Bracco Club of America

Hi all,
   Well I am back at home now after having a lovely break and spending time with my family...the weather was not too bad which was nice and me Mum had bought my sis and I a birthday cake which we all duly scoffed down....all in all a lovely four days where I walked some, lounged around watching films and basically eating all the things that I should not, oh yay and a few glasses of plonk as well. Have to say though there is nothing like coming home and getting into ones own bed..heaven!

 I did come home to a lovely email from a lady called Valerie Kessler who is the secretary of the Italian Bracco Club of America who had come across my image of Lola. She had kindly asked me if they could use the image on some T shirts to help raise awareness of the breed and their rescue efforts. Recently they have had a few come in who all need to be rehomed, which is quite sad as it is for all dogs. I myself have not seen any of these dogs at the shows apart from Lola, which makes me wonder why that it is as I think they are lovely noble looking dogs, with from what I know a great temperament, however I have seen more of the Italian Spinone which is sort of similar but has wiry fur and I think a heavier build. I do love donating some of my works to good causes whether it be an original piece of work, a digital copy, gift voucher or something more specific, it is a real feel good factor to give something back and I know that a lot of my artist pals feel the same way. I hope my readers will go over and have a look see at their site and I will keep you updated on this story as and when. Oh yes before I forget I do get one of the T Shirts for free which is so nice, and will wear proudly.
