Laddie sleeping by Claire Bartlett

Good luck to him and you. You can always work the sketch up into a painting and have a permanent memorial, but somehow these quick sketches always seem to mean more, when you come to look back on them.

Lovely. Is he a liver pointer? Bless you both. The end of the road for him may be a new beginning, and he will always be with you somehow, I think.

Just what I do with all my dogs. My thoughts are with you as you face the inevitable; always such a difficult time watching them fade. This is a wonderful representation and will give you years of smiles when you look back.

Well you have caught him looking very contented, just how you will remember him.

brought a lump to my throat! we've recently lost our dear old labrador.your old friend looks wonderfully contented, a lovely picture!!
