A little off-topic but is your pup a sheperd mix or pure GSD?
Jean she is pure German Shepherd, long fluffy hair and all.

Hi Beth,

Mine is 5 years old now and about 70 lbs. We have two females in the house right now, not a good idea. Two female shepherds will fight to the death over dominance so we have to keep them separate. They are wonderful animals, beautiful, smart, loyal. Yours has such an amazing face! It will be fun to see her grow up, be sure to post updates for me (or e-mail them to me direct so we don't "clutter" up the forum with animal posts)!

Jean

Somebody has to be the bad guy, and I've got nothing to lose . . .

So, everyone, it's Shepherd. S-h-e-p-h-e-r-d. Think sheep herder.

Oops! And I know better my fingers just missed the h. I will correct it as the noble SHEPHERD should not be maligned by bad spelling.

Hi Beth,
Good luck setting up your studio. I am just getting mine together and yesterday installed lumichrome lighting over my north windows - just started with two bulbs instead of Marvin's five. I also have a lumichrome over my easel. So last night I was happy as can be working away in my studio, listening to my tunes and working on a commission (Heaven on Earth!!) when everything went black.

I blew a fuse. Seems that while I got the windows I wanted, two north facing, the stationary sink, hot and cold water, vaulted ceiling for my "future" portfolio, etc., I did not get the proper wiring. I was fuming when I called the builder and left a less than pleasant message on his VM.

Patty, sorry to hear about your blackout.

The Lumichrome lamps are only forty watts each, so having three on is using only 120 watts worth of power. If your wiring can't tolerate that little, your contractor really screwed up so you were more than justified to blow your fuse.

I know. and from what little I know, looking at the electrical panel, they went as cheap as they could. But the contractor is meeting Jack at the house tomorrow, hopefully to fix the problem. the time it has taken to get the studio set up has been so frustrating. It seems, anymore than a day or two and I feel all disconnected if I am not drawing or painting - geesh can't these non-artists get that about us???!!

HI everyone,

I am just doing a little filing and housekeeping, so I moved this thread into the Studio section.

Chris can you come over?

Pat can you stand the glare from the lights?

Marvin does the "soft" box type fixture you have help with glare.

Steven... OK, OK we got it, but isn't Shepherd spelled with an "a" and no extra "h" in German? JK
