Good Morning!​

First time here in Group! My name is Christine, recently retired after 16yrs in my last employment [Company was sold & moved almost 1hr away, too far for me to drive each way ] and have lived on the beautiful Northern Beaches of Sydney my entire life!

Mother of 2 daughters, Grandmother of 12 and Great Grandmother of 9 [all living on the Central Coast]. I have a beautiful dog [Patch] who is a Lhasa Apso / Shitzu! He keeps me sane and since being home every day has become very clingy by not letting me out of his sight, but that is alright as I love him to bits and I am all he has since losing his brother Mackie, a Maltese @ aged 18yrs !

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with loved ones and if not, you are not alone, it can be a trying time to get through! I was lucky to have Patch with me!

I wish you all a very Happy New Year and hope that 2023 will bring you all Happiness & Love Cheers x

Hello there
This is my most treasured portrait of my very much loved 3 boys <3
Mackie - Maltese baby who I had from a wee pup until 2019 when he passed @ age 18
Zac - Lhasa Apso baby also from a wee pup until 2012 passing @ age 11 from cancer.
Patch - Lhasa Apso / Shitzu brought home as a wee pup after losing Zac as Mackie's grief after losing his brother was immense and a loving bond was formed <3 Patch is now 10 yrs old and God willing will be with me for many more years!
The portrait itself is in watercolours and was painted by an artist from 3 separate photographs after both Zac & Mackie had passed. I hope you like it as much as I love it. Cheers!
