im so tired of this
I've been depressed on and off for the last several weeks. My childhood companion, and best pet ever, might pass away before christmas. Murphy is a mix between australiant shepherd and english springer spaniel. She is my first dog, and my best friend. She's now 14 and her health is rapidly declining. Im tearing up as i write this so if there is typoes please forgive me, its hard to see the keyboard. I got her when i was 6, and i remember it like it was yesterday. She has always been there for me, in my best times, and my worst. She would sit and listen to what i had to say, or watch what i would do, no matter what. She protected me from danger, and accompanied me during my outdoor/backyard adventures. I love her so much it hurts to think she could vanish from my world before this year ends. I've only felt this much pain in my heart when my grandmother passed almost 2 years ago in november. It seems like just a few months ago Murphy was running around the backyard, chasing me playfully. Right now we (meaning me, my parents and the vet) believe she has the canine version of dimensia, what my grandmother died from, as well as cushinson's disease which makes her pant alot and heavily. Her bones are weakening, and everyday its getting harder for her to walk or even to stand. When we put her downstairs for the night (she cant control her muscles anymore so if she has "to go" she will right there), she is fine, but if we leave the house to run errans, even if its for a short while, she will have panic/anxiety attacks and destroy anything within her reach. She has destroyed the makeshift door my dad made 3 times to the point he had to sacrifice using metal screen and made it solid plywood with a sliding lock instead of the doorhandle. The other day she pulled a tooth out because she was trying to bite the door so hard. I try so hard not to think of her passing but each day it seems to come closer and closer. I know for a fact she wont be around for my 19th birthday in march, and its even looking more likely she wont even be around for christmas or thanksgiving. Murphy is already on 3 different pain medications for her arthritis and one for her anxiety (Zanex). She is also starting to loose weight for no apparent reason. According to vet records she lost 6 pounds in 2 months, and we are to take her in every week to weigh her. If she continues to loose weight, we may have to put her to sleep. My heart aches when i think of her being put to sleep, as my boyfriend had to go through the same thing last november with his dog. Everyday i give her a big hug and tell her i love her. But I know she doesnt understand much anymore, she even is showing signs of going deaf and not reconginizing us. This painful downward spiral brings flashbacks of my grandmother's end, which makes me feel worse. I work on commissions or personal projects to keep my mind at bay, but its getting harder to do so. I just needed to let this out, ive been crying myself to sleep or having breakdowns everyday now. I just can't begin to think that one day I will wake up and she wont be there.... Thanks for reading this, and thanks to those who have supported me in these hard times. I love you Murphy, always and forever my friend <3 ~Shaggy Griffon | | Wednesday, September 8th, 2010 | | 11:24 pm |

hey guys i just thought of a really good idea for my phoenix partial. im using the tutorial/pics from the girl who made the crow wings and tail, and i thought, im gonna use DA's firey long pile tipped fur for the flame look, but what if i added silk (the stuff that clowns throw in the air to juggle, those neon tissue things) strips hainging from the tail and arm bases so when i swing my arm and shake my tail around those strips will blow in the wind and look like live flames. i just dunno where to get those, maybe Joann's? also, that kind of tipped fur, is it shaveable like around the eyes and when it comes out from the beak on the head? i have the purple with white tip fur if i could test that. im gonna use white wire mesh and paint the anime eyes on that so i can see through the whole thing. the arms will be shoulder length with elastic to hold them on me. now i havent thought about the feet. you know that breed of chickens that have the feathery fluff on their feet like Clydestales? i was thinking since Phoenix's dont really show their feet much in all the flames, maybe i could use that same fur and drape it over the feet, but have toes and talons protruding from the shaggy fur. id make the shoes on a slipper base i have in my workshop cabinet. they are knee high very comfy outdoor soled slippers if you will. since this is my anthroy Prince Zuko cosplay suit, the head is gonna have his anime eyes, the scar on the left eye, the black shaggy wig, and his long Fire Nation robe on, which also has a blood red undershirt/pants so thats why im making this a partial. only his wings, tail and feet will be seen coming out of the clothing, and the head will have a poofy neck. im gonna make the beak out of my celluclay, but what should i make the base out of that i will mold the clay over and let it dry on so it keeps its shape? id take away that base after. thanks ~Shaggy Griffon | | Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008 | | 8:52 am |

hey guys. ive decided to make 1 suit this year, its going to be the biggest, most complicated yet, and i thought Ace hyena was hard hah! Ok, so i am Making Magtheridon the Pit Lord, yes, it's a World of Warcraft boss. here are some ref pics of him: http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e255/Shaggy_Griffon/Magtheridon%20ref/Mag6.jpghttp://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e255/Shaggy_Griffon/Magtheridon%20ref/Mag5.jpghttp://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e255/Shaggy_Griffon/Magtheridon%20ref/Mag4.jpghttp://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e255/Shaggy_Griffon/Magtheridon%20ref/magtheridon.jpghttp://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e255/Shaggy_Griffon/Magtheridon%20ref/Mag7.jpgnow, this will be a 1 person costume(blue person in ref), what i plan to do is on this pic: http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e255/Shaggy_Griffon/Magtheridon%20ref/plan1.jpgi will hold up the torso part by suspenders around my shoulders(green line), and have the chest/arm parts slip on me like a shirt(purple). it wil have padding since Mag has a buffed chest. His wings(orange) will be attached to the back of the bottom part, and wired so they swing a bit while i move. Now, the difficult part 1. how do i make a pattern to make the back part? my legs will be in his front legs, my arms in his arms, but those back legs+tail(yellow), will be entirely stuffed, and the green flame he has going up his back to his neck will be stuffed, i obviously cant have real flame hah. i want the back legs to move in tune to mine, and he walks both left legs, then both right and so on so forth. so i was thinking attach something so when i move my leg leg forward, the back left leg moves too. and i want the tail to gradually swing left/right as i walk, kinda waddle, because his tail is just like a crocidile's. now for materials, i was thinking using hunter's green seal fur from Crcrafts, shaggy neon gren from distinctive for the flame, pinkish PVC vynil for the wing membranes, olive-yellow seal fur OR something like fake suede for the underbelly "scales" on his chest, stomach and underside of tail. then make his spikes stuffed out of felt or something. then his tuskes out of tooldip+painted. i would see out of his mouth, so that would have to be painted buckrum, or something else? suggestions? the last big thing is his armor. what can i make his breastplate, bracers, and pauldrons out of? i have no idea, the shoulders would be connected together by leather string or something, so it goes ontop of my shoulders before i put on the head. And the chains holding up his breastplate i can use those fake plastic chains you find at costume stores (aka my local Party City store). and i guess i would permanetly attach the bracers, since his arm will be like mostly foam for the muscle/buff look. this is a BIG project. i plan to take him to BlizzCon, AC, and other events. Project 2008: Magtheridon, is in the planning stages now, then i have to collect the money for all the materials, then acutally make him. this will be both fun and a challenge. but im willing to try it, most definetly. now to get started, Shaggy Griffon | | Saturday, December 15th, 2007 | | 11:44 am |
