Folks, it was waiting for me at the PO--couldn't wait to get it home and open it up. Punky's oil painting by Syd. Had to delay the unveiling for about half an hour: Billy did not put Deli in her crate this morning--did she have a ball! She ripped up a mystery I was reading, got into the garbage and peed on the dog furniture! Oh well. The wait was worth it--when I opened the box it was like Punky had come alive again! I cried for 15 minutes and Deli licked the tears away. I am not an artist, but can only tell you that this picture is perfection itself. Flawless. Thank you Syd.
