As some of you know I was planning on getting a Great dane from a shelter, today I found out she was claimed by her owner. Well as fate would have it, I went to do my Tues. volunteeing at the local shelter. We had a male Saint to neuter because he was adopted. Well his heart worm test was positive!!! The "new owners" decided they did not want to pay to get rid of them. They even had the nerve to pick another dog, then walk in and pet this boy and walk out. I couldn't stand it....He was going to be euthanized as soon as the last surgery was done (the neuter on his "replacement") I couldn't stand it...I called the vet and they said it would be about $300 for treatment....I brought him home. I cannot keep him for more than a month or 2 I have him scheduled for next Thursday at the vet. I really don't have the $$$ for treatment. The vet will keep him 2 days, then he goes back in 2 weeks for a check up. He isn't a pure saint...he is 85 pounds, and other than a thinner nose he looks like a saint. Here is a link to his picture on the shelter site.

any takers???

I was talking last night about how I had been doing polymer sculpts. I mostly was doing hairless cats, and monkies (don't ask why...LOL) anyway I decided to work on some danes. I did fawn ones, because I am out of other colors right now. I did one w/natural ears and one with cropped. So far it is just the heads, they will get bodies, and then baked. Then I can add finishing shading etc. I am going to work on other breeds too. This way I can put back a slush fund for my vet bills. LOL I was selling my other stuff on e-bay, hopefully these will sell too.
What do you think so far?

After I got home I decided the pups needed a bath. Morgayne had decided to try and dig to China while I was gone. LOL Soooo They had baths, and while they were driving they possed for some pics.

This poor old girl is in the pound in New Philly Ohio. That sucks because my dad is from there and was just visiting family there yesterday...it is only about 2 hours from me though. I don't know if I can take the heartache of another old girl...but she needs someone to give her a home.

Here is a site that you can find your pirate name. LOL
Mine is "Captain Bess Bonnie". my son was "Bloody Morty Rackham" and my daughter is "Captain Jenny Rackham"

As most of you have read, I lost my 11 year old Dane Tisha a few weeks ago. Well it is killing me. I miss her sooo much. I have gotten where I get through a day or 2 without crying, but I am still sad. Yesterday My male Dane Thorn had what I think was a very mild seizure. I freaked out, I cannot handle going through this again. He seems fine now, he is eating playing etc. He is a very healthy dog and I think he may have had low blood sugar.
Anyway I was crying last night about Tisha, and my husband tells me I need to go to counceling! Then I guess he said something to my parents, because my dad says today... are you OK? Do you think you need to see a doctor and get a physical? Your husband is worried about you still being so upset about your dog....WTF? It has been 2 1/2 weeks since I lost her, doesn't it take time to grieve? I am able to function, Its not like I am sitting in a dark room hiding away. She was my best friend. After my dad says that I am crying again. I said it has only been 2 weeks, she was my best friend, am I not allowed to be sad? He says I guess you just handle things different than us... (I could feel the "it's just a dog tension). My mom was nice, she was crying a bit and said Tisha was a great dog, she had a great life, better than other dogs etc. Am I supposed to stuff my emotions? Hide it all away till I explode or have a breakdown? I am so upset and sad now. I guess I have to hide and cry to myself so they don't try and commit me to an institution or something. Sorry for the rant, I am just so mad that I have to hide my feelings because no one wants to see me upset.
