Alright, I just couldn't restrain myself with this one. But I just think about Sandusky and his cute little helmet thing when I look at this picture:  |

Like you said, I know that you would want to preserve Noki's memeory in a way that everyone would remember him, but still, I'm not quite sure about the options that you listed. I apologize.... I was thinking maybe plant a tree or erect some kind of statue in honor of him instead? On that note, one could easily consider John's work a tribute to Noki.  |

I've just thought about a really funny storyline. I frequently work 50-60 hour weeks so I have a bit of experience in the sleep deprivation area. I wonder what would happen if Sandusky tried to "cure" his narcolepsy (with Red Bull?) and got insomnia instead? I think the idea has potential.
/Thought I would throw it out.

Here's a painting I did for the sanctuary in remembrance of Noki.  |

It is a lovely piece of artwork; I especially love the eyes, they seem so real. Agreed, I've been just sitting here examining the detail and enjoying every moment of it. However my subconscious keeps telling me that the left ear is weird. Why I have no idea?  I think it's my screwy eyesight getting tripped up again because of the way I perceive 3d vs 2d. Also, what does "Noki" mean? Never thought of that. Best I could find is that it's either a race in the video game "Super Mario Sunshine" or an iPhone app. Something tells me that neither of those is correct.  |

Thanks. You're right, it wasn't quick. It was therapeutic, though.
It's amazing what a little reflection can do for the realism.
It was short for Noquet, I believe, which is a Native American tribe from the upper peninsula of Michigan. His sister's name is Coquille (Cookie for short).
The inside of the ear should be a bit darker, but the formatting on Photobucket often messes up some of the colors a bit. It looks better when I view it in Photoshop or printed out.

That's probably it. I'm on my netbook now and don't feel like dinking with MS-Paint to tweak the brightness and see. Oh my, I forgot about her. How is she coping without Noki? |

Once again, I am completely powerless to restrain myself, but I must announce that the litter I am getting my puppy from was born last Saturday the 24th!! <3 <3 The pictures of the puppies can be seen here: www.pnkennel.com/Nursery.htmlAnd I get first pick of the litter too, by the way.  |

I'm still not sure when Sandusky will resume. I have tried to work on it, but I haven't gotten very far just yet. I don't want to give another date, because I don't want to miss another date. Rest assured, I will finish the Holy Grail storyline. But, as of right now, I can only say that it will update when it updates. Sorry everyone.

I had wondered what happened, when I finally noticed the lack of updates, so I figured the answer would be found here in the forums.
So sorry to hear about the loss of Noki. Four years seems a bit young for a cougar, though, isn't it?
