The past few months have seemed like years: time has been elongated without Lila. At first I didn’t know what to do with all those hours I had spent with her every day, walking, playing, cooking, caring. She was never a healthy dog, yet very high spirited and challenging, both of which I enjoyed. I soon realized I could paint all day. I had trained Lila to be alone in the morning while I was in my studio. But now I had all my hours to do anything but be with her. So I worked

This, so far, has been the best part of the holiday season: Lila visiting Santa! Her vet had a Christmas party for the animals. We even came away with a loot bag full of doggie treats. The rest of the seasonal stuff has been strange. So much traffic on the icy roads, racing around for last minute gifts. The ice has kept us homebound for a few days but it does seem to be melting somewhat. The roads weren’t too bad today. We’ve been lucky so far; an early winter, but not as bad

The brook, originally uploaded by leyaevelyn. I was telling my neighbor this morning about asking Lila to marry me. My only concern now is what to wear to the wedding. I can imagine Lila in an old fashioned bonnet, a white one to accentuate her black hair. But beyond that, I’m not sure, don’t know what I would want to wear. He said I’d have to wear a collar because she does. Oops! Don’t think I could. So I guess that ends the idea of marrying her. Too bad! #Beauty #Lila #Shop
