That’s pretty damn awesome. I love both of those paintings. So much heart.
Thanks, I’ll let her know. All 3 of the dogs came from different rescue groups and she is going to do a painting with several different breeds for each of them with their groups names on them. The beagle is my daughter’s dog and he goes to Radford with her. The black lab/shepherd mix we got as a puppy, her mother was surrendered to a high kill shelter when she got pregnant. Luckily all the dogs were rescued. The big hound, we adopted right after we got the puppy, he was about 11 years old when we got him almost 4 years ago. He’s an awesome dog and was a huge influence on the puppy. He would correct her if she chewed on something she wasn’t supposed to. Now she corrects the beagle if he tries to do something bad. We were lucky they all bonded together. I wanted my kids to grow up with rescue dogs so they will continue the trend when they get places of their own. All of them plan on having 2 dogs each. We can’t save them all, but we do what we can. I’m glad that congress finally passed the law that animal cruelty is a federal crime now. Not sure why it wasn’t done years ago.
