Pink Unicorn Pug

Happy Halloween!

- robin

Happy Halloween! I have always loved Halloween. It marks the beginning of Autumn for me and it is a time of whimsy and joyful moments As the middle of three daughters, I wore many hand me down costumes and even now, looking back as an adult I did not care. It was always so much fun.

In 2005, Larry was very busy with his work. Opening up the North Texas district was his job and starting an op-co for his company was always a number one goal.

I was also busy, teaching ART classes for the city and creating ART was my joy.

The first of October, 2005, I stared a new project. A costume for my pug dog and then, Libby became Pink Unicorn Pug. On October 13, 2005, I had a photo shoot with her at the local greenhouse and now, fifteen years later, Libby in that costume still makes me smile. The photo went viral as there are 1 .5 million hits on her pink unicorn video and the greeting cards using the photo are still being sold, even though my contract with the card company has run out.

Pink Unicorn Pug is my all time favorite costume. Libby loved it too. (Libby passed away in 2017)

I do not dress for Halloween any longer but I adore being part of celebrations, parties and Tricks and Treats.

Have a happy Halloween. Be safe and know that the spirit of The Pink Unicorn Pug is smiling on us all…..

Love you beyond the moon and stars.

Sixteen Years Ago Today

- robin

Sixteen years ago, on this day,

we adopted Libby Luna Pug Dog.

She was the sweetest puppy!

Now, when we are out and shopping,

we see the Halloween card that AVANTI Press

produces with her unicorn face,

and it always makes me cry.

It feels like yesterday when I made her unicorn costume

and

went to the local greenhouse to take the shots.

A friend said: you are still struggling with Libby’s death?

Why, yes, I am.

She was with me when my family turned their backs on me.

Libby was my family, she was with me during family times

and

dealing with my breast cancer.

Libby, today I toast you!

You perfect pug dog

and

pink unicorn.

I love you so much.

***

Larry and I had colds and the flu this weekend.

Sunday, dinner and a movie was cancelled.

It looks beautiful outside today,

It might be a perfect day to start a painting.

Love you beyond the Pink Unicorn Pug.

I Spent Her Money

- robin

Last year, my most amazing dog  and best friend, {Libby}

made some money.

A bank in Southern CA

used 3 seconds of a video I made of her, for their commercial.

When the check came in I cashed it and carried the entire

amount in my wallet.

That was  one year ago.

I have carried that money for one year,

hoping to find something meaningful as a remembrance.

Libby will be 16 in a few weeks and has been ill.

Today I found what I had been looking for.

I cried when I saw it.

This statue is in honor of Libby.

Made by Lladro, a retired  piece titled

“Dogs Best Friend”

***

I felt, as long as I had Libby’s money in my wallet,

nothing could happen to her.

She has had a difficult few weeks

 and today I spent her money.

All deals are off Sweet Libby Luna.

Do what you need to do.

I love you so much.

Me.
