  113. Rocco the bulldog and green : ) Ok, so I know you're randomly choosing a winner, but I'm going to give you back story for a shot at winning by pulling at your heartstrings. The painting would be for a good friend who adopted my bully, Rocco. After she took him he had major kidney stone issues and she's had to pay like $2k in vet bills (a lot for us poor folks who work in news). I'd love to give her this gift. We couldn't have afforded to give him that care (and well, it's super expensive for her, too), but she has been so generous and has saved Rocco's life! Pick us! : D
