I love dogs as well. I was just never able to have dogs as my job requires way too much traveling, sometimes for weeks on end. You can throw a large bowl of food down, get a water dispenser type water bowl and take off for weeks and not have to worry about your cats. I still have someone check on them every couple of days but for the most part they are completely independent. Dogs are a completely different story. Now that I am married I could get one as my wife or son could take care of the dog while I was away but they are both cat people as well so its just always been cats.
I will admit, I do get a bit jealous when I see people camping and hiking with their dogs. We are big outdoors people and I think it would be very cool to be able to bring your dog along on such trips. I am an animal person in general so there isn't really an animal out there that I don't like. That said, I am definitely a cat person.
We just got our Christmas Tree earlier this morning (yeah, a bit late this year!) and its Kody's first Christmas. She was scared to death of it. She went running off a hundred miles an hour, back arched, tail super fat, lol. 25 minutes later she was trying to climb it and attacking the branches. Taboo, our male tuxedo cat, actually finds a spot and sleeps in the tree. He has been doing that since he was a kitten. Gotta love the holidays!
Ok, back to Aspen prints. I found a local collector a few months back, through the dealer I use, that was thinking about selling his collection, or at least part of it. He had been out of work for some time and money was getting tight, an all too familiar story these days. Anyways, he contacted me last week and told me he was willing to start selling some of his pieces. I stopped by there this afternoon and came home with 8 prints that I needed, all older prints signed by Turner. All are highly sought after and would have cost me at least 200 a pop on eBay and knowing me, they probably would have come damaged, lol. He sold me all 8 for $1000 flat and the best part is they are all in pristine condition. This guy knows how to handle prints! He still has a lot more I want so hopefully he calls me back again to buy more. Either way, I just scratched off a lot of hard to find prints from my checklist! If I get some time, I will take some pictures and post them up tomorrow.
