Goodbye to Hanna

Today Hanna went to be with Gus and the Lord.

She would have been 12 years old on November 5.

She was a beautiful, sweet soul, and a great source of comfort, love,

and companionship for Dan and me.

We will miss her terribly. I will miss her presence on the patio

while I painted. I will miss the warmth of her big beautiful head

to hug and kiss. I will miss her excited , expectant search through the

grocery bags on shopping day to see what mommy brought home for her.

I will miss her warmth on the bed sleeping next to me. And the way she wanted to share whatever I was eating. Loved Peanut Butter!!

Goodbye, my dear baby girl....

"What?....WHAT?? 12x16" oil on Creative Edge canvas

This is another painting that is almost finished.

I only have to paint the edges and varnish.

I thought about how puppies just do whatever seems FUN! They do what comes naturally. They don't have a concept of right or wrong. And if you come upon them engaged in one of their fun activities that you don't approve of, they look at you like "What?....WHAT?" But they can soon tell by your tone or your demeanor that you are not happy. But they are still so precious....you just can't get angry!
