I'm back.  Boy what a few weeks away does for oneself.  I have so many things to tell you...but right now I'm going to share a story about my PuppyKids.

A week or so ago, I saw a post about Chewy artist who had painted Portraits of their Pups. That post reminded me that I, too, had gotten portraits of of my 4 PuppyKids done by a Chewy Artist.

It was during a difficult time in my life...you see, I had to re-home my 3 Pups. Why? A divorce, had to sell my home in Michigan and move back home to Wisconsin. I had little money and didn't know where I would be living and I knew I couldn't take care of my pups the way they needed to be taken care of. I was going to stay in a motel til I found someplace to live and with 3 pups, that could have been impossible to do. I personally saw to it that all 3 of my pups found GREAT homes! I contacted Chewy, a website for pets, to cancel my account as I wouldn't be buying anything for dogs again and it was to difficult seeing emails in my in-box about Chewy. A while later, I received a box from from Chewy. I wondered what would be inside and really didn't want to look...but I did. I have paintings of ALL of my PuppyKids, including one that had passed away! His name was Benny and was only 4 1/2yrs old when he died.

After a couple a few years, I do again have a furry companion...a ShihTzu named Teddy.

That's Teddy in the recliner in my office.

I was so touched by the kindness of everyone at Chewy.

You are amazing people. Thanks again.
