My First Cairn, Ginger

[Scully'sMom]

Seeing the post with the beautiful drawings of the Cairns made me this of this.

My SIL, knowing Ginger wasn't going to live much longer, surprised me with this beautiful drawing she did of her. She took lots of photos of her and then drew her for me. It's one of my prized possessions.

Thanks for letting me share her with you all!

I can see how that portrait is a prized possession! Ginger's face was lovingly drawn and I can just imagine how much she is missed at your house. What a sweet drawing...I'm so glad that your SIL was so caring.

Wow! That was really nice of your SIL!

[Scully'sMom]

I'm glad you liked it. My SIL is such a sweetheart and that really proved it!

What a wonderful SIL you have!!

She really captured Ginger's loving Cairn eyes.....makes me miss my little girl, Toto, so very much.

.....makes me miss my little girl, Toto, so very much.

I'm sorry Cathy, I didn't mean to upset you! I'm betting your Toto and my Ginger are playing together.

Isn't is wonderful to have someone in your family capture your beloved pet? Just like my sister captured my precious Lab, (picture is under the "what do you collect?" post), your SIL did a great job capturing your Ginger. Oh to have such talent.

[CathyAnn]

Thanks, Scully's mom.

I know you didn't mean to upset me. I am sure you miss your Ginger as much as I miss Toto. I bet they are playing together .

I never met your loved babies - but after reading these posts - I can only imagine how much you miss them. Thanks for sharing your drawing. Precious gift.

I was hesitant to open this as I'm still a bit raw from Ellie May passing nearly three years ago! (14 yo Ridgeback)

My sis-in-law painted her picture for me. It's my favorite.

Very nice memorial - thanks for letting us see it!

[Scully'sMom]

Dawynya, I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Scully's,

She looks like a nice lady you would sit with on an old-fashioned porch.

(I don't know why, but I can look at animals and see them as people.)

Beautiful picture. Thank you for sharing.

What a beautiful drawing and fitting tribute to a great Cairn!

Thanks for sharing that with us!

When you look at the drawing it's as though she were still with you.

I have been trying a new way of dealing with grieving for a pet. I try to focus on good memories and try to be grateful for having been able to share their life. But it is hard sometimes.

Thanks for sharing your pic, great SIL you have there.

It's funny that you say that. Ginger would sit for hours out front with me in the spring and summer on the patio while I read. She loved to sit on the front steps so she could see everything going on in the neighborhood. When my neighbors, two doors down would come out she'd want to go visit and she'd look at me like "Can I go Mom?" I'd tell her "Go ahead" and she'd walk nicely across the next door patio to get to the neighbors. Then they'd tell her "Okay, it's time to go home" and she'd walk nicely back to the house.

We'd laugh and say we were going to put a purse around her neck because she looked like a woman who was going visiting!

[abe's dad]

that is a great story!!!

I can just see her prissing so ladylike and daintily on her way...great memory.

[abe's dad]

You have such a sweet SIL! I love your picture of Ginger and I know it brings you great joy to look at it while it brings her precious memories back to you.
