This post is bitter sweet. I am still upset about the loss of my wonderful, Coastal Carpet mix, Jewel. She always made the deck rail more beautiful not matter the condition of the wood.
Sadly she's never going to be seen on the freshly painted rail.
On a happier note, I can say that 2 days after the rail was painted and dry, Kevin scored his new, post shed paint job.
He matches the rail with his coloring.
Glowing.
When the sun went behind one of the big pines, his nice dark coloring became more visible on his lower 3rd.
I'm looking into some options to add another animal to the collection. Nothing set in stone yet. Jewel can't be replaced. It's funny how an unknown mix for hardly any $$ can check all of the boxes. She was pretty, had the sweetest disposition and was an impressive size.
Thanks for checking out Kevin on the freshly painted rail.
