| What a beautiful tribute to Nandi. I am sitting hear with tears in my eyes, thinking about how Nandi's inspiration led to such beautiful art for the whole world to enjoy. I'm sure she is looking down at all of us with a happy wag of her tail. She will live on forever in our hearts and through Louise's beautiful artwork. |
| Wow - I had to do a double take. Nandi very much resembles my own blue girl. What a nice way to say good-bye. I am sure she is resting peacefully. |
| Wow, What a fantastic tribute to a Marvelous Dane. Nandi's tribute web site brought both tears & joy to my heart I will suffer her loss along with her family even thought I did not know her. It makes me want to hug & kiss my own Great Dane even more than normal . Thank you Ginnie for continuing to have these wonderful tributes to Danes that have touched our lives and moved on. It is so important when you know that your own Dane will pass on some day. Thank you |
| I knew I would not be able to get through this dadane without crying my eyes out. Thank you Ginnie and Louise and Chris for sharing your girl with us. May Nandi room free now in heaven. |
| Louise,
I am so sorry for your loss. When I lost my Dane, Pita Pie, my friends pitched in and bought me a pewter of "Deer Fly" to remember her by. It is something I will treasure for always. I think it is terrific that Nandi will continue to be your muse. At least we know she is in VERY good company at the Rainbow Bridge, as many folks that frequent this site have lost some very special Danes through the years. Hang in there. |
| Nandi reminds me so much of Lucy. Lucy was 13 when we had to "put her down". We were able to do it at home on her blanket, holding her head. That was over 2 years ago........I surpised myself by breaking into tears as I read Nandi's tribute. Thanks for the good memories this allowed me. |
| I feel so bad for your loss. Losing my sweetheart thunder is my biggest fear. he is almost 3 and is the center of our family. |
| How fortunate we are that Louise is a Gr.Dane owner! Otherwise, most of us probably would have never had the pleasure to see, let alone own and enjoy, her fabulous art work. |
| Ingrid, I agree.
Louise, your beloved muse, Nandi, has given so many of us Dane lovers a special gift. The gift of your incredible art work. I treasure what I have. |
| I read Nandi's story and cried what a lovely dane my baby is only a year and a half old and she is the best I cannot even think about life without her. Your art is wonderful and your Nandi was beautiful. Thank you for sharing her story. |
| What a wonderful and lasting gift Nandi has given to us, through Louise and her own very special gift. The dane community is very fortunate. Every time I look at one of Louise's lovely pieces in my house, I will think of Nandi and how much she was loved by Louise and Chris, and how much she contributed to all of us in her own special way. |
| What a lovely tribute to a beautiful dog. I am so sorry for your loss - I just recently discovered your scuptures and fell in love with "Shall we dance?". I too recently lost my dane and this particular sculpture takes me back to our time together. |
| I share in your loss and am in tears as I read this. What a lovely tribute to a special dane. I lost my blue girl in March and have missed her tremendously. I just ordered "lean on me" as it so reminded me of my beloved Chloe. Thanks to Nandi for being your inspiration and helping you create such lovely art. Cherish that she had such a wonderful beginning and ending to her life. |
| A loving tribute to a beautiful Dane. I'm a fan of Louise's artwork - each piece captures the emotion of a perfect moment in time. I'm teary-eyed as I type this - I sympathize with the loss of Nandi's passing, yet I have to smile at the loving bond between Louise and Nandi that will live forever in her work. Ginnie - thanks for featuring lovely Nandi, and Louise - thanks for sharing her with us. Best wishes. |
| What an incredible tribute to a wonderful Dane. I lost my blue Dane, Mozart, over 2 years ago and I can see a little of him in every photo of Nandi. Even though I have a new Dane in my life, nothing will ever replace my best friend of 12 years. My slowly growing collection of Louise' art is a daily reminder of what great times we had together! Louise -Thanks for sharing your love of Danes, and hang in there. Every day will get a little easier. |
| Thank you for sharing Nandi with us. How wonderful that her feminine, expressive face will live on in Louise's sculptures. |
| Louise and Chris: I share in your feelings on your loss. A week ago, I had to lay to eternal rest my beloved 11 year old Dino. Having him since he was 8 weeks old, we became quite attached. God I miss him. I pray that there is a heaven for our deceased friends. |
