Bliss was close to death. Dr. Bob called to tell us that we had better come to see her now. We knew what he meant by what he didn’t say.
Inspired by a near tragedy, watercolor, and pen and ink.
This was last June. Mary has posted the entire story on her blog at Sneaking Bliss. I encourage you to read it, especially if you are a dog owner.

The picture of Bliss amongst the mushrooms gives me chills knowing what you and Mary have done to save beautiful little Bliss. I just read Mary’s story; your illustration is stunning. I will keep sending prayers for Bliss while she continues to heal and grow.

She is doing pretty well. We just don’t know how much long term damage may have been done to her kidneys. There could be some effect to her quality of life, but right now things appear good with her.

Amazing parents young Bliss has in her life – just read Mary’s story and am so thankful to also read that Bliss is finally recovering so nicely. It helps to have the two most incredible dog parents out there. So happy to read that she is back at being what young pups do, play then get bushed and start playing all over again! Wonderful painting Tim!
