This beautiful gal charmed her family for thirteen years and her "Mom" asked if she could be a model for this month's challenge. Thanks so much for allowing me to spend time with Roxanne! She looks like a strong and loving soul.

Painting #20 of Thirty Dogs And A Cat Challenge

"Moose"

This is a tribute as Moose crossed the rainbow bridge earlier this month. His family are part of my family, Glen and Jennifer, who live in New Jersey and are missing this guy. He looks like he meant business in this pose. Each pet comes to us with their own personalities and make such an imprint on our lives. Losing them is like losing any loved one and takes time together over the heart ache.  Here's to all the love and memories out pets bring to our lives. Hope this portrait brings a smile to their faces!
