May your energy and spirit ascend into the Universe, to be used for the greatest good.  May you get to leap fences, romp in the woods, find Bluey and Mama and create the same mischievous mayhem you loved to bring to us.  Thank you for insisting you belonged here. 

We will miss you Sassy Cat.

October 2012

...and life getting in the way. 

That's the end of my description of my blog (see above.)  And boy, has it been happening these past few weeks.  As I wrote to my friend Sarah-bean; my life is never dull.  

Sassy cat, my poor pud, became extremely ill nearly 3 weekends ago  with acute renal failure.  The short version is that we went to emergency vet for the weekend, then eventually got her to regular vet where she had the equivalent of kitty dialysis twice a day for a week.  She came home at night, then back in the morning, til her levels came down enough and her kidneys began working without help. She continues to recover, sleeps a lot, but has her good moments, too.  THAT was another close call with yet another beloved furkid. 

Sassy,  post-"dialysis"

Following that, we had issues with every living creature in this house.  It's any wonder I manage to get anything done at all, and sadly, I often do not.  Since my fur-family members are my "kids," they come first.  I don't know - blue moon in September, the fall equinox, election year, whatever, I'll be glad when things balance out a little more. 

the Boys

On a good note I delivered 30 pieces (oops, forgot one at the studio I had to mail the next day. arghhh) to Smithfield, Va. for a show featuring moi-self along with 5 of my gifted students.  Posts and pics will follow soon.  

So, that airmail journaling class I'm behind in? well, I'm still behind.
