.
When I read this weeks topic, I immediately had an idea for something stupid, a joke with Applejack walking Applebloom on a leash, one of those kid-leashes you occassionally see parents have strapped to their kids at the mall. But the more I thought about it, the more I thought about Connor, and so, I stayed on with Applejack, but instead made it a little more serious, and included her loveable pup. So, here's to you Connor. I still miss you everyday.
Also, I have a four hour drive to Indianapolis followed by staying all day at Gen-con, so I'm looking at maybe 4 hours of sleep here, I really need to stop this post and go to bed... confound these ponies, they make me relieve good memories.

I feel your pain, I had a relationship like that with my cat Chester. He was born on my birthday and almost never left my side. He died a month or two after our birthday of being 15... Nonetheless, I've had quite a few dogs under my watch as well! Winona is definitely a pet who's been shunned by most fanart and I'm glad to see some right here of her with my favorite Element of Harmony, Applejack! Great work, and you're story isn't sappy at all.

It's so weird how they can get into your heart like that, I absolutely wouldn't trade the time I spent with Connor for anything! Thanks!

Paw-hoof? Don't know if that works, but it looks like it should.

Great story, there is never enough Winona, has to be the least drawn of the pets.

Wow, that's a touching story about your dog. I love dogs, too; my family has a bichon frise named Rocky.
Love Applejack! Winona is adorably, too. Good job!
