Duke has been Adopted!!!

YAY!!! Our sweet rescued iggy "Duke" has found the most wonderful Forever-Home!! He even has an Iggy sister in his new home here in the Anchorage area :) Duke has had a rough go with his left leg which has been broken twice. He came into rescue here with us in Nov '08 with his second broken leg and his family could not care for him. We almost had to amputate the leg a few months ago as it had an infection that got in the bone. But somehow it got well and the break has healed... then Duke was neutered...and last week his Dream-Home came along :) We are so happy for him and we hear often from his new home where he is settling in very well :) They sent me this sweet pic taken of Duke a few days ago :)

Bark for Art Fundraiser donation

This little painting of our sweet Pug friend "Bella" is for a local fundraiser "Bark for Art" will be held at the fabulous "Paw Prince" boutique in May. A portion of the proceeds will go to the local SPCA and a portion also to Greyhound rescue :) I love how pugs manage to look "worried" and "smile" at the same time...I love these little guys :) Bella and her wonderful mom "Sandy" provided a foster home for the past 4 months for our rescued italian greyhound Duke. Duke has a new forever home and I will post about him too. Bella...thank you for modeling!!

Roma

Here is an update on Roma's painting. It's getting really close to being done...just needs some detail work and bit more work on the contrast and shadows. The source photo is very shadowy but I plan to keep it just a bit lighter for the painting. Roma has such a sweet face :)
