That tattoo looks so cool and so you! I can't wait to see it coloured.

Ah I'm so in love with your new tattoo piece, I maybe said that already. Lucy and Opus look very majestic! How are your animal and art and learning plans going? I got onto this course but in the end I decided not to do it because of money so I'm trying to do volunteer things in the areas I'm interested in and to try and get moving with painting again. However I don't see why no one want to be my benefactor and pay for me to do endless degrees! Hope you're well.

That chest piece is beautiful! Yes they are mine....plus 2 rescued cats, 1 rescued bearded dragon, and an Australian smiling tree frog......see? He's smiling at you!

I have a small rescue sanctuary in a rental in downtown Portland.....crazy I know. You seem like you'd understand though

Whoops, I didn't really address that huh.... they're basically saying it's probably some sort of soft tissue problem. Like a muscle, tendon, whatever. If it doesn't get better with rest then she will see an orthopedist... so, that's why I'm considering the massage therapy for her.

It's a reversible dog/cat

i really want to meet you. you seem like such a beautiful soul.
i have been reading about loss a lot lately....i think that we forget that even the little losses are painful....losing a lover or even moving somewhere...leaving things behind....losing pieces of yourself...changing yourself...
and like you said, loss is inevitable...and even if you have not yet dealt with the experience of death very much, you are still dealing wtih it simply because you are alive and because you love things and people and because you know deep down that these people or animals will be gone someday....
i think that realizing that, even if there isn't any immediate threat, is still very painful and important.

it makes me sad that in our culture we can't really discuss these things, i think if we open more doors on the subject the fear would not be so big...
i don't know...
i know that no matter how much tragedy you deal with though...one is never truly an expert...
but change and surviving it....it does make one much stronger.
facing the things that hurt most....
*hugs*
