Yes, our dog has only three legs and she used to love kids. Now she's getting too grouchy to relize that. After a vet talked with my perants they desided to put her down. So I took a few pictures of her and then tryed my best on another oil pastel.
Hiya! Sorry to hear about your dog, it looks unbelievably cute.
I actually quite like your kind of cartoon-y style, but I would only recommend distinguishing colours from each other (gold and black) if there is little or no blend, otherwise it's very nice.
Best of luck for Shilo,

I'm sorry about your dog. I had to put my cat down, so I can imagine how you might feel.
The picture is really nice. I liked the way you didn't use black outlines.
Is that a photo of the painting, though? It looks as though that might be what it is, since one side is lighter, as if there was a flash. It seemed as though it were paler than it should be in real life. Scanners can do that too, but photos of artwork are notorious for it.
Anyway, I liked it. It did look like the photo of the subject.
