Baby I'm Back!

My goodness it's been longer than I thought since my last post here. I've probably lost you all by now. If not, I'm back. If you are new to my blog then Welcome!

A lot has happened to me since I last posted. I was diagnosed with breast cancer and fought a tough battle for the last year and a half. Now that I am completely healed both mentally and physically, I can get back to doing the things that I enjoy. I think that now I am a different person and my blog is going to reflect that. While I still have a great passion for anything and everything whippet and dog related, I have become more in tune with who I am as a person. I am hoping to blog about whippets of course, but will throw in some "gems" of observations I have made about life and living with cancer.

So bear with me as I get my sea legs back. It's going to be a journey. I hope that you will enjoy the ride!
The latest and greatest news I have regarding Whippets is I have commissioned a painting done of my Sophie. I know a fantastic artist who specializes in Dog and Cat art. You send her a photo of your pet and discuss with her what you would like as far as colors for the background. In the painting I commissioned, I chose a version of Van Gogh's Starry Night (one of my favorites).
 
The Artist is Billie Mann and you may view her online Gallery at http://www.artbybillie.net.
