Tell us about yourself: Artist, Mother, Equestrienne, Educator, Homesteader wannabe, dog-lover. Not counting my current DS, I have had 2 GSDs and 3 rescued mixed-breeds. All of these dogs were rescues, except for my childhood GSD, who was a gift from my parents when I was 7, and my current DS who I bartered artwork for from the breeder. Maiyou, one of my current dogs, is a Pitbull/New Guinea Singing Dog of 13 years old. Still very active and "Young" in nature. I now also have a DS named Mokume, (pronounced "Moh-koo-meh") or "Moko" for short. Newest member of our pack is Freyja, a random mixed hound I rescued during a horseback trip in the middle of a state forest.

Sorry, meant to do this ages ago, will have more photos eventually too. I know my participation on this board is sporadic, anyway, and it will be more so as I deal with an upheaval in my personal life. My fiancee of 3 years (been friends for 12 years or so, a romantic couple for four, and engaged for 3...) has decided he is leaving. So I am trying to grapple with that and also figure out how best to help my son (6 going on 7) cope, as Jon has been in his life since he was 2. That was last week. But we are still having to share the house for at least another 2-3 weeks while he figures out where he's going. Thankfully it is not ugly and he is being as kind as a human can be about leaving another, but I am still reeling.

In addition, I have just learned that my beloved horse, Shaman, who is 24 and my first horse and has seen me through all manner of life, will probably be leaving me soon. He had an eye removed in October, and just days ago it has come to my attention that his other eye is beginning to fail, now. The vet and I both agree that at his age and way of life, it would be unfair to put him through more surgery and force him to adapt to full blindness. I am fortunate in that he is very healthy and strong, otherwise, and if luck holds, will still get to have one last summer with him. But I am grappling with that sense of impending loss as well. I am okay, and will be, and being able to work with Moko is awesomely therapeutic, but I may be even less active, here than before. :tired:

Moving on, photos! My booth at the craft show, and some DS-themed fun. A Mask and Winestopper (as we all love to talk about how our dogs drive us to drink! :pint: By the by... Moko did NOT know what to think of the mask... :lol: ) More photos of other art when I get to it. No promises when.
