The
main inspiration for my Lab paintings��my constant
companion�..Sophie. She
was a gift from my husband just
8 weeks after my parents passed 6 days apart so I�m sure they had a
hand in picking her for me. From
the start we bonded��she sat beside me on the couch and shared my
lunch..(the practice continues�..on vacations without her I�m amazed
at finishing a whole meal)�..she kissed my face when I was sad
and did silly butt tucks around the yard to make me laugh. Sophie
would not have made a good guide dog, she is afraid of noises, wary of
shadows, but will let me know if there�s someone she doesn�t
trust�..I trust her instincts�.I have found she�s a lot like
me��a mirror image�taking one step forward in life and a couple
back�..so together we started agility training!!!!
It took awhile but when I started to feel confident in what I was
doing so did she! We
did our first trial together this past year and the new equipment scared
her , I laughed and hugged her and our second try she did
terrific��.together we had a new confidence in our lives. So
I will continue to capture her in paint ��for those of you who live
with a �furkid� I know you understand my heart�..and for those who
live with a Lab�. you understand how she captured my heart.
