Changes.. . . .

I took a little break from the world of blogging but now I'm back.
 
Our house has been through a bunch of changes in the past 4 months, and I'm hoping that we have met our new level of normal and happiness. 
 
Changes in review:
 
After a two years of trying to make it work, Brian and I separated for good.  We decided that in order to be the best people we could be, we needed to be able to embark on our own individual journeys and be in charge of our own destinies.  It has been a hard change, but a good change for everyone. 
 
Truman passed away leaving a giant whole in my heart. I still cry daily and miss him so much.  I will always remember his happy go lucky demeanor, and his ability to get in trouble without trying.  They say it gets easier. . . I don't believe it.  It just becomes different. 

My friend Spyder painted this of Truman.  I feel his presence every time I look at it.  

I adopted a greyhound puppy from Amarillo, TX.  Emma named him "Rooster Rootbeer Bob." 
 He has been a blessing and is probably one of the best puppies I have ever met.  He is a good distraction for all of us, and brings great joy into our lives.


Tucker is an old man at 15, and in relatively good health and is as mean as ever :)  He just went though surgery to remove a mass from his lower eyelid and is recovering amazingly well.  

 
 
I finally took life by the horns and decided it was time to build myself a proper sewing studio.  My collars are now in 25 stores in the Pacific Northwest and my house had turned into an episode of "Hoarders."  I made this a priority and after 3 months, I have officially moved in and my studio/sweatshop is in full swing.  . . . .complete with dog couch.
 



So all in all, I can't complain. . . .we are healthy, happy, and are looking for even more changes for 2013!
