5 years later

Today marks 5 years since Cinnamon died. We're gonna go get ice cream like we do every year in her memory, cause it was her favorite thing.

4 Years Later

Its been for years now without Cinnamon. 

I always enjoy making a new piece of art each year to commemorate her.

My daughter is almost two now and I really wish they could have met..

Cinnamon

 Three years ago today Cinnamon passed away.
I've been trying to draw something every year on this day to spend some time thinking about her. We went to McDonalds today too and got some soft serve cones and listened to this song on the drive home. I'm not sure why but that song is kinda 'Cinnamon's song' and she loved eating those ice cream cones so its a nice tradition to remember her by.

Sad day

Cinnamon with her favorite toy, "her baby" as we called it.

Today makes two years since she passed away. I spent some time today reminiscing at the dog park we used to take her to all the time, she loved it there.  Right after she died we got a stone engraved there in memory of her and its nice to go and see it from time to time. 

One Year Later

Feb 5th marks one year since Cinnamon passed away.
Quite a difficult day for us, hard to think its been such a long time since we had her with us, and such a short time too.
We miss her every single day.

I drew this from one of my favourite pictures I have of her, sitting and looking up at me.

Cinnamon

Today makes it six months without Cinnamon. I miss her every single day.

Cinnamon

My dog of 15 years, Cinnamon, passed away on Friday February 5th.
A month ago she was diagnosed with having a bone tumor on her pelvis. She has had difficulty walking since around the middle of November, and we found out that tumor was the cause, she was on heavy pain medication and that helped her for a while, but in the past 2 weeks her decline was rapid.

This isn't art, but I wanted to post pictures of her because she was such an important part of my life, every day she would be at my feet under my desk while I worked, and for the past many years she was the best friend anyone could ever hope to have. She loved you no matter what and asked nothing in return. She was more of a person to me than a dog.

I will miss her dearly and just wanted to share her with people who viewed my blog.
My wife and I chronicled her life on her own blog for the past year or so, you can see some more pictures there: cinnamonstarcorley.blogspot.com

These pictures are some taken on the last day we took her to the park.

I love her so much.

Christmas Cards

Merry Christmas to everyone out there who reads my blog.
Hope your Holidays in what ever form you celebrate, are grand.

If anyone is into praying please pray for my dog Cinnamon, shes been having trouble with her left hind leg, real bad arthritis and her birthday is coming up on Christmas Eve and I want her to be feeling better as soon as possible.

Thanks.

Here are some quickie cards I drew.
One for the naughty, and one for the nice.

I removed the art cause everyone was stealing it and selling it as products

Make Something Cool Everyday

Simple stuff really, I don't spend more than my lunch hour each day making these.
