Emmie admiring her portrait

“Gemma painted a picture of Finley as a gift for our daughter on her 12th birthday. A few tears immediately ran down my cheeks for several reasons, but mainly because I saw my daughter’s happy reaction and also because of seeing Gemma’s talent! This painting hangs above my daughter’s bed and I know she’ll display it forever- our dog has truly become her best friend. Thank you Gemma ♥️.” – Jen, Cedarburg WI
