Artist's Description
Meet 'Gizmo' or 'Gizzy' as our family usually calls her. She is owned by my youngest niece, Emma.

She is the blackest little thing and she is a fur-ball...I knew it would be a daunting task. Christmas seemed like the perfect time.

Oh, Laura, how darling!!! You can even see the pads of his little paws because they're all puppy chubby. You've captured such a mischiveous light in his eyes. Gizmo is such a perfect name for him and you did a truly wonderful job!!! FAV!!
Laura Grisham replied:
Gizzy isn't even really a puppy...he's just so very tiny he still looks like one! He also stands up on his back legs and paws at the air with his front legs. It looks likes he is dancing!! Guess what... my son just reminded me...Gizmo is a GIRL! lol...Guess I need to revise my description. Thanks for your encouragement!
