Wow, I didn't realize that it has been that long since I posted anything on here. I admit it. I'm a really terrible blogger! Actually, just got very busy during July and August getting ready for, organizing and putting on the BCCNC specialty show. Then was sick most of September, followed by a few more health issues in October, which was followed by the holidays. But it's a new year so will try to get back to posting on a regular basis :)
OK, so here are a few updates.
Celestria Dogs - We have a new little furkid here at Celestria. I'd like to introduce you to Gracie (aka Fallon's Divine Grace at Celestria)! She is a great-granddaughter of my beloved Skye (wow - where did the time go?) and definitely shares some of great grandma's personality traits. Gracie's sire is Concho (CH Celestria Caliente's Concho) and her dam is Misty (CH Shoreland's Misty Moonlight). Is she adorable or what? She's got my husband totally wrapped around that little paw of hers. I'm so looking forward to showing her later this spring!
Grandma Bunny absolutely adores Gracie and they play just about all day long. I think Gracie is really good for Bunny because I think Bunny has missed Skye quite a bit.
Loki is continuing with his herding training although I've decided to let my herding instructor handle him. He's a lot of dog and he can totally wear me out. I think he'll progress much faster with her working him. I'm hoping he'll be ready for Started later this spring, but he still gets major teenage boy brain and he really ought to be past that by now. However, he adores Debbie and loves to work stock so I'm keeping my fingers crossed :)
Took Gracie and Laura up to play in the snow on Valentine's Day. Totally last minute idea. We were past 5,000 feet before we even saw snow which really surprised us. Since we were more than halfway to Reno at that point I called some friends to see if they wanted to visit for a bit. Laura is NOT thrilled with snow and thought it was really rude that we expected her to pee in that cold stuff - LOL! However, she got to go play ball with some cute doggie buds until she was about ready to pass out, so that made it up to her. Gracie liked the snow, but since she's still just in her puppy coat she got cold rather quickly.
Art Work - Well, haven't really done much in the last six months but here are the latest few pieces I've done. This one was a commissioned piece of a Bearded Collie:
These are some colored pencil pieces I did on Kentucky Black Slate. I've actually done about eight of them now. People seem to really like these and I love the uniqueness of each piece of rock. The hard part is finding the right size and thickness in the pieces of slate. Not to mention slate is a fairly fragile rock - it shatters and it has extremely sharp edges:
This one is Jamie Jackson's Bryson.
This one is Sandy Bohr's Alex.
That's about it for updates right now :)
