Fell off my blog wagon!  I was doing so well.  I guess I just have forgotten, and have been writing in my journal instead.

The month has moved slowly as we transition away from Emma and towards the new puppy coming.  Once I got it all set up I calmed down and all the sadness just poured in.  Like a hole in the sand on the beach.

Anxious for the giant change that's about to come, and just want to get over the initial hump of shock and nervousness and into the routine. 

Losing Emma has been so different from all the past dogs. Because it was so sudden and she was so young.  It's felt like she got lost, or somebody just came in and took her.  We had such a rhythm and routine, and it's been a constant reminder throughout the day, every activity, every location, that she is not there, and will never be again.  It's just so hared to accept. 

Poor Echo is so displaced and just odd as a single dog, like it was never meant to be.  We have gotten along really well and she is so easy and mobile (tough to change!!) but it's always like something is incomplete with just here.  She is such a part of a duo, and I know she misses Emma.  Lucky to have lots of play time with Nandi which she just loves.  It wipes her out.

Puppy comes Saturday, today's Wednesday, and it's just been a ticktock - ticktock for a while now anticipating the day.  Meanwhile, work continues on.

Finished my cricket print, and working on SM for the holiday, and CRIMINALLY have continued to put off commission.  It's insane, there is no other way to put it.

 

April SM numbers good, so that lifted my spirits.  Losing UM manger, and that sucks!  She was a champion.

Posters vs Screen printing / Giclée has been a game changer (I think).  Jury is still out.  But man, what a solution!  Happy about it so far. 

LOTS to do, as always.  Cards, prints, tees, stickers.  >>> On to the future!
