So recently I’ve been feeling down about my career in the arts
For the support and guidance has been limited
Despite its significance to our daily well being
I have tried and tried as many have throughout my life
To make a mark, give a message, and fill hearts.
I speak for many when I say
Adapted we have and as resilient as they come
Facing failure and still standing strong
We are here with determination, passion and with pride
And Here we will stay bringing art to your daily lives.

Dog Number 13
May 15, 2023 Strange things are happening. Good-strange, bad-strange, and strange-strange. For starters, me and all my litter mates are able to stand. Some of us can even wiggle around in a clumsy manner. I say wiggle because it isn’t quite walking but it isn’t quite crawling. We just sort of stand and wiggle and fall and take a few steps and then crawl and then get up again. It is in this manner we are able to move around to some degree and explore our surroundings. Naturally we cannot go far. Which is ok, I suppose, because I am very small and I need my mother for food and my siblings to keep me warm and I feel very loved and comforted by them in some way, so I don’t know why I would need to go very far. Having four legs, I must admit, is very strange. It is not a surprise to me that it is challenging to coordinate them to move in the order they need to move. But I can get around a little bit, my eyes can stay open for much longer periods of time now, and it is easier to understand what is happening. So this is new.
