    Angie,
    I love your Art and your dog. I often tell people who inquire about my pup, is he mean, does he mind, doesn’t he shed that Jackson is my closest adult friend and I live with his faults and he unconditionally lives with mine.

    I hope the link works. It leads you to ‘A pets Ten Commandments’ displayed
    by amarica. Bubble me and tell me you read them without crying. I’m still looking for some one who is real tough..

    http://images-0.redbubble.net/img/art/size:ularge/view:main/2012230-2-bob-and-the-dogs.jpg
    This is a pic of me and Jackson who is sitting beside me, his wife Rachel the pup to the right and their daughter who will be 1 year old on 11-28-2008.

    They played all afternoon like old friends. When you give a pup away you gain friends. The folks who adopted lilly are wonderful.

    Thanks for letting me share and keep up the great work!!

    Bob
