He was such a special part of our family and he was so special to Darryl. Darryl always said that you can love other dogs but you only have one dog in your lifetime that is "the dog" and Ike was his. He loves that painting and says that it is the perfect memorial to him. Thank you so much! You are an amazing artist. You can't imagine how special this painting is to us. Darryl will treasure this painting forever. I know I have already said Thank You! a million times but Thank You! The painting is perfect!!!!!<br />AutumnAutumnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10123481789286745410noreply@blogger.com
