Ball Fetching Must Wait

I’ve fallen regrettably behind on blog posts. Life got busy, and then it tipped right over into chaos. Between the day job’s tight deadlines, family emergencies, and another health scare for Henry, my book updates ended up taking a backseat.

The good news? I never lost momentum with the artwork. I grabbed every scrap of free time I could to colour the drawings: on my front porch in the warm sun, under the dim light of a red-eye flight, tucked into a tent on a little getaway, during the hockey playoffs, half-listening to the news, in the ER waiting room, on the ferry, in bed before sleep, and even swinging in the island hammock. You get the idea — the book has been my constant companion.

And through it all, Henry has been by my side. Page after page, he waited patiently, even when it meant another game of fetch had to wait for tomorrow. I’m grateful for his quiet loyalty — and for allowing me to make possible this big projects and dream of mine..
