Tenderness. Happy Birthday!

Congratulations to my dogs, Lil Mama Zsa Zsa & Zensu Papa-chan. I big storm blew over the mountain last night and she gave birth to her little litter. A girl and a boy. So proud🥰🥹 Welcome to planet 🌏 🐾🐾🐾🐾

So happy to keep my dogs company while they're enjoying their newborns as a bonded family.
 

Papa-chan has come close to chat to them after nursing several times through out the day.

Cuddling with her little boy

Cuddling with her boy in her arms and her girl in her legs.

Going for an ultrasound to make sure all the placental material is expelled. 

There were 3 puppies, but the 3rd was born with congenital deformities that were not compatible with life. The ultrasound

I got showed 4 or 5 puppies, according to the doctor two weeks ago.

 After she delivered the third puppy and it was in such a state I thought, Oh my! We must go to the hospital now. Turns out she only had 3 puppies... & only 2 are with us tonight.  The 3rd was born at 4:45 in the morning, and her heart was beating until about 12:30 in the afternoon. We all stay close together and a she got love from both her pawrents before she crossed over the rainbow bridge.  She had beautiful coloring. The white buddhist kiss on her forehead, a little white racing stripe and saddle, an all black body and little white socks. I named her Gyoza, our sweet little dumpling, with a Z inner name , like her mama and papa.

Here we all are together, me & Gyoza taking the picture.

A Directional & moral compasses

Full moon rising in the east over the Sandia Mountains.

Looking northeast towards the Ortiz Mountains and Santo Cristo Mountains from the eastern peaks of the Sandias.

If hiking in the wilderness, bring a directional compass. If navigating the urban jungle , bring a moral compass. No matter where you are. FUQ ICE. Thank you to my trusted advisers for talking with me about this and helping me decide what to do. 🫡 I think making the decision to leave the note to the guys was the right one, because they always had the option of going to the people who have caused the problem, which they did. Much better than coming to me, because I did not cause the problem, and I can't do anything about it. The people who caused the problem can solve it and they need to get on it. I hope they do.🙏🏻 

"Land with no Rider" & the no drama diet

 We went on an amazing hike in the Santa Fe National forest: The Aspen Vista Trail to bathe in the glory of the colors. It starts at ten thousand feet elevation. It was pretty crowded at the bottom of the trail, but as you go higher up there are fewer and fewer people. 

 

October 13th , we went to Santa Fe to the Indigenous Peoples day Powwow on the plaza. Here are a few videos of the intertribal men's fancy dance.

Working on some tulle bustles for a skirt in the studio.

 Cute little baby ristras.

Maxing and relaxing at our little cabin in the mountains where we will be living for the winter.

I made a beautiful pair of pants out at the demon house: my finishing skills are improving greatly.

View from the house in question.... Who would have thought that a bat shit crazy lady, gun toting and complaining about how she's been persecuted by the government, would be living out in the middle of nowhere? 😅🤣🤷‍♀️She ruins the view though.... Living in a beautiful house or daddy bought her surrounding it with rusted out old junk, and keeping seven wolves in small pens that she never cleans. When I first saw the place, I thought, " Well, this will certainly be temporary while I keep getting more familiar with the area, getting my feet under me."

  9 days... From the 7th to the 16th.
