On Saturday I took Annie into the Vet's. She wasn't feeling well and I know German Shepherds have very sensitive tummys. Dr. Ueno took one look at her and asked me what was different at my house. I said I had gone back to work full time. Just by looking at Annie he could tell she was stressed out. It's very common for dogs who have bonded with their owners to become stressed out enough to throw-up and have other related upset tummy issues. Annie doesn't understand why I'm not home with her anymore. I had hopes of being able to bring her to work in the afternoons but with the gas prices so high, it's not cost effect to come home and pick her up. Does this look like a stress puppy?
Flat Fish Paper Arts was born many years ago when blogging first started. My family did a lot of camping and diving along the California coast. California halibut are huge fish that start out as any normal fish. As they age, one eye will start to move to the other side and the halibut will become flat so it can lay on the bottom of the ocean with both eyes facing up.
I always like the idea that we all start out the same but life experiences slowly changes us. In my case, my creative talents went the way of paper arts. Flatfish are always looking up when they mature and as with any artist, we see inspiration in everything around us - always looking up.

Years ago a local dive shop had a photo of a diver who caught a halibut so big he had to throw it over his jeep to take the picture. Our little spoof with our daughter sitting in her toy jeep with dad's halibut on the hood. 1987

Oh I hope Annie eventually gets used to you being gone. Poor Annie. And I'm sure you don't like being away from her either. Hugs.
