Nyoko won the dog lottery


I have a new studio companion, his name is Nyoko (japanes : gem). After having been without our Wanda, she passed away 1.5 years ago, Nyoko came into our lives. He was rescued by the 'golden retriever rescue' , yes they also take in flat coated retrievers. We do not know much about his past, except that he has been mistreated badly.He also had heart-worm a difficult disease to treat. But he pulled through with the help of his most wonderful foster family. They helped him forget his past, at least part of it.
Nyoko is like Wanda's brother, just bigger! He is the most wonderful dog, I think every dog owner claims the same of his or her dog. But he truly is. He has cute 'freckles' and almost yellow eyes, is as gentle as you can imagine, and just loves to be in the studio with me. We are as happy as we can be!
My new big piece will be finished in his presence.
