Almost got a puppy this week! The only reason I even went through the process before meeting the puppy is she looked just like Annie when she was a puppy. She is a mixed breed, German Shepherd, Burmese Mountain, Collie and something else I can't remember. She will be a very big dog, 100 pounds for sure. I gave it a lot of thought and I think the dog should go to a family with children. Also Burmese is a breed known to be very stubborn and food focused. Having a dog not do what I want it to do especially when it's super big, is something I think I wouldn't be able to handle as I got older. And of course with the boys coming out to visit in a few months, having a puppy in training would be just a little too hectic. :)
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
