Let’s go, Tycho!

Painting of Tycho, a Chihuahua mix, looking out the window from his blanket fort

The last month has been full of bad news for pets, both mine and that of my friends. The ongoing series of tragedies has been hard to receive. I decided to make this painting to celebrate the spirit of one of the dogs hard hit in this time. I present to you Tycho, AKA Tychopath, a little dachshund mix a friend rescued from a literal gutter. He is chock full of enthusiasm and love, is a passionate chewer and tug-of-war gamer, and never met a stuffie he couldn’t eviscerate. He is all heart. He is fighting his way through a grievous injury. I think if anyone can muster the spirit to recover, he can. I look forward to every crumb of positive news.
