I have very faded memories of a cartoon that I saw in the early '00s that I think was on a video tape that had a compilation of programming aimed at very young children. What I think happened in it was that it featured a young brother and sister who were up late at night, and they each decided to draw a dog on a blackboard. I think that the boy drew a big dog, but I can't remember what it looked like beyond that, while the girl drew an English bulldog. Both dogs came to life shortly after they were drawn, and could talk. I think that both dogs were completely grey, and that the bulldog was wearing a small pink bow on its head. I think that there was a scene where both dogs ate slices of bread from a bag after that, but that's where my memories of the cartoon end. I am certain that it was not ChalkZone. This cartoon was probably made in America; does it sound familiar to anyone?
Thank you for trying, but I have a feeling that a cartoon that aired only in North America, and was not available on video tape, in 2002, would be too late for the time when I saw whatever this was. Here are other things that I should have mentioned about it: 1) I don't think that there was anything unique about how the cartoon was coloured. 2) I think that the brother and sister both had either blonde or light brown hair, and that the sister had a ponytail. 3) This is going to sound somewhat strange, but the only other thing that I remember that I think was on the same video tape as this cartoon, was a short real-life video clip of a (green?) balloon rising into the sky, possibly over a city. As this happened, a deep male's voice, with an American accent, slowly announced the sentence: 'A Happy Baby Song'.
Thank you for trying, but something else that I should have clarified was that the kids in the cartoon that I watched were probably kindergarteners, and I am quite sure that the cartoon took place entirely indoors. Another thing that I think happened in the cartoon that I saw was that the kids decided to enter their parents' bedroom to bring their parents some food that they had prepared, and I think that music with lyrics may have been playing in the background as this happened. This is extremely faint in my mind, though.
Thank you for trying; I can tell that you paid close attention to my description, but this is not it. I am at least certain that the cartoon took place mostly or entirely indoors, that there were two children and two dogs, and that the dogs could talk. I have a feeling that the animation in the cartoon in question wasn't very fluid; perhaps it was a foreign production? Not what I would expect from an American video tape intended for very young children, though...
Someone already brought up "Simon & the Land of Chalk Drawings." It's very crudely drawn, very short episodes, 2 seasons. The original 1970s series could have had global VHS distribution even if the 2002 reboot did not. No guarantees, I could only find a small handful uploaded onto Youtube.
Well, if you can find an old cartoon with an even remotely similar art style to what you remember, it could help narrow down the decade of the cartoon.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think that the cartoon that I remember would have been, 'Simon & the Land of Chalk Drawings'. I don't think that the cartoon that I remember seeing was extensively narrated, if it was narrated at all. Additionally, the cartoon probably used regular lip-sync.
I don't think that I would recognise the cartoon even if I did see it now. This cartoon could have actually been a product of my imagination, but I'm not convinced that it was just yet. If it does exist, then I'm dying to know where it originated from.
