doggone

Going away,

Gracey's ears

looked

just like this.

What a girl.

I still miss her.

SamArtDog said...: You're right; she does look brown. Good; she was a pretty chocolate lab with a very colorful personality. Also, her life was every shade, from horrible to glorious. Happily, in that order.
She died 3 years ago from a fast-moving bone cancer, which she did with grace, like everything else. I credit her with getting my sorry butt to our humane society soon enough to find Garrett The Great. Like I said, what a girl.; March 9, 2010 at 8:57 AM

SamArtDog said...: Jala, I think you're very kind. It's also possble that you have strep brain.; March 9, 2010 at 5:10 PM
Jala Pfaff said...: Nope, not delusional, and not a wombat. It's just an awesome painting. It feels so full of emotion--even if I hadn't know the pooch myself. Partly because she is departing...

word verif.: hedablec. No, head o'strep.; March 9, 2010 at 5:14 PM
Melinda said...: You've accomplished something so difficult that many can't pull it off--create a moving eulogy in paint without any hint of saccharine.

It is really moving.

I had a dog go through bone cancer, too, and when he died, it was devastating. Our 'new' knucko'head saved me from total despair.

Really well done.; March 9, 2010 at 6:05 PM

SamArtDog said...: I'm glad to hear this painting moves you all. Me, too, but the good news is that, just like Gracey, her sad story somehow feels good in the end.; March 10, 2010 at 9:07 AM
