I am soooooo happy that your little dudes are okay and that their adventure didn't take them so far that they couldn't be found. What a sinking feeling that must have been. Whew! Big sigh of relief.<br /><br />And this painting is a magnificent tribute to Cliff. What a beauty... he looks majestic and I am certain his family will forever feel his presence through this portrait. Well done!<br /><br />NickiNickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333869924278210044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358020892440594492.post-56180215008710620932011-03-11T12:55:49.110-08:002011-03-11T12:55:49.110-08:00thank you all so very much for stopping by and lea...thank you all so very much for stopping by and leaving such incredibly kind and supportive comments, both on cliff and the safe return of the boys. the support of this community means so much on so many levels. thank you!suzanneberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13702748663139114422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358020892440594492.post-30520086344859805832011-03-11T08:36:11.863-08:002011-03-11T08:36:11.863-08:00Exquisite photo and I am sure that this will be tr...Exquisite photo and I am sure that this will be treasured forever.<br /><br />So glad that you got "the kids" -- scary!!<br /><br />Bises,<br />GGenie -- Paris and Beyondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12758801373365481655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358020892440594492.post-30318029346881973322011-03-11T04:09:26.375-08:002011-03-11T04:09:26.375-08:00Beautifully done.

Beautiful brushwork and likeness.<br />We lost our 14.5 year old brown Himalayan tabby Wendell in October. Anyone who thinks a pet is just an animal must not have one. He was my 'boyfriend' and my hubby's and my love. Traveled with us by car to Florida and Canada every year.<br />We adopted two little girls right away and they are filling the void.<br />I still dream of him.Mary Sheehan Winnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07739304038978908921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358020892440594492.post-71062984454766038492011-03-10T01:23:51.626-08:002011-03-10T01:23:51.626-08:00What a beautiful noble looking dog.

My Moose escapes periodically, normally just looking for someone to pet him, but he ends up scaring everyone because of his size.
