Hello all!  I am back to work after my winter holidays and have good news and bad news.  The good news being that my Christmas and New Year's were enjoyable events filled with family, friends, and lots of food.  The bad news is that, Kruger, my dog of 13 years was diagnosed with melanoma shortly before Thanksgiving.  He had a run-in with cancer a few years ago but that was a much more benign type and his surgery for that one went very well and allowed him a few more happy years with us.  Melanoma, on the other hand, is a very serious and quickly growing type of cancer which will be bringing his time to an end very shortly.  I am grateful that he was able to spend one more Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's with me and my family but his appetite is down, his bad hips prevent him from getting around easily, and his overall comfort isn't what it should be.  Because of this, I will have to make that final decision for him most likely within this next week or so.

Work-wise, I am returning to my usual commission schedule and have already gotten a couple commission sketches done today.  My inbox is spectacularly full as is the usual whenever I take more than a few days away from it so I will be working my way through those notes over the next few days as well as picking up the quasi-regular gallery uploads of orders that have been completed.  Please look forward to it and if you are awaiting a commission from me, know that your order has not been forgotten and that I am doing my best to work through my queue, manage my inbox, and make my ailing dog's last few days with us as comfortable as possible.

:star: Available iPhone Cases :star:

There was an overwhelming demand for the iPhone 4/4S Tough Case that featured my Howling Wolf Pair design as well as inquiries regarding when I'd be able to offer a larger selection.  That day is now here.  In addition to the original case which featured the design in white on a black background, there is now a Howling Wolf Pair case featuring a black on white background as well as two all new cases.

These polycarbonate cases made to fit the iPhone 4/4S are durable and handsome and can be purchased through ViaVoottoo here: [link]

I'm so sorry to hear about your dog. Kruger looks healthy to, but it's a shame that's not true :(

You have my most heartfelt condolences for Kruger's poor health and the decision that's putting on you; it's never an easy one. I hope that you can both enjoy whatever time you have left with him and cherish the memories.

My 10 year old beagle Max has a tumor and the vet said that if they give him sugery he can die on the operation so my whole family decicied not to give him the sugery. I want him to live his life as happiest as it can be! Max has been the loyalist dog in the world and my very first dog ever! And I love him so much!!!
