I think of updates like these as "shout out" updates. I'm just waving from the depths of my studio, letting y'all know I'm still alive.
Busy as heck, too! I'm ensconced in the midst of a huge project with a deadline that just might kill me. Failure is not an option though, so I'm kicking ass & have every intention of finishing early. As much as I'd love to talk more about it...it's just not a good idea right now. I'm actually a little lonely & I wish I could share my progress & ideas with you guys. I didn't realize how much I depend on your input, LJ peeps, until I am unable to avail myself of the feedback I get here, & so I am busy creating on my own (basically) & learning to trust myself. Scary, but also probably a very good idea for me to learn that I can go through this process alone. It's been a good year for life-lessons...
Trust me, there will be pictures & sharing, eventually, & it'll all be as much fun as my last entry. ^_^ My plan is to become the reigning queen of the big epic Reveal Of Win on LJ.
So, I come home from Japan & my beautiful dog, who used to look like this (I took this picture the morning that I left)...
...has a huge stapled-together gash about two inches long, under his right eye. This is especially upsetting to me, because Kiba is my baby & also, he has a pristine white symmetrical face...masklike in perfection. Not anymore! Husky skin is black (even if the fur over it is pure white) so when the vet shaved the fur around the wound, it had the comical effect of giving him, essentially, a black eye.
I have taken to calling him "Scarface". Also, "Rocky" and (related) "Stallone". It happened the day I was flying home. He had to spend one lousy day in doggie day care & I guess he decided to pick a fight with the wrong pup (I'm just glad he didn't lose his eye). He's being very good about not messing with it, and accepts the antibiotic pills I have to shove down his throat twice a day. Staples come out on Thursday.
But dammit! Can I please take one trip ever without some disaster befalling the household in my absence?? I swear something like this happens every time I go away.
PS..."Men's" Pocky (dark chocolate Pocky) is awesome stuff.
