Pet Portraits

By -

Every morning Huck would stand in the kitchen. Rozzy would get up and touch Huck's nose and then serpentine around his legs; telling everyone Huck belonged to her. I loved this ritual. When Kate G at my vet's office, painted some incredible animals for the office, I asked her to paint my Huck and my Rozzy. I found a picture I had taken of the ritual. Here's the amazing and touching result. I just got it today. Kate captured their tenderness with one another perfectly.

I so admire those who can paint. I love when the painting exceeds your expectations. This one does.

Now along with Huck's ashes and ribbons and paw print, I have this amazing painting to hang in my home. It does them both justice.

I WOULD LOVE YOU TO LEAVE A COMMENT>

What a talented young lady. She caught the sweetness between Huck and Rozzy perfectly.

So beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. Macy and Max touch noses that way all during the day. I have always wondered what it means--what they are telling each other. Our fur-babies are so sweet!!

That's a great painting.

My bunnies have that same ritual when they run into each other during their hops around the apartment.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
