I am sorry about Vinny. Although all we have are cats and a bunny now, we used to raise mini pins years ago. Animals get to be a part of the family. My 13 year old cat Stubby is layin on the couch next to me. He always has to be close by "his hyoo-mahn" all the time. I know I am gonna be tore up when he goes. My heart goes out to you.
Very nice painting btw.
