Mia ( Siberian Husky)



Mia, our new dog in the pool is female aggressive as we soon found out so now we have to keep her separated til things get better.Sissy our shepherd and Mia had gotten in a fight and sissy fell off the bed and tipped the dog crate allowing the door of the crate to puncture her inner thigh, she gets her stitches out today. Mia on the other hand is now attending obedience school and has a lot to learn yet she has been crated by the original owner so she has a lot of aggression to work out yet.
I hope things will get better I think she will like winter since she has a lot of energy to play in the snow.

Working in the rain


I have been working on one of my displays been working in the garage due to all the rain we are getting. I am making this out of an old dog kennel so far it is going good and is made too fully disassemble for transport, I still need to put a backdrop on it and paint it and finish putting the bolts in to hold the skulls and pad the rails. The plan is to get ready to have shows for next year because I am not ready this year, would like to get a canopy , banner and a couple more displays and business cards made up. The next display will be a narrow table with a riser to hold the skulls at an angle and then a pole type display for smaller skulls. I forgot to mention that this display will hold ten skulls 5 on each side equally spaced.

coon skull update


I have added a plaque for the coon skull so that it stands out more against a wall to help compliment the design. The skull is made to come off the plaque so it can be hung by itself or on the plaque. I have update the ETSY listing for this with no change to shipping or price .

Favorite Painting

This is my favorite painting of flames and a door, what lies behind the door is the intriguing aspect of the painting. The flames represent the dark side which is inside us and the door is the curiosity that makes us want to open it.

Freecycle


I wanted to give a plug for the Rockford Area Free cycle which has been great in the time of need.
We had gotten some stone that some one had in their yard and wanted to get rid of it, this helps us out since we have really bad drainage problems. we also needed a large dog crate so we could get our new puppy home. we have also contributed to the wanted replies so that we can help other people out also.
