2-1-12 Our handsome TC crossed the Rainbow Bridge
2012-02-03
We are VERY sad to report that we lost our handsome boy on the night of Feb 1, 2012. We want to thank all of you for trying to help with costs, but mostly with all your love, support, positive energy and prayers. TC tried his best to stay with us but in the end his diseases proved to be to much. They feel he had heart disease, possible lymphoma and there were issues with his kidneys and liver as well. He began to not breath well after a procedure and he went into cardiac arrest, they did CPR but did not feel they would be able to do much more. I did the hardest thing over the phone which was telling them to stop CPR, to not let my friend suffer and to humanely put him down. My only regret was I was not there with him physically but everyone says he knows I was there and I have to believe this. My heart aches for him and I will miss him everyday until we meet again. I was telling a friend how I felt a piece of me had died with him and she wrote me this which made me cry but in a way also made me feel a lot better “you did lose a piece of you.
he took a little piece of your heart and spirit with him
to always be able to find you when you can be together again someday. and he’s going somewhere new so he’ll need that little bit of security of having you with him to make it easier for him.”
TC was one of my BFF and animal lovers understand this, he was my dance partner, snuggle bug, creative muse for Power to the Paw art work, he was my behavioral challenge, support, and right hand man. I love him so much and miss him from the core of my being as do his furry companions and Liz. Thank you again to all of you especially to the Pat Brody Shelter for bringing him into my life in April 2004 when I adopted him, he was so very important to me and I will forever be grateful for you bringing him into my life and into my heart. xo
Alive, grateful and reflective

It has been a long time...it seems like forever. I recently spent 2 months in the hospital and now I am reaffirming what is most important to me in this crazy world. I have not been teaching since June of 2011 and hope to return part time this January 2012. I thought I was going to die, God knows it felt like I was. Now I look in the mirror and not only is my body physical different inside and out but my entire identity feels foreign. It is like shedding old skin and coming into a new. Perhaps my art will change as well...if I ever actual do some art. It is all swirling in my head just needs to get on a page somehow. The future will all unfold in good time, both my medical future and professional future. Maybe I will become a barista, or work with rescue animals full time who knows a lot will depend on what steps come next medically. I did take LOTS of pictures and created a photo journal of this medical adventure that started in 2007 and hit it's peak in drama July 2011, I even have brain MRI scans to use as images..who needs more inspiration than that=) Until next time be grateful for all you have..even silly things we take for granted everyday like our hair, eyebrows and eye lashes;in 4 months time I lost all of mine to yet another autoimmune disease and medication complications ..no one knows if they will come back. That alone changes your outlook on life and you begin to discover you without all the camouflage.

Teaching is over until August 30 =) Proud of my Seniors and all my students. Happy to have some time off and to finally do some art. We have another new rescue dog, his name is Petey and our other dog Shaggy loves him. All is well on the home front.
Hmmm still here

To my surprise we are still living in CT thought we might be back in the Boston area by now but "Bloom where you are planted" right? Art studio is finally finished thanks to a wonderful friend and a loving partner. Two FIV foster kitties reside in there as well right now and hopefully soon I will get back into the art mode. I have begun my Power to the Paw website and it is in the works however I need to update this site with my work and new frames on the current pieces shown here. Still intending good health, visualizing the yellow blanket surrounding me, still teaching, still happy with my partner, family, friends, dog and cats, still laughing, still volunteering, fostering and advocating for animals, the overlooked and the tossed aside: forever a fan of the underdog. Hopefully I will begin to post more frequently and get this site updated soon.
Change in sight
