The story behind this painting just has to be told. It's really funny when you think about it. One of my sons former girlfriends wanted a painting of a shelter dog she had taken in. She named the dog "Delilah". But Delilah was sick and had very little energy. ***** carried her everywhere and did anything she could to help the poor dog get better. Delilah passed away due to the Parvo virus which is very common in homeless dogs. ***** was devistated to say the least. She cried for days. On her birthday a few weeks later her parents bought her a blonde long-haired dauschand...but she still missed her Delilah. So, being the loving mother that I am, I decided to paint Delilah for **** for her birthday. You should have seen her face when she opened THIS painting. She said, "mom, that's not Delilah." I was shocked. This photo was on her Facebook page and she always kept the dog in a pink blanket. Long story short, I later painted the REAL Delilah and **** was very happy with her new painting. I thought about painting over the name "Delilah" on this painting but decided it needed to stay...after all, everyone loves a good story! *DONATED TO CARTI OF ARKANSAS 'TUXES AND TREES' AUCTION 2011
