That is amazing, truly awesome work everyjuan! If I didn't already have portraits of all of my dogs, I'd absolutely get one! I'll be contacting you next time we get a new dog!
isabel the portrait will be great for your baby to know Guapo. We lost one of our dogs right before my oldest was born and we still have his portrait up. My DD now says "that's Brunson, he was our dog that died when I was in mommy's belly". It's bittersweet, but I love that she still considers him her dog even though she never met him.
And now I'm kind of crying again. This is exactly what I'm hoping for. It's totally bittersweet, but so great at the same time that she knows who he was and you can share stories about him.

That is stunning! I contacted her about doing a portrait of my dog. I'm going through all my pictures of him to try to find the one that "captures" him; goofy, intuitive and so very sweet. I'm also looking into having professional pictures taken of him and some with me in them.
I feel a little awkward bringing this thread to life again, but I just wanted to quickly say thanks again for the kind compliments. Also, I am so sorry, but I've had an unexpectedly crazy day and haven't even had a chance to open my laptop. I promise that I will send PMs tomorrow.
I thought about just posting the link like someone mentioned, but after the crazy stuff that has gone down here lately, my gut just doesn't feel comfortable with it right now. It probably sounds weird or overly paranoid, and maybe it is, but for the time-being I'd feel a bit better having at least a little control over who sees it.
