We know this amazing and sweet dog,
Praxis. He is so full of love. He also has cancer. Please
buy art from some of our favorite artists (including my husband, Silvio) to help raise funds to offset his chemotherapy and other medical bills.
From
Michelle, his bi-pedal roommate:
For the next seven days, you can view and bid on ebay for artwork by
some of my favorite artists. They have created and/or donated work
inspired by my dog, Praxis. Most of these artists have met Praxis, or
know how much he's meant to me, and donated their time and talent to my
effort to raise funds to pay for Praxis' chemotherapy and other medical
bills after he was diagnosed with lymphoma in May 2008.
I've
held on to these for a while, maybe too long, and I only kind of know
why. Since the diagnosis, I've been in a strange state trying to wrap
my head around losing a loved one to an illness like cancer. You have
to accept that there's no cure, and that treatment can buy you time,
but there's never a guarantee of quality of life, and certainly no
sense of how long that time will last. Engaging in this artwork, all of
it capturing some part of Praxis and my love for him, brings that home
for me... and I'm not always strong enough to find a way to deal with
the loss that's looming ahead. I think part of me also wants to keep it
all!! Each piece is so fantastic... truly. This is a talented bunch and
I'm incredibly lucky to have these folks as friends. This is an
exciting time in my life. This is the first time I've had so many
creative friends who are successful in their endeavors and inspire the
same in others.
