They are with us a short time, but they leave their mark on us. Have a good season.

Always a bittersweet time that we have with our dogs. We all share your loss...and the joy of being owned by dogs. BTW, what is the origin of the exceptional artwork?
(I hope it's okay that I righted your photo.)

Of course, thank you for doing that for me. A few years ago one of our members daughter was in college and was doing artwork for members for a very reasonable price. She drew it from the picture that I posted of the two of them. It is an amazing tribute to them and I cherish it.

As an art professor and painter of more than 45 years, I’d give that piece an “A”. So much more than just a copy of a photo.
You have, and have had, beautiful dogs.

Steve, your post sure took me back to those setters that have left a mark in my life.
Can't make myself change my avatar picture of my beloved Betty, she's been gone for years. Little Doodle may replace her picture. That's a wonderful rendition of your dogs.
