Didn't get much sleep last night....my Maggie dog spent the night very sick. We took her to the vet yesterday morning after discovering she devoured a huge bag of chocolates my daughter left on the ground of her room....this is an 18 lb dog. The vet gave her a hygrogen peroxide blend to make her vomit most of the chocolate, but a lot of it had already entered her system. Taking her probably saved her life though because she was getting very very sick and now I think she's much improved. I'm glad she's alright! Poor dog.

Violin Inspiration

This piece is inspired by my creative daughter Kayla. A photo above from one of her artsy shoots and notice her shirt slogan below....I love it! It is certainly something to live by and states: "The only place the word success comes before work is in the dictionary".
