Oh you know - I'm on the positive side, and happy for the exposure (my pal says too it's great portfolio material - now if only I actually HAD a portfolio?)...just grumbly that the news media...is the news media:) And thanks - blushing here, twisting a toe on the floor. Shucks! Ain't no big thing, really. The dog stuff was noticed from a gallery display I was involved in - the lesson, I think, being "..If you don't put it out there, no one can walk in and see it." Of course, I'm my own worst critic, and hate putting stuff out there...I slink into the corners at the events, nervous as hell...!

Thanks, Gale!
