BEAUTIFUL PAINTING!

Hey Pals,

We received a very very special wonderful gift from several of our blogging friends.  The UPS man delivered a pizza box to us.  Yep, a pizza box.

I was sniffing the box like crazy cause I could smell my sweet Cousin Asta!  Some of you know that her Mommi - Ami is a professional artist and paints wonderful pictures.  Please be sure to check out her web site:
AMARILLIS  DELENDVAY  KROON

Anyhoo, we were soooooo excited to see what was inside of the box....................


It is a beautiful painting of our Angel Snickers when she was a wee pup - 3 1/2 months old:

(click on the picture to biggify)

Isn't she gorgeous???  It matches the burgundy walls in our bedroom pawfectly!  Ami based the portrait on a picture we have of Snickers taken when she was only 3 1/2 months old and missing her front baby teeth. 

Her little pink tongue and nose look soooooooooooooooooo REAL!  It's simply amazing!  We want to thank all of our friends involved for this wonderful gift, we will treasure it always!  When we walk into our bedroom, first thing we will always see is our Angel Snickers looking at us.................

Wirey Hugs, Purrz & Licks,
Butchy, Ruby, Sylvester, Scuby & Hootie

Oh my. I loves it. I did not know my Miss Snickers when she was that small a pup, but I can see all the sweetness that I loved when I first met her, and all the love that you shared with us.

Oh Butchy...Angel Snickers looks so bootiful watching over your family!!! Auntie Ami did a wonderful job on her...that little pink tongue is the sweetest thing...and the way her head is tilted as if she's listenin' to somethin'!!!

Clacie is just being impossible...she has the purple basket packed...WITH MY MAKEUP...she's going to hold a lesson for the pups!!! And I think she's going to be doing free pedicures...in purple, pink and yellow, of course...

I just wish she'd stop gloating that she gets to go...I can't help it I don't like moving vehicles....cept planes of course...

Sheesch...

Kisses dear boy...and the painting looks amazing!!!

Dearest Snickers...we miss her Butchy!

Love and kisses,

Dear Butchy and your wondeful family. We are so happy to be able to think of you having such a beautiful painting of Sweet Snickers looking over you and your family. Her expression is so full of the life and love that she was all about. Ami captured it perfectly. And we LOVE the gold shimmer in some of the lines and details. Snickers sparkles in her portrait, just as she did in her life. And as she always will in our memories. This painting is just perfect. We can just imagine your smiles.

Love
Jake and Fergi and family xxxxoooo

oh that is just so beautiful how special!!!! and keeping it pink weve just seen clacies piccys of the puppies and we think there is something about 3 spot pink girl's moves that tells us she could be a winner....

Scruffy, Lacie and Stanley's Place said...

I dunno, Butchy...that cell phone you gave Puppers has a camera on it...she just sent me a pic of herself with that MAKEUP smeared all over her little face...you do know Clacie was giving makeup advice yesterday, don't ya? I knew she started them too young...I NEVER would have introduced anything but a tiny bit of black lip glossie at almost five weeks...

THEY HAVE EYE SHADOW ON AND NOSECARA!!!!

I have just texted Lilly to get a wash cloth and some cold cream...

SHEESCH!

Kisses,

That's really a beautiful painting of Ms. Snickers. It captures her gentle face and playful personality all in one image. Asta's mom is such a good artist.
