Goodbye My Baby Jo

My little toy poodle Jo had to be put down Friday the 19th. Even though I had her only a little over a year and a half, I was so close to her that I am stumbling around trying to figure out what I will do without her. She was such a tiny little thing at 8 lbs. I don't know what happened to her but she had lost 3.5 lbs which was 1/3 of her body weight. And she was anemic. I decided not to do testing as I would not have the money to treat her if it was cancer or kidney problems which the doctor suspected. And she seemed to be in pain so I let her go. Now to figure out how to let her go in my heart.

I have set a new challenge for myself. I will be doing an animal a day for April. I have completed 2 today to catch up. The first is graphite, watercolor, and colored pencil.
