The Man of My Dreams – The Love of My Life
4/12/87 – 7/9/09

Peasley was our best friend, long time companion, and family member for 22 years. He was rescued off the street and brought to our home when he was just a little fella. He had the most soulful eyes, loving personality, and there was an instant bond between us. He was named Peewee because of his size, but as he got older that name evolved into the name Peasley. He was a very smart guy and enjoyed spending time in his penthouse, sleeping between the covers, gourmet dining, traveling in his motorhome, and playing with his toys. He was able to open cupboards, turn on radios, maneuver between items without breaking them, and rattle pictures with his paws to wake us up. In his later years, he starred in his own movie, videos, picture book, and his own blog in search for that perfect female companion (http://peasleycat.blogspot.com/). He enjoyed the many emails and pictures sent in by his female admirers and newfound fame.

Peasley was pretty much healthy his whole life. He passed away recently due to complications caused by cancer. We had him a long time, but not long enough. His love was unconditional. We miss him tremendously and will remember him forever. He will always be: The Man of My Dreams – The Love My Life.

(**I will also email you a picture. Thanks**)

I really hope I win as I think it would be a GREAT gift for my brother and his new wife.

I think your drawings are just beautiful-so lifelike! My sister tuned me into your website and now I’ve joined you on facebook too! You are very talented! I would like to email you a picture of one of our dogs(although they are both very special!) I’ll be sending you a picture of Mystic Show Pony Girl(her AKC) Pony for short. She is a Chinese crested hairy hairless. She is a sweet little dog who loves everyone! Thanks!!! Sharon

I like how you did the leaves, so they wouldn’t detract at all from Samson’s portrait. Just lovely. :clapping:
