delayed replies and a little update in life

Hello everyone : D

First I want to wish everyone a happy autumn. It's the most beautiful, colorful and inspiring season :"D I just love it (what you should see on my journal skin already, haha).

I'm still alive but heavily behind with replies. Sorry for that. You all are just too awesome with your nice comments. I love them, they mean everything to me (a big thank you here) but I hope you understand if it takes a little longer for me to reply. I'm currently working on a few commissions that have to be finished so they'll arrive in time for christmas so I have to be less active. 

My dogs Megumi and Voitto are also happy and healthy. Poor Megumi (my rescue Akita) did a lot of progress with her fear issues. I could let her walk off leash through the village center and she didn't panik at all not even when people crossed closely or even touched her while passing by. But four weeks ago she got a backslide out of the blue. She suddenly was affraid of the main road even if no one was there. It was hard to train because there was no chance to find out the trigger. Poor girl. She even was scared about things she never had a problems with like bags standing around or tiny dogs barking (she normaly really loves little dogs). Another problem is that Megumi already doesn't eat much but when she's so stressed due to fear she often eats nothing not even her favourite treats. She's already underweight and you can see her spine on the back. But I gave her homeopathy pellets and started my fear training program from step one. I've been successful : ) she again doesn't get panik attacks and she even masters her nightmares (the train station and a building lot), she becomes agitated but rarely has her tail between the legs. YAY! Humans are still scary for her but she became a little bit interested in them which is a great thing. I reinforce each single curious move torwards humans. She also eats occasionally : D double-yay
Now that her extreme fear is gone again, she can be the happy girl she is. She's so lovable and cute and caring. Megumi and Voitto also have a lot of fun on our walks in nature and run and play. Megumi's never feared nature, so she can be herself there. Voitto's a big help. He stays calm and shows Megumi together with me that there's nothing she must be afraid of.

So, have a great time and be creative. I'll get to your replies soon.
