I didn't either. The only reason I agreed originally is because, she weighed less back then and also I thought I'd be able to get away with doing just a head and shoulders portrait.

I found that I couldn't really decide to change my mind and say no now. In the end, I can't fall out with family over it. It certainly wouldn't help the dog. If it was anyone other than family, I'd probably have to turn it down but it's the fact that I had already said I'd do it before...can't say yes and then say no.

I'll just have a to grin and bear it.
