summer break

we finished work and school for the summer and decided it was time to go back to utar and spend some time with family and friends. it was a nice trip. we also happened to make it to the oregon coast with the francis family. we took the pups and there were four others (six dogs total) and we had a good time. the dogs loved the beach, we loved the cheese factory and now we are back in california and back to the grind.

it's a wrap!

i am just pleased as punch! my handsome husband has completed his second term at art center. i couldn't be more proud! colt worked so hard and did so well. we went to the graduation show this weekend and there was some amazing work. colton's work is pretty amazing as well. they asked to submit his type book into the gallery!

meet ernie

well, my dream of owning two dogs became a reality a week ago. i love dogs!!! the search has been a difficult one. about six months ago i learned the horror of puppy mills. i found the most powerful website. (if you are brave, and thinking about buying a puppy from a pet store please check out prisonersofgreed.com) one night colton heard whimpering coming from the back bedroom, he came in to find me sobbing in front of the computer monitor. i was bound and determined from that point on that we had to rescue a dog. the only problem is i have horrible allergies and require some special breeds. (colton said it is a blessing i am so allergic to the average dog or else i would have brought home every dog that was going to be euthanzed in l.a. county) so after some very sad trips to animal rescue fairs, it turns out this little guy was right under my nose! a guy from my work had rescued ernie. he and his wife just had a baby and it was too hard with this little hyper allergenic pup. so now he is mine! moby has a new, adorable, best friend!

p.s. you can't tell in this picture, but he has the most beautiful green eyes! he is a heart breaker.
