Just talked to Diane, who is here and brought David along as his family thought he needed to get away from his school studies for the day. David thought it would be fun to do a painting of a groundhog, so he will be doing it with Diane's help. It might take a while to do it but when it is finished it will be sent to what ever address you give them. Consider it a Christmas present. Diane said that sharing the world of art is one of her pleasures, and David is going to take photos of his painting for his portfolio. You never know, it may be a collectors item some day.

Not too long ago I was forced into a surgery I did not want and SWMBO was aware of it after the fact. She has a very dear relationship with her “sister in spirit” whom is an accomplished Artist and who also has won many a championship medal for her show dogs over the years..

Anyway, I wanted to share the gifts I received from “ Sister in Spirit” during my recovery.. To say the quality of work, which can not be clearly identified in these pictures, is of outstanding form and detail an understatement.. She captures the depth of the facial expressions that resonate immediately upon looking at them. So talented. Enlarge them to see the detail please..

Moved me to tears and I have been waiting to put them up so I could photograph them properly and then post them. Not realizing it’s going to be a little bit of time before I can get up on a ladder I am doing this now.
Sister in spirit is real and a wonderful person and I’m still amazed at the fact that she gave me pictures of the breed of dogs I absolutely love, have had over the years and yet I have never spoken to her. Terriers, Pomeranians, and Yorky terriers my favorite.

If not for SWMBO I would not have these to share with you too.. A special Thank You to NPP and SWMBO !!They are the epitome of Everything any one of us could ever stand for. And I am very privileged to know them.❤️❤️✨

David is going to be a wonderful artist and illustrator. He still has a lot of personal pain and abuse to deal with and a long road to healing. Diane says it is two steps forward and one step back month to month. Fortunately he has a great support team. NPP and SWMBO are still being extra grandparents, of course plus the three counselor therapists one of which is the family he now lives with, and fortunately he has found a couple of black friends in school plus most of the white kids are great. His therapy dog is now going to be his forever pet and he will probably have another therapy dog in a year or so, Fortunately one of NPP and SWMBOs former students is now teaching a number of people how to work with therapy dogs as well as running his own boarding kennel and training classes. It is a great world with God's help and guidance, isn't it?
