We recently had to say goodbye to our beautiful and talented Pugcasso and Pugiano superstar, Marie Claire. Pickwick's Cotton Candy in the Sky is blessing folks in heaven now but we will never forget how she made us smile and love during her short 2.5 years on this earth before leukemia took her life. Her novice tricks routine was a Pirate Act and she could identify any pirate object easily (compass? map? jewels?) She also had rally obedience titles and we will always remember her with her beautiful paintings she created, too.

This piece is titled Sunshine Smile ... and tries to capture her beauty and the love she gave us for 2.5 years.

Meet one of the Pugianos, Robert (aka Grand Champion Hill Country's I'll Bee Your Shining Star). Checkout his tricks video to see if he's wearing anything under his kilt!
