Artist Trading Cards
(click image to enlarge) - SOLD OUT!
I just finished this series of Artist Trading Cards (3.5"x2.5"), and they are available for sale for $20 each, includes US postage. All proceeds will go to Hands, Hearts & Paws --- an all breed dog rescue where I volunteer. Recently they have had several owner surrenders that have needed extensive medical care, and their bank account is depleted. Email me or leave me a comment if you would like to purchase one (or more). Thanks!
This is one dog's story...
This dog was left tied up at a local shelter with a note that said he had been "injured for 3 months". He had a prong collar embedded in his neck that left several puncture wounds all the way around his neck when it was surgically removed. He also had a huge drain hole in the underside of his neck, that thankfully was allowing the infection from his wounds to drain. He later had a second surgery to remove a huge piece of wood that was puncturing his trachea. After all the x-rays, tests and surgeries, he is finally pain-free and healing, but his vet bills total $1000.
This is why I am fundraising for this rescue. Instead of euthanizing him as a hopeless situation, this rescue fought to find a surgeon that would try to save this dog. And now they need help paying his bills.

One of Those Things...
P.S. On another note, I sold two pieces of art to a new collector in the Netherlands this morning, and I am thrilled about that!

Autumn in the Yard
We love the large ash trees that shade our backyard in the summer and provide privacy from spring through summer, but now is the time that we realize how many leaves it takes to provide that shade and privacy. So far we have bagged 10 HUGE bags of leaves, and that is after the leaves have been mulched into tiny pieces!

A Great Day!
(Sorry for the photo quality --- it was taken through the window screen, as I didn't want to disturb them.)
And my day ended with a great adoption! This is little Hope (now Roxi), who is a maltese/yorkie mix that was rescued from a horrible breeder situation. She flourished in her foster home, and now she has a wonderful forever family with 3 little girls that are already spoiling her! These are the moments that make all the hard work and heartbreak of rescue work worthwhile.

Whirlwind Week
I don't know where the week went, but it flew by. On Thursday I traveled to Lawrence, KS to spend time with friends and attend a workshop on Saturday. On Friday we spent some time with our cameras at Clinton Lake and in downtown Lawrence.
Here are two of the many deer that we saw grazing and playing around the lake. They weren't easily spooked, so we got to enjoy them for quite a while before they ran off.
There were spider webs everywhere in the morning light! Almost every patch of grasses had a zillion webs to photograph, and the sunrise cast the perfect lighting.
