Yellow, black or chocolate all lab dogs are so happy! We have two yellow labs and I adore them. They make my life so full and rich. 🙂

“To The Moon And Back”

Commission of Luna The Black Lab

2015

I’ve been working on a lot of custom work so far in 2015!  Paintings and portraits for special people.  I was recently asked to create a custom piece featuring this beautiful dog.  Here is what her guardian has to say:

And yes, of course share Luna’s story!  I can give you a few more details b/c she has a pretty sad story with what we think is a happy ending.  When she was rescued (after having been abandoned in Ohio and sent to a high kill shelter), she was blind, severely overweight (120 pounds), and had bilateral cranial crucial ligament disease. She was put on an aggressive diet and she is now down to a svelte 75 pounds.  After we adopted her in March we got her first CCL repaired, but then we discovered a mast cell tumor that also required surgery – luckily the prognosis was good and we went ahead with the second CCL repair.  So the poor girl had 3 surgeries in about 12 weeks.  But now 10 months later she is moving better and still the same sweet, gentle dog – lover of all other dogs, kids, cats and the like.  She loves walking and sniffing the air and believe it or not, car rides are her favorite!

Thank you so much for capturing her look and spirit!!

Poor Dog

Our poor boy Toby has been on the equivalent of “bed rest” for the past 6 weeks.  He injured his back knee and the vet said no ball for 6 weeks.  Do you know how hard it is to not allow a retriever to retrieve?  He constantly grabs anything he can and brings it to us to throw for him.  We picked up and hid all of the balls, but he managed to find one out in the back yard (it’s a big 1 acre yard) and bring it to me this morning.  So desperate.  Only a few more days and dog nirvana will be his!

A Dog’s Life

This is Toby…our naughty dog.  He is the sweetest boy you could imagine with lots of kisses and snuggles.  But when you aren’t looking he will have some fun. 🙂  I love dogs and have always had them in my life.  I cannot imagine living in a home without them. Perhaps that is what hell is like…no dogs.  We recently got a new girl….a rescued Mastiff. We sort of swore off the large breeds because their life expectancy is so low, but caved when we realized how empty our home is without one.  The big dogs are special and laying across their warm bodies and receiving love is like no other feeling.

Here is where my pack spends a lot of their time.  Throughout the day when I take breaks I lay around with them on their beds for petting and kisses.  They say it is healthy and lowers blood pressure.  I say it just keeps me sane. 🙂
