dead?

I was at my mom's this past half week - returned last night. I drew their dog the first night I was there since he was laying on the sofa nuzzled up to my sister's leg. This drawing makes it look like he's almost dead, but of course his eye is open & he's not!

The dog's name is Levi. He's really cute & always wants to play - which my sister often did with him by tossing his ball or toy around outside. Levi is a dachshund longhair. A girlfriend of mine also has a dachshund but the shorthaired variety.

Below is a slightly blurry photo I took of Levi. Sometimes I just need my tripod.
