JA Rock sent me a late Christmas/early birthday present that made me cry.

This is Cleo. JA painted her from a photograph, because she is insanely talented.
Cleo was put to sleep last August, and I still miss her every day.

Lisa Henry I should add, I still miss her every day except for the part where I can now leave shoes on the floor and they won't get stolen and/or eaten. She never did grow out of that puppy phase.

Emma Sea ok, that's amazing. Did you tell her one is not supposed to stand in the talent line twice??


message 3: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Henry I know, right? I'll bet she can sing as well.

What a bitch.

It's so beautiful, Manda! And so is JA, of course :)
You know, despite everything I said about her in my last comment...

Meags Gah. You're going to make me cry. What a fabulous gift.


message 7: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Henry I know! I mean, how the hell can I ever beat that? :)

JA is just awesome. Totally fucking awesome.

send her a puppy. Or a baby panda. or a sugar glider!


message 9: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Henry A sugar glider would be perfect!


♣ Irish Smurfétté ♣ Hugssssssss. That's the first thing lol.

And JA is hella talented. I remember that pic. :D

Lol @ Emma. She definitely cheated somehow.

If her excellence in doing public readings is any indication, I bet she can sing, too.

Think her head will still fit through the doorway?

More hugs.

Mercedes Outstanding job! You have n amazing friend! Also so sorry for your loss!

Samantha Awe, that's beautiful! I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your wonderful furry friend.

This Christmas I got an engraved necklace in memory of my baby girl that we had to put to sleep in May (bone cancer is a horrible thing.)

Still miss her everyday too! I don't see it changing anytime soon... or well, ever.


message 13: by Karen (new)

Karen Gorgeous. I very much understand what a special gift this is for you as my son's partner did a beautiful pencil drawing of the Dalmatian who lived with us for 17 years for my husband and we truly treasure it. Photographs are lovely but they really can't compare to the beauty of a painting or a drawing of a much loved pet that's been done by someone who knows you and understands your loss.

and yes what Emma said, really getting in the talent line twice so greedy ;-)

That reading at GRL! I KNOW! If she wasn't my friend I'd have to hate her a lot.

Five months on and I'm only just at the point where I can maybe start thinking of getting another pup. It takes a while!

Such a beautiful gift, and such a beautiful sentiment.

I can so empathise with this. I lost two beloved dogs within a mere 8 months, my wonderful Mr. B this week completely without forewarning and so young, and few people other than other pet owners understand what it means.

I envy you your wonderful gift.

Lisa Henry Sorry for your loss, Steel. *Hugs*


♣ Irish Smurfétté ♣ Hugs for you, Steel.

Exactly.
And it's so much easier and takes a lot less energy to laugh instead of hate lol

It does take less energy to laugh, but if I don't give in to my hate, how will I ever join the Dark Side?


♣ Irish Smurfétté ♣ Oh honey...

*pats you on the shoulder*

don'tchu know that's a lost cause?

unless.....

FANFIC.

Thank you. Why is everyone breeding for looks, work or speed and not for health and longevity? I'd have no problem with being with an ugly mutt, if only they lived a bit longer than 8 or 10 years.

Heh, JA sounds wonderfully multitalented, but then she's got to hold her own with you, Lisa, what do you expect? :)

Yeah, a decade isn't really long enough, is it? One of the worst things about having a pet. But still worth it.


Karma♥Bites ^.~ I just saw this... WOW! what a fantastic gift, Lisa (and *amazing* talent re: JA Rock)

*swallows down lump in throat*


TinaNicole ☠ Le Book Nikita ☠ Holy crap! That is seriously amazing. I had to zoom all the way in to see that it was a painting and not a photo.

I'm sorry about your Cleo. It's always tough losing one of your furbabies. I'm sure she's enjoying her time over the Bridge of Rainbows. Likely with all the shoes she can eat. ;)

It's a beautiful painting and a wonderfully thoughtful gift.
