So, I may have found a collaborator for future stock!  :)  No solid plans yet, but I did get to meet the loverly :devstaffdancer: and family and hopefully we can both recharge our inspiration for our respective stock accounts. So that was very cool.

Also, still very involved in dog rescue.  Your help is needed here: http://shelterdiaries.blogspot.com/2010/02/help-needed.html .  And speaking of dogs, would stock of dogs of various breeds be useful to anyone?  Just wondering...

He never disobeyed when he could figure out what we wanted him to do.  He learned "sit" and had almost figured out "lie dow ]]> http://lockstock.deviantart.com/journal/We-have-a-new-addition-to-the-family-232258880 http://lockstock.deviantart.com/journal/We-have-a-new-addition-to-the-family-232258880 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 03:21:08 PDT We have a new addition to the family! nonadult journals/personal lockstock http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/l/o/lockstock.gif Copyright 2009-2013 `lockstock STOCK RULES
