So sweet, your little buddy, and how hard to let go...leaves such a vacuum. I'm so pleased that you had each other...a benefit to each of you. Ohh...so sad. He sure was cute.

What an adorable buddy you had there, Jim! I'm sorry that he's not with you any more ... I know how attached you must have been to him. Pets are like family ... and we love them just as much! You did a fabulous job on this portrait of Buster! You really captured his gentle soulfulness! Love the black background! CONGRATULATIONS on your well-deserved Finalist Award! You have a lovely gallery, by the way! :) #8689804

Thanks Christine...I shot this in our family room with my studio lighting set up. Buster was laying on a bed on a black drop cloth that I had tacked to the wall behind the bed. #8843460
