For the year of the dog I decided to use Courtney and Ninetales.

I was born in the year of the dog~ ^^

After reading the Pokemon manga I found myself really loving Courtney ^^ I love her and her love for burning things XD

I actually really love how this turned out ^^ and I don't have much of a problem with my coloring here and I normally do

Although Courtney already owns a Ninetales, I think these two match each other very well. Of course being on Team Magma, I'd have to had paired Courtney with Ninetales but there were other reasons too. In the manga, Courtney used to participate in contests when she was younger. I think Ninetales matches well because despite having a fierce personality on the ouside, she's really kind on the inside. Her part in the manga really moved me >< I cried several times because of her TT-TT

Even though Ninetales may be pretty, they are also very fierce and strong. I planned on using on in Heart Gold but unfortunately you get Growlithe instead...but then again my starter was a fire type so I didn't use my Vulpix as much ><

Anyways I hope you like my version of the Dog ^^
