8 years with Diesel ♥

November 6, 2010 was one of the saddest days of my life. My precious Basset Hound, Diesel passed away. I was blessed to have him for 8 wonderful years & he was the inspiration that started the pop art dog portraits! I never thought a dog could have such an impact on my life! ♥  Thanks to everyone for their kind words through this rough time!
