August 9, Grela!

And this is Grela!  I originally painted her background purple, but this brighter and more energetic background seemed better suited!

Here's what Monique wrote about this beautiful girl~ 

Summer of 2011, we walked into a shelter (our 4th that day) and our teenage son Austin went straight to Grela - I swear we could see cartoon hearts coming out of their eyes - and the two became a "pack." Grela was 5-ish... I say "ish" because she had 2 possible birthdates, and when she crossed the rainbow bridge in April 2021, she was either 15 or almost 17 depending on which date camp you're in. Either way, she spent most of her life at Austin's side, and got to be a very old lady for a husky (possible mix, some have suggested wolf!). She was a "diva" and loved to chase birds, gophers, bunnies & bobcats... even caught a few. She was a good, happy dog and we miss her so much, but we were lucky to have had her in our lives as long as we did.
