The Newest Face of Prescription Drug Abuse in America?



"You expect me to believe this?""
"Why YES Dr.!"
"That your dog has a dependancy on Zoloft?"
"Who's to know if its JUST Zoloft? Although that is the most interesting drug in there!"
"Yes, that brings up the feasibility of a border collie getting into a medicine cabinet...?"
"Well, doctor, its not really a cabinet. More like a lavendar colored bin on a shelf in the linen closet."
"But still- aren't the bottles child proof? Do you see my confusion here, Ma'am?"
"Yes, I do, sir. SHE'S A DOG not a child. Does that help?
"Okay! Enough already. Why are you bringing me your dog today? You already know what drug she's....err....taken."
"I'm afraid she's OD'd. You see it appears she took 1/2 a pill which you might think would be just right but then perhaps it was too much because ten minutes after I ga...after I caught her red pawed....she fell down. It takes much longer for it to do anything to me....and I've never fallen."
"She's 40 pounds! Half a pill meant for a grown human would knock her off her feet!"
"OH yeah, I can see now how that might."

"You know, Ma'am, they do make happy pills for dogs that are afraid of fireworks- in the right dosage and everything. I could help you with this."

"Sounds like a good option. Now, if her pills should accidently get mixed up with mine- ya know, by accident of course, what kind of reaction could I expect?"

  2. You are killing me! I've always heard talk of "elephant tranquilizers" but you put that a bit in perspective for me.

  3. Honest- I have tried everything else with that high strung pup- I've played ball in the middle of the night to keep her distracted from the thunder so many times now- a person's gotta sleep- ya know?

  4. Hi Christine! This is such a funny post! I am going back and read more of your blog! I haven't used the Chartpack markers. The Copics are alcohol based and the Chartpack are,Xylene based?? Well, you would know better than me. I think the thing about the Copics is that they blend so well. I sure the Chartpacks do also.

A Little Summer Fun Followed By A Little Summer Anxiety!

  Yep.  Got a  little goin' on... First off-  Anything to keep these two busy!    Very first overnight camp- thought I'd be really anxious.  Turns out- not so much! A few family reunions   with a few too many pictures taken.... A little surf and sand and a husband who says "Back up...I'll get the bay in the background."   Hmmm ... looks like we're in the background and those flip flops are are pretty much the focal point of this picture.  No wonder I'm always behind the lens! Did I mention- ANYTHING TO KEEP THESE TWO BUSY???? There's been some art.... And then there's this lady.  This is the final on her face- because if I don't get this done.... Their gonna lock me away in the funny house! Oh yeah, because I just don't have enough going on.... Remember this?  The birdcage never quite made it on this lady's head but.....I did not throw it out.  Actually I lost it and finally found it under the treadmill when I

Paper Mache` vs. Creative Paper Clay vs. Paper Clay Recipe!

For those of you who work in figurative sculpture, or are art doll makers, or just like to putz around in an artsy way this post is for you. If you don't fit into the categories above this post may just be a yawn. Sorry. The following is a comparison of my experiences using three different products. Paper mache`, Creative Paper Clay, and paper clay recipe. This picture is a good example of how I like to mix up my mediums. The round flower is Creative Paper Clay. The 3-petal blossom is made from the paper clay recipe found on line. Both of these flowers adhered quite well with out any glue to the paper mache` background. In my Cloth and Clay group I have a discussion going about a paper clay recipe vs. purchasing the manufactured paper clay. I wanted an alternative to the little bricks and my dependency on whether or not my local hobby stores would have it in stock or not. And, truthfully, at the time with a rather large sculpture in mind I knew I would eat through those

Craft Tutorial Alert!

Well, its the end of the school year.  Time to thank the two ladies that influenced my children in a great direction!  I didn't want to donate to the gift card.  Why?  Because I'm not a joiner?  Because I want to stand out rather than share the spotlight?  Because I want a personalized gift that they can keep and always remember?  Because I want to impress upon them that I can't participate as a classroom volunteer because (loud children scare me) I've been so busy working and being creative?  Because I want to do both gifts for very little money but not look cheap?  Bingo. I saw an ornament made from a puzzle piece in a magazine and it stuck with me.  'I should do something like that' I always think.  Then the idea came to me and unfortunately would not leave me- like ringworm.  I would make a mobile. I found the very largest puzzle I could find at my local store.  Turns out the fewer the pieces- the larger they tend to be.  This 4.00 puzzle had
