Purpose

2 min read
Kind of just wanted to clear up what most of my deviations are.  I work in a veterinary hospital and have gotten caught up in creating clay paws for animals that pass or are euthanized.  Beginning with "Charlie" the white boxer puppy, I started to try to create a likeness of each animal on the back of the paws.  Can't say I am always successful (as you can see, several of the paws have ended up with flowers on the back as I don't have a decent picture to reference for some animals).  I still have a long way to go, but I have learned so much doing this and feel like I have improved with each one.  Plus, the response from the owners when they get their paws has really been amazing.  I just hope it gives them a little something to hold onto in a tough time.  Now if I could just bring myself to finish one for my own dog that I lost about a month ago.  TTFN. Beth

Clay Paw kit can be purchased through this website.  They also provide an array of info on dealing with the death/loss of a furry loved one.

RIP sweet Ginny

1 min read
Our sweet little Ginny died today (see Ginny do over deviation).  She turned 25 years old last week.  She had a very long life with people that really loved her.  Ginny will be burried in a pet cemetery north of town.  She will be greatly missed.

Not sure I am ready for this challenge but I'm sure it will create some improvement.  May take me 100 years to complete.  Looks like fun though.
