Hello everyone,

for the past two years... I've watched my life go from one hellish event to the next. I slowed and eventually cancelled all of my yarn tail commissions for the end of the 2013 year. I fell behind on trades, lost many of my friends, have been homeless, left my job at the disgusting puppy mill I didn't realize I worked for, lost my dad, got out of a toxic relationship, gained a new one...

my life has been a living nightmare for so long that all I can do is say I'm sorry, and I have no idea how I'm gonna get back on track.

I'm currently homeless and living with a couple of friends who are moving across the country in a couple short weeks. After leaving the puppy mill on terrible terms, I lost my main source of income and lost my apartment. I'm back and now trying to sell some premade tails to raise money for a security deposit. Yesterday I had an interview at the Humane Society in my area to be an adoption counselor, so I know that it's all starting to fall back into place and I feel that I might finally have a hold on life.

It's been horrible. But I have my dogs, and I have myself, and I have David who has helped me through this huge mess. He has literally seen me at my worst in so many situations that I sometimes worry if he wonders if there's a "best" haha. Holding me while crying on the bathroom floor, buying me socks and care packages, he has been absolutely amazing to me and I couldn't have made it through without him.

To the group of furry friends whom I will not name here who donated the safe a couple years back... you have no idea how much that has helped me when I left the toxic relationship a few months ago.. saved many of my things from being destroyed. Thank you again, Phoenix (This is not the username of the person who donated the safe, just a call name to show my thanks).

This photo was taken the morning after I became homeless. My face was swollen from crying all night, my dog was tired from pacing and worrying by my side all night long, and it represents the fact that even though I literally lost pretty much everything, I still had some lip gloss and my dogs and that's all I needed to make it through.

I love you all, and I will try my best to get back into my groove and flood your submissions lists with my tails again. : )
