So, I have been super bad about updating on time - sorry guys, I've been ridiculously busy >.>!!!! I have a new puppy, which only makes things worse (and he is a hyper german shepherd to boot). I am almost done going through my messages though - so if I haven't responded to something yet, no worries (I will shortly)!
Also, I wanted to do a shout out to

and thank him for the 3 month membership! I hope to do some features before my time is up!!!
ALA 9
So, ALA was awesome! I really enjoy the environment and people there. I was sharing a table with

and

, who are both FLIPPING AWESOME. This was my first time doing AA without my partner in crime (you know... that brown guy with the heavy black beard.... yup that's my number one man) so I was a little nervous. But my two tablemates made it super fun - I feel glued to them now o_o... I always want to table with them XD... but I think I gave them a bad first impression. I was showered with gifts (thank you everyone, you are too good to me >.<) and now they think it's a normal thing. I swear to you guys it's not! First time a thing like that has ever happened! Seriously!
I also had

and her husband staying over at my place and carpooling with me to the con. They are both super awesome, nice and fun! I wish we had more time to hang out guys! The con really took over >.>!!! She along with many others spoiled me with gifts. I really don't deserve it everyone >.< but I am so thankful! You really made my day and the con so much more memorable.

made a gorgeous original art piece (and bracelet) and

a poster to an exciting graphic novel he is working on that I will most definitely hang. One of my commissionees made me a plushie!!! I was speechless guys.
So much more happened and I worry if I write all no one will read this journal haha. However, I wanted to finish with the great artists that I met and befriended.

was super sweet and always stopped by to say hi - he has really kawaii artwork, so check it out!

and

were doing AA for the first time (hard to believe - they looked like pros) and have amazing artwork as well. I am so happy to have traded with them T_T!!!

I will update this shortly
Yep :3 I've got 3 babies. A dog named Maeson I've had for 5 years and 5 months. He's my derpy lil' guy but I love him. Then there are the two cats. Domino and Ahari.
Aw and you have a whole family of pets! I only have a dog, but I would really love to have a cat XD. Animals are the best. What sort of dog and cats do you have?
Yep! Starting up my own zoo. I want to get a pair of ratties soon, and faaar into the future a teacup piggy that will be named Cutlet.
My dog is part lab, and the other part we are thinking either a nova scotia duck tolling retriever, or a rodesian ridgeback. As for the cats, one looks to be an american shorthair, and the other a longhaired tortie. But we're not sure what kinda breed the other is. I do love my animals.
How is your pup doing now? Still good?
As for the pup, he is still good - bunches of energy haha. Luckily, my mom and I trade off in walking and playing with him, so it doesn't feel like too much of a burden. I think I would go nuts if I was doing it all on my own XD
D'awww, he sounds adorable, if not a lot to handle. xD I remember when I raised Maeson. ARGH! That Fathead. He destroyed our backyard water system and ate part of the wall.... Not even the corner either. o_O I remember waking up super early for him then passing out... only to be reawoken 2 hours later for more terror. Lol, sigh, I remember those days. It sounds like you and your mom are handling it well though.
And yes, we are tag teaming XD it really helps
I also look forward to seeing puppy pictures!
