Cancer

There is a sentence what I hear too often "cancer for it different forms is very common, so there is almost no family what haven't lost a loved one to this illness". But it usually been told about humans. Although this sentence is true for your "animal" relatives as well.

My dear pet, my Missi, has cancer. She is 12 years old, a Dalmatian and recently we heard the final diagnose. She has a very common form of bone cancer in her left front paw. Apparently middle and large size dogs tend to develop this type of cancer.
She is still happy, eats well and even chases cats during every evening walk, but it's being more and more difficult for her with  only three properly working legs.

We can't know how long she will live, it's a matter of months. I hope that I will be able to get home at time before she will go to her final sleep.
Meanwhile we'll enjoy the regular walks and be happy when she is happy!

I was supposed to work more on my "Foxes of the Seasons" project, I am not sure what I will be able to concentrate on it right now.

My lesson from this drawing, the textured side of the paper is not for me.

My second lesson is that pastel in general is not for me. 

I live the final result but I spent much more time on this one than I supposed to just because I decided to work with pastels. I know that I still will work with this media from time to time but it's definitely not my favorite. This drawing just had to be done with pastels, so I didn't gave up.
