Our old man puppy Artex.

Last night Katie I had to sadly put our old man puppy Artex to sleep. Artex had been diagnosed with a brain tumor for a more than two months and had been giving him meds but yesterday it was apparent that the meds had stopped working. We got home from work to a very confused Artex, and we knew that he had a seizure during the day. We spent all night trying to help him calm down, but every time Artex would lay down he would have an other seizure. Katie and I are spending the day with k'ninja to mourn our loss. Artex was a great dog and will be missed.

OK so it wouldn't let me post all these pictures at once. Well what do you think? I have been non stop busy lately either at work or working on art or at my glass blowing class.... working on art. In june portland hosted the Glass Art Society international conference and I got to see so much amazing art being formed out of the glass that I make every day at work. I have known for a long time that I wanted to blow glass but now that I have started there is no stopping me. these pictures are of some of the stuff that I have worked on however not all of it is mine by defenition but I did work on every peice you see. Also a picture of Joe and I blowing one of the peices below.
