There’s only one person in my system that can and will over-ride the pain and physically wrestle a dog to the ground that went off on us because of food aggression. He didn’t break Ladybird’s neck nor did he punch or physically harm her. He subdued her and held her down until she stopped squirming. Brody looked at Morton like he was out of his mind but he stayed under the table and didn’t move. Halo was steady chewing at the shoe strings that came un-tied during the scuffle. I said forever but forever stops when a dog decides it’s okay to bite me. She nailed me dead on the arm too. I’ve had enough, really I have. She’s in the crate for the remainder of the evening other than going out to use the restroom. Continue reading ‘Morton’

That I can honestly attribute to growing up and feeling like a total fool. “Don’t make this into a circus act” she’d say in reference to crying. “Don’t make a fool of yourself” she’d say in reference to some normal activity that little girls do. Fool, it’s the word that haunts me more than any I can think of.
This was sketched in session using a regular number 2 pencil as well as green, yellow and blue PRANG coloured pencils.
Several of us paint. You know what’s hard about painting and DID? Some of us know how to use the programs and others of us don’t. If I start a digital painting one day I need to finish it that day because there’s no guarantee when I’ll be back out. The painting could be left unfinished for who knows how long. The other thing is, even if someone else wanted to finish the painting they may not know how to use the programs or know where I was going with a particular piece. Each of us that paints digitally will attempt to finish the painting in a day (one sitting) because we don’t know when we’ll be back around to finish it. We paint almost with a sense of urgency, or as if it’s the last painting we’ll ever do. Continue reading ‘On Painting and DID’
