Beautiful dog Bill, sorry for your loss.  Your Mom is very talented the eyes look so real, that's where most fail at.

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

I could not agree more about your Mom's artistic talent.  I am sorry you lost that beautiful dog.  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

Thanks guys....she was a very good natured dog....loved people and my kids as they were growing up.....I will pass along your comments to mom....she has been painting for probably 15 years now and always stressed getting the eyes perfect....she has been doing a lot of ebay sales now and usually has no competition at her local county fair.  Not giving her a plug but she does a lot of contract work for people asking her to paint their pet portraits.  All done from a high pixel photograph.  If you send me a PM I can get you in touch with her......Bill
It may not be very productive,
but it's sure going to be interesting!

I won it! Still in pristine condition...I've never fished it. Too lightweight for the Gulf fishing I do. And a waste just using it on a sabiki rod.
Only thing I've ever won. Except maybe for 2nd prize in a 2 person beauty contest. :)
I'd consider donating it back to give to the next photo contest winner - who hopefully could put it to good use.

My family just lost their last guinea pig today and another one 17 days prior.😭
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

Bryan,
We lost Puff Ball two weeks ago. She got an infection on her foot.
Then she had a stroke and lost her movement waist down.
I pampered her all I could for a week feeding her by hand.
She finally let go after 7 days.
Guinea pigs are fickle. We have been through Many.
They usually pass from respiratory issues or a seizure or stroke.
There is one that is over ten years old. Her Name is squirrel and she just keeps on going.
She always greets me the same way. Gimmee!
Her room mate is a young female with her for now. Miss Tiger.
I always name them by their colors.
Squirrel has outlived at least ten of her roomies now.
She is scrappy and doesn't take any nonsense.
They love green leaf lettuce, grape tomatoes, Strawberries, apples and carrots.
Puff Ball and Squirrel are back on page two. That was 5 years ago.
RIP Puff Ball. :'(

Life is Good!
