pets

Having my cat and dog are really my first pets I have had.
I had a dog when I was younger but I was too young to understand what having a pet is all about.
I was not really mature enough to take care of a pet at that time. Frankly I'm not really that mature now, but in different ways (for examples you should follow me on twitter).
But now, I have a dog and a cat and I love them both and they seem to love me.
They still amaze me in how much they understand and express how they feel.

Recently, a co-worker has a 15 year old dog that has cancer. unfortunately they cannot perform any surgery so the dog is taking medicating and they are not sure how much longer the litte guy has. Its so upsetting to hear. It hurts more when I think about my dog going through that.
But I try not too. She's still young.
Don't think I forgot about my cat. I LOVE her too. she was around 4 years before my dog even existed.

squeeze

Sometimes with my pets I get Lenny moments (from Grapes of Wrath) where I want to hug them and kiss them and squeeze them.
Maybe too much.
Sometimes I do hug my pets.
But then they look at me funny and run away from me.
How dare they judge me!
After everything I have done.


On another note, I'm going on vacation.
For all those people who are thinking, sweet, she'll be out of the house.
HA! I have a friend watching over the house and the cat.
Beat that!
Beat it!

Also, who is sick of all the Mike Jackson news?! Isn't there something more news worthy out there???????
Anyone?

Also also, when I come back I hope to get some new projects running for me to sell on etsy.
Let's hope they are worth the buy.
Plus, I need to get some stuff ready for consignment at a brick and mortar boutique that I'm going to participate in.

Buy my stuff!
I'm not subtle.

forgetful places, forgetful faces

I realized that with pictures, I tend to neglect my cat.
Which is surprising, because she is such an easy model.
Plus my cat has an absolutely gorgeous orange coat.

If she was alive, she would act like a Hepburn.
So dignified and beautiful. Only with orange/redish hair.

lately she has been craving attention. She is usually never a lap cat, but lately she has been. Plus she has been greeting me every morning.
Its kind of nice actually.
But if I don't give her enough attention, she pukes.

I have lately been drawing lots of faces.
So I figured, I would make them into pin form.

I haven't listed them to sell yet. I'm focusing my store on clothing and tote bags.
I think I am going to start to sell pins solely on my website.
That is if I can get my sorry ass to sit down in front of a computer to get it done.

I also revamped my website.
There are a lot of things that need to be done on it and I'll probably end up changing the whole layout by next month.
But at least I have something new up.
