I’m up on the wall!
No. 1 and No. 2 decided that they wanted to look at me up on the wall, in addition to looking at me in person all the time.
A nice human came over, and she brought her young human and guess what, they have a phalene! A phalene is just exactly like a papillon except their ears go down instead of up. My long lost cousin!
Angel and me getting treats from the young human.
After the visit, pretty soon my portrait arrived and No. 2 stuck it up on the wall.
Very handsome if I do say so myself.
Woofs,
Willie
No. 1 here… the fabulous pet portraitist is Tamara Burnett.
No. 2 here… I am so glad that we had Tamara paint this picture. (It was my birthday present to No. 1!) After becoming acquainted with Willie, she mostly worked from a photo. When Tamara first brought the painting to us, it somehow didn’t look quite right. Then we figured out what was missing. There is a tiny spot on the left side of his nose, which was not really visible in the photo. We asked Tamara to paint it in, and then suddenly … wham! It was Willie! It was amazing to me that such a tiny detail could make such a big difference. I really appreciated Tamara’s willingness to work with us to get this keepsake just right.

Paws up Toby! I think you’re my cousin! Myself I was an only puppy but I hear that phalenes can even be born in the same litter as papillons!
Woofs,
Willie

How interesting! We didn’t know such dogs existed. Did a double take in case it was April 1st and then looked phalene up on google. I am a King Charles cavalier. I am a great fan of yours living in U.K.
