Opy - the Original GruffPuppy

What...is...this... !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay pups - whilst I was doing my investigating to see what mum and SHD got up to whilst I was stuck at the kennels with BJP - I came across this - 




Yes, pups - that's right - it's a painted pawtrait of BJP !


I got my magnifying glass out to see if I could solve the mystery of who painted it ? It was very very good - but I was still trying to come to grips with the fact that mum and SHD had a painting of BJP, who hasn't even been with our family for a year yet - and I - Opy, the original Gruffpuppy, have been mum and SHD's loyal companion for nearly 14 freaking years - where's my freaking pawtrait ????


Anyway, I am getting sidetracked her. I saw the initial's on the painting were "AK" and I immediately used my super sleuth (not super sloth !) skills to ascertain that this wonderful painting was done by none other than Asta's mummy.


So, I get on the phone to sweet Asta and say "hey buddy, what's the haps ?", and Asta explained to me that my mum asked her mum to do the painting for my SHD - on account of SHD being so sad when Charlie crossed the Rainbow Bridge, and that SHD says that BJP was his Saviour. Pffffft - whatever, I say !


So, mum sent Asta's mummy a picture that SHD had taken of BJP and that he did that photoshoppy thing to and put Angel wings on it and called it "Saviour Benson". 


Here is the original picture. 




Okay, so if we take away the fact that it is a painting of BJP and not of me - I think we can all agree that Asta's mummy did a fabulous job ! Just check out those eyes - they capture his expression pawfectly !


SHD is helping Asta's mummy with a new website  - but she also has another website too that you can look at her artwork. Mum has promised me that "when things settle down" (as there is lots of "stuff" going on in everyone's lives at the moment), she will get Asta's mummy to do me my very own pawtrait that I can hang in the kennel and that BJP can NOT look at.


Saviour, indeed ! What IS the world coming too ??


Just wait til I tell you some of the other things I have found in my investigating - it will make your furs curl !!!


Love


Opy
the gruffpuppy who warrants being gruff today !

Opy we are sorry you are feeling so very very gruff. We think BJP's pawtrait is brilliant, but like yourself are feeling somewhat miffed Monty has a pawtrait and we don't.

Wow - that is just beautiful. Asta's Mum is very talented. We bet that it won't be long before there is another beautiful painting of you too.

I think any painting by Asta's mommi is a total gem. Sure, it isn't Miss Opy, but it is beautiful nonetheless.

Asta's mommi did a wonderful job on that painting. We all know that are one of a kind and very special to your family. Benson is lucky to have all of you.
