Sad news
While my oil paintings are set aside to dry today I have been working on my pastel alpaca portrait.............. out of the blue I had a phone call from a friend to say that she has finally had to have her lovely Border collie "Daisy" PTS ~ Daisy was an amazing dog who was in her 19th year! she had been blind and partially deaf for the last two years but in otherwise fine health and great spirits, I had the great pleasure of looking after her for a week or so last year while my friend was abroad and was impressed with her get up and go for a dog so old!

It's always so sad when we lose our best friends that way. It's amazing that she lives to be 19 and I'm sure your friend gave her a great life.
Your painting of her is beautiful - I so admire your work.
Thank You Jan, yes she had a very good long innings and will be very much missed
So sad when we lose one of our canine (or feline) friends. I am sure your beautiful portrait will be treasured.
19 years is a long time, shows she was well taken care of and loved :)
