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.

where am I?

I'm busy.
Etsy and other parts of my life have been on hold due to taking care of a puppy.
I'll be back after Wednesday.
But even then I'll be busy.
Busy cleaning.
Friends from Washington are coming to stay for a week VERY SOON.
So I'll be fading in and out of existence until May.






P.S - I'll miss this little guy

Pugs are the best.
They are so ugly they are adorable!


I'm dog sitting this little guy for a week.
I'm on day 2 and he's snorted his way into my heart.
The first night was quite a treat when he snored, loudly!
It was like my grandpa was sleeping in the room.
The next day he was playing tug-of-war with my dog and he was growling, but it sounded like he was trying to speak Hebrew and there's a Jewish man trapped inside his body.

man I love dogs!

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.

broken minds

My dog broke her thumbnail right down to the skin.
Most of it came off and I had to bring her to the vet to get the rest of it off.

She wasn't happy.

But she does have this absolutely adorable bandages that are pink with purple hearts.
She hates it but its funny to watch her walk alkwardly with it on.
I think she knows I'm laughing at her.


She's all ok though. Apparently its fairly common during the winter months.

On a completely different note, I decided to have a 20% off sale in my etsy shop.
Check it out.

Sigh... I always feel weird plugging my site.
