Ok, just part of my OCD....THANKS MARGO!


Ok, this has been going on since yesterday. When Margo posted this little picture. There are a certain # of horses hidden throughout. Let me know how many you find because I know how many I found. I also know what the ACTUAL answers SUPPOSEDLY are.
Let's see if we can come to a consensus. I think there are more than even the artist SAYS.

Margo's Turtle

A watercolor, not quite parade of turtles but a turtle for my friend Margo. I finally found an image that inspired me. They are aMAZING creatures!

Enjoy Margo! Thanks so much for your continued kindness!

My So-Called Claire

Puppy Drama and whatnot....


So this is my pup, post surgery. She's been really good about being home and not licking those darn stitches. She had her whole knee fixed. A torn cruciate ligament is a big deal in her type of dog (Lab/Aussie Shepherd mix). We aren't supposed to let her run or jump. She can take slow leashed walks to get her used to using the leg again.

Lana is a very, I mean VERY active dog. For her to be forced not to run or do any of her usual stuff has been really hard on her. She loves to play fetch and just run in general. We have to wait 4 weeks until she can do any of that stuff again.

She gets her stitches out Friday and she can swim if she wants to, but still no running.....

Ya know, I always find it fascinating how attached we become to our pets. Lana is my best friend. I talk to her like a friend and she puts up with my chatter. It's weird. I don't know what I'd do without her.

Anyway, that's what has been going on in my life lately. On a slightly different note, I went to the mall on Saturday. Not really a big deal to most, but for someone like me who has a case of agoraphobia, it was a monumental achievement! I am soo proud of myself! I haven't been to the mall in years and I used to LOVE to go!

Ok, that's enough dribble for today. I hope to get back to my usual artsy type posting soon. Thanks for stopping by!

Peace!!
