A PAINTING A DAY

Meet Rufo again. My 16 years old German brakko born in our house in Venezuela, South America. He and his mother traveled with us by airplane in 1999, that was a wonderful trip! This was the last time we took him for a walk, fall 2007. He's not going for long walks anymore, his back legs are not holding him up for long periods of time much less for a long walk like he was used to. Let's face it at 112 human years I bet you wouldn't go for long walks either. His spirit is intact and yes he still thinks he's a puppy! not mentioning his hunting spirit. He can't see a squirrel or rabbit without looking at it with the "I'm going to get you" eyes and posture, just like in this painting. He was looking at a small dog. He wasn't going to eat it, just wanted to play with it in case you wondered ;)
