I haven't updated here in a long time, but I am doing better day by day. I have been taking a new medication (Lamictal) that doesn't appear to be affecting me negatively so far, we'll see what happens when/if my dosage is adjusted from 50mg(I was told it will slowly be increased to minimize negative side-effects).
Chris and I will celebrate our 3rd anniversary in March, and we've been together for 4 years now.
I've drawn one thing I can honestly say that I did entirely because I felt like it, no negative emotions attached.
My dog Dante has grown up, we've acquired 2 more cats Ko'Olina and Sebastian, and Ember is in another home because she was getting the brunt of abuse from our foster cats and Cole with us. It became apparent she should probably be an only-cat or live with other less aggressive animals. Photos of pets and such:

Slate is just a beauty queen and I liked the description of her personality and Jordan is a very handsome GSD, was a Momma's boy as a puppy and looks like quite a ham. So,I settled on a puppy from them. If I get a solid blue female as planned, I will name her Eden.
That is not the official website from the breeder/founder, but one made by the owner of the featured dog Lori who is a foundation stock Blue Bay. Some information may not be entirely accurate, but it is still a good starting point for the breed in progress. I'm quite excited to see the first litter of pups born.
