paper and paint collage on canvas |
I am fighting the urge to crawl under a big fluffy blanket for the winter.
I've been working on a few paper and paint collages.
This one is my latest attempt at a self portrait.
I've been a bit blue lately.
I am a Gemini
The line down the center of my face represents my two inner voices.
Those voices are always in constant battle.
One of my Gemini Superpowers is the ability to equally balance pros and cons...
but this also makes the decision process very hard for me.
I have had a lot on my mind.
We recently made the decision to not bring anymore dogs to RuffHaven.
It was a heart wrenching debate for us.
You see....we've been reminded again of how short life is
and how we do not know how long we have on this earth.
Since RuffHaven is small and private and not supported by public donations,
we knew that at some point we would need to stop.
We did the math and realized that this is the right thing to do.
The dogs that are here now will stay here for the rest of their lives.
Penny's Status has been changed from "Resident" to "Pet"
We are down to five.
But that doesn't mean I will stop saving dogs
I contacted the local shelter and had our home added to the list of foster homes in this area.
I know fostering will be hard, since I fall in love so easily....
but I will be able to help more dogs this way.
