"Ozzie"  30x40 Acrylic on canvas

Sold

There is a subliminal saying in this painting.  It is blended with the background so that you cannot quite make it out unless you are up close.  The translation is "The only lost day is the day that you don't laugh."  Ozzie is a PBGV.

These pups have a lot to live up to now that they are representing the First Dog.  No problem for this incredibly smart pair.  Bo has nothing on them.  They have their own in ground swimming pool...nice, eh?
