That golden-collie mix in my logo is Toby. My family rescued him when I was a little 2nd grader and we quickly became best friends. Toby had a high-pitched girly woof, was obsessed with "w-a-l-k's," and had the biggest brown eyes that loved on your soul with every look. 

 

We lost Toby in the summer of 2017 after several months of declining health. He lives on in my heart, memories, and now in the inspiration for my small business.

 

I know how it feels to have unconditionally loved and mourned a perfect, special animal. Making Toby's portrait my logo is my constant reminder and promise to paint every pet as if they were my own.
