Artist's Comments

On Monday september 17th, my little brother, companion, best friend and dog passed away. Wolfy was 16 years old, and was suffering from an encroaching brain tumor. There was nothing more we could do but ease his suffering.... He lived a long and happy life, and up until he died my life revolved entirely around him. Now I feel like the only thing I can do is try to live life to the fullest without him, and to use my art to show everyone how wonderful he was.

:heart: [link] :heart:

I started this drawing a few days before his death, with our past childhood adventures in the Colorado Rockies in mind. When we were young, we conquered the forest together. I decided to take it to finish when I came home from the vet that day without him. Art therapy I guess you can call it.

I guess this is me as some kind of dog horse (don't know why) if anyone is curious what the heck kind of creature this is. And Wolfy is an American Eskimo dog, with a little sword!

I'm going to miss him intensly, he can never be replaced... No critique for obvious reasons. Done in watercolour, coloured pencil, graphite and acrylic paint on smooth bristol.

That's a wonderful way to respect someone so special. ^^ I'm so sorry to hear that happened to him, but when you meet up with him again on Rainbow Bridge you can show him that picture and I'm sure he'll love it. X3 He was such a cute little guy from the looks of it. I'm sure he did live a long happy life.

Awww... Lovely dedication and a wonderful image.

A lot of us have lost beloved pets - family members. My mom's cat is going on 17 herself, and is kind of showing it, but with grace. I'm sure that eventually there will be another dog - but there's never gonna be another Wolfie :)

I'm lucky. My cats are 15 and still look only 8. But while I haven't lost my babies, I understand your pain. Whenever I think of what my life will be like when they're gone...it's so painful. But like some of the others are saying, you'll meet up again and you'll be together forever more. He's still with you in your heart, and while I know that's not much comfort, try to remember him with a smile because he'd want his most special person to remember him with happiness.

If loff was a disease, trust me....you'd want to catch it. Spread the loff instead of hurting each other.
A little bit of loff can go a long way.

Please Jesus, protect me from your followers.
Nice!!! :D :D
