As some of you may recall, awhile back a lady painted a portrait of Max a previous foster dog, well a wonderful group of ladies from BDW got together and purchased that painting for Cain and I.

 

Well I just got an email today that "Dog a Day" did a portrait of our current foster Elsie, she is the new love of my life, she was a breeding dog of a puppy mill and was born there and had many litters there, when we got her she was affraid of everything, grass, people, our hands, everything.. Well in the 3 months that we have been fostering her she has come so far, she now eats out of our hand, cuddles on our lap, learned to chew on a bone and toys for the first time.. Well I can go on an on how much this little girl and warmed my heart. Well I have been bugging Cain to adopting her but by doing so we wouldn't be able to foster anymore since we are already over our pet limit. Well like I said, I get an email today, Elsie is today's feature pet, and I told Cain since he won't let me keep her we have to get this portrait... I told him it would be my Birthday gift.. Can't wait to add it to my "Dog a Day" collection..

 

Here it is...

awwww - that way little Elsie can ALWAYS be with you. i know what you mean about wanting to adopt your fosters. the organization i worked with hated when their foster parents adopted, because then they often wouldn't foster anymore, or at least not as much. you're helping Elsie so much - she's a lucky girl!

That is adorable! She has an amazing talent and I love the fact that you're going to be getting this one as well. It's one of those gifts that you just can't top!
