I drew this same subject over four years ago, and on May 7th of
this year I tried it again, starting with a bare beginning of a
drawing that I had started on a larger piece of paper soon after
I made the first drawing...But I had never gotten back to it.
When I drew the first picture, in early 2001, this dog, my
daughter's beagle, Duke, just had a couple of weeks left to live.
Two of my daughter's other beagles are: BART and HUNTER.
