Gimme an I-G-G-Y to the E-R! To the max!

What excitement today. We went to Robert E. Lee for rollicking weekend fun with crazy hordes of dogs. It was great, Iggy ran with abandon. So much abandon, in fact, that she destroyed her toe. It was but a flesh wound (ultimately, I think it counts as a bad hangnail) but an E.R. visit and $200+ dollars later, the toenail was removed and the bloody stump protected with fun yellow doggy tape:

We have to give her all these pills and keep her from exercising too much or getting her foot wet, for the next ten days. We'll see how THAT goes.

Stupid dog.

In other news, I did a couple postcards last week. Nothing too exciting, but I do like the guy with the hat. I got a couple general "I liked the postcard" responses from the first couple rounds I sent out, which is excellent. They're falling for my plan for world domination already!

I meant to do a batch more this weekend, but what with lounging in bed on saturday morning, dinner with friends on Saturday evening, dog park fun this morning, trip to the E.R. later this morning, visit to gallery show early afternoon, and SuperBowl hooplah this evening, I haven't had a minute to dirty my pretty little fingers. Maybe tomorrow. Incidentally, the gallery show was actually pretty good. I know Ken through mom and dad and his charcoal drawings are really quite lovely. He's able to achieve a really nice, heavy black that reminds me of aquatint etchings. Anyway, that's the kind of repetitive, meditative work that I could never do, since I'm too much of a spaz. He's an architect in real life, though, so that explains a lot. Architects have to be thoughtful, otherwise they could accidentally kill people.

he writing on the border is very reminiscent of Broadcasting Class with Ms. Fox. Personally I like the guy in the hat he reminds me of a really pretentious Mr. Potato Head.
