Guest bellenzo Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Enzo was diagnosed with OS last year and was put to sleep in November. ( I had a post in remembrance at that time.) A few weeks ago I received an email from a friend that they saw a drawing of Enzo on a Carpe Canem charity auction. So I went to look and sure enough it was Enzo, drawn by an artist who was inspired by a picture of Enzo in a Greyhound calendar. (When I first had Enzo, he was photographed by a professional photographer who regularly submits to the dog calendars. He's been in Browntrout and Avonside calendars several times.) Anyway, it was quite a surprise when I saw him staring back at me, beautifully rendered in colored pencil. Of course, I had to place a bid since I know he expected me to, and I won. It arrived yesterday, and here it is. Enzo (Damage Down) 2001-2008-- The artist captured his intelligence and soul beautifully. Quote

Hawthorn Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 How wonderful - I can just imagine how you felt when you found it . Quote When a relationship of love is disrupted, the relationship does not cease. The love continues; therefore, the relationship continues. The work of grief is to reconcile and redeem life to a different love relationship. ~ W Scott Lineberry Always Greyhounds Home Boarding and Greyhounds With Love House Sitting
