Hello Everybody!
By the time most of you see this it will be after the first of May. May is a great time of year for me it's the start of my spring shows, Winter is over, and Summer's coming. I finally get to leave my shop and get out on the road and start doing more shows. It is also a very busy time of year for me. It's the time of the year I start building up my inventory, start thinking of new drawings to do and, and since I haven't been making any money in the past four months (Who has?) I start coming up with new and great designs in matting and framing with the inventory I have available. I feel like this is the time year when I, for lack of a better way to describe it, come out of hibernation. It's always great catching up with other crafters that I meet on the road and you folks who I see year after year.
Now on a very sad note our puppy Greta has moved on. Jeanne and I decided to put her down. She was fifteen years old and having some problems, She was going blind, deaf, and she got to the point where if she fell on the hardwood floor she couldn't get up and would lay there until some one would come and help her up. She was also incontinent and couldn't tell not only when, but where she was doing her business. It's really amazing how attached a person can become to a dog, or any pet for that matter. We loved that little girl. Before we went to the Veterinarian to have her put to sleep we knew in our minds it was the right thing to do. But when you get there and the reality and the finality of what we were doing sets in, it rips you up inside. You realize that a part of your family is gone. We had her for 15 years. People say that it's like loosing a child, well it's not like loosing a child, it couldn't be, at least not to me, but a part of my life is gone. We rescued Greta with the help of the A.S.P.C.A. in Placerville, CA. If you are looking for a dog for your family please check with the animal control or shelters in your area. There are so many dogs and cats that need a family to love and take care of them. By the way Jeanne and I just watched the movie Marlie And Me. Boy was that the wrong choice at this time. It was a great movie and it illustrated very well how it feels to put a dog to sleep. Jeanne, Nicole and I are going to miss our Greta terribly.
Another consideration would be to get in touch with Never Cry Wolf Rescue and adopt a wolf or wolf hybrid. Sam Blake, the founder of N.C.W.R. always has more animals than he can find homes for. If you can't take an animal home then PLEASE DONATE what ever you can to help Sam offset the expenses with the wolves.
Thank you all for everything. I look forward to seeing you all again this coming year.
