An Early Start

My day started at 6am with this little guy. Rocky and I picked up Amber and the three of us headed to Tennessee to meet their ride. Rocky and Amber have forever homes waiting for them several states north of us….and they’ll arrive very late tonight. I enjoyed giving them a lift out of Alabama on a cold, rainy day. Have a great life, kids.

The rest of the day I worked on this encaustic. I have some finetuning yet and I’m being very careful - the wax is very thin in places. This one is a mine field. I was absorbed today for several hours while it rained outside and the dogs slept around me. I’ll probably go in tomorrow and finish.

Benny is the new kid under the table. He’s wearing a soft harness because he has a 4” incision where a large growth was removed from his chest. Benny is an absolute delight. In spite of his Frankenstein line of staples, he took Carmela on and WON! Poor Carm is really fearful and tries to hide it with her blood-curdling tbreats. Benny gave it right back and she took off through the air and didn’t come back all day!
Then little Benny curled up and took a nice, peaceful nap. He can handle himself.
