Well, I was going to return to semi-activity as i just bought a new suped up gaming pc, but man. I see people still kinda just being all willy nilly with GSDs and trying to label dark/black sables as ASLs of all things. No offense to ASLs, it's just not a possible thing to be that color and purely of that line.

So I'm going to hand over what work I had finished for the IWDA, and all the points donated towards its super group status to ExpiredCanMayhem. I may sell my dogs that are titled or were being shown. I'll decide within the next few days after I weigh my options and attachment while I play the latest patch of FFXIV.

I had to reformat my entire computer due to an issue and lost pretty much everything since my backup didn't work. A bunch of WIPs, show entries that I had started and never got around to finishing, all my IWDA info I typed up...

Gone.

I'll be back once I get over the butthurt of tech hating me.

OKAY, so. I just landed a new job I'll be starting in a few weeks. The past week or two has been extremely busy for me. I'd like to start this journal by apologizing for all the users who donated and have been waiting very patiently for the IWDA to open. It will be coming soon. Between everything going on in my life, and everything going on in Mudd's life (girl is my right hand in all this after all), it's been a very stressful time. Thank you for being so patient with me.

So I'll be working full time again, yay! I feel like I'm much more productive when I'm working full time actually, in regards to art and general business. So expect to see events and litters and more things from me overall on a weekly basis once things settle in to a nice groove.

I'm also considering getting another puppy! I've got my eye on a Kelpie breeder here in the States and they'll be having two litters this Fall. It's pretty exciting and I'm going to shoot them an email an see what temperaments they're expecting and colors as well. Color is the last of my worries, but boy would I love a nice red and tan Kelpie ♥ Of course this is all subject to change, but if things work out well... there'll be lots of incoming puppy photos and cuteness to go around! Plus my GSD could use a canine companion since the dog I have with my boyfriend (probably soon to be ex *sigh*) is never around to socialize with him. Womp womp, but yay new puppy for me maybe!

That's all the time I have for an update right now. Catch you guys later!

PSN was down all day so I got a lot of stuff done. A few loads of laundry, my closet is mostly organized, I went and bought a new PS2 controller so I can play some of my super old games, and got coffee with a girlfriend. Now I'm editing my old Malinois lines for the grand opening of the IWDA soon. Just updating the lines with some variation and adding shading to it so they look nice and sharp for the imports I'm planning on creating. My Dutchie lines will be getting the same treatment, and I'll be adding new GSD lines altogether. People will also be able to purchase the new lines for a small dA fee that will fund later prizes given by the IWDA

In the famous words of Yoshi-P...
{Please look forward to it!}

-- oh wait, only XIV players would get that ;;
