Blue Boy Basset reminds me of a friend. Long face, big nose, despondent look.

Dennis! I didn’t know you knew Larry too!
Ooops…. I mean…um…. John…. that’s it… John….
cos I’d NEVER say someone’s real name on the internet.
(Sorry, Larry… really.
Oops…. I mean… John…)
BTW, thanks for your comment yesterday…..
and Nighthawks, thanks to you, too, for finding a nice word for it.
I’ll take “tenacious”… since some call it “obsessive.”

As for Blue Basset and Pinkie Paws…
So lovely, aren’t they?
Seeing them together, many dogs and people think the two paintings were done by the same artist.
But no… though they share the same first name,
Blue Basset was painted by Tommy Gainesburger,
and Pinkie Paws by Tommy Labrador.
