Waited a little bit until later morning to go running today, for the temps to warm up, and so glad I did.  I was fortunate to meet up with a nice man walking a saluki and a whippet!  Stopped for a moment to talk sighthounds, and turns out he is the husband of a saluki breeder here in town, and they have a litter of pups!  Not sure if that is a good ( Read more... )

I had 5 (yes 5!) partners for the 2008 EBSQ Pet Portrait Show.  I did manage to finish up 3 of those entries in time to make the deadline, 2 of those entries I have yet to finish will be entered in the EBSQ Better Late Than Never show in December (thank goodness for that one!)

The Pet Portrait show is a swap show, we partner up and exchange photos ( Read more... )

Funny, a friend of mind on LJ, lamiller63 , posted about her coffee tasting like liquid pudding, French Vanilla.  I share that with her, only mine is in tea.  My husband has made fun of me because I will steep a cup of tea forever....actually, I just brew it in a coffee pot and the tea bags just sit in the pot to steep.  So what??  I figure, industrial ( Read more... )

Weird...last night I was thinking of updating on things around here, especially about Mojo.  Colette, she's doing better, though still has blood in her urine.  She's staying on antibiotics for another week then will be getting dropped off at the clinic next week to recheck her urine and an x-ray and possible ultrasound.  Sara's ear has improved.  ( Read more... )

Just listed my piece for the Nibblefest Contest on Ebay, this month's theme is "A Dog's Life".  This original 8x10 oil painting, textured and loose and oh so fun to do, is a portrait of my dogs Mardi Gras and Gumbo, going on one of our walks that they so love.  This auction is only a 5 day auction, so, don't miss it!  And don't miss the other ( Read more... )

I figured I should get a cat pic back up here, it's been a while.  Spending my days it seems this week taking care of sickies.....poor Mojo, just getting him to eat.  I now have a cat, Colette,  with a urinary tract infection, discovered that last night.  I have a bacterial infection at the moment, and, Bil has a sore throat.  sigh.  Almost makes ( Read more... )

"If you aren't the lead dog, the view never changes"

I don't know who said that, but, I couldn't help but think of it as fitting as I walked behind Mardi Gras and Gumbo last night.

 Went to a birthday party for a good friend last night.  Had a really nice time, saw a bunch of people I haven't seen in a while, which is always fun, met up with some aquaintences from other similar get-togethers and renewed those as well.  Met a few new and intriguing people, one of whom was a guy that recognized my tattoo work on my arm, funny ( Read more... )

Been a while since I've posted, obviously.  So, I'm fixing that!   Here's a recent painting I've just completed, a donation for a silent auction to benefit our local humane society.  Glad I was able to help them out, in my own way.  They do great work there, and I've also adopted some wonderful cats and dogs from them over the years, most recently ( Read more... )
