Just off the Easel: Jack the "Bassador"

Here is another pet portrait...two dog-themed blog posts in one day!

Jack is a Labrador and Basset mix, hence the nickname his parents gave him of "Bassador."  After some rough patches, Jack has thankfully found a great family and is a happy, loving pup!  It is a testament to the love a rescued pet gives to the people who give him a chance in a wonderful home.  


Our own dog, Penny, was a rescue from a no-kill shelter in Liberty, NC.  She has been a loving friend and companion for almost ten years!  It was in February 2002 that Nick and I adopted her, just 4 months after getting married...she was and always will be our "first baby!"
