Who me? But I’m totally innocent.
This evening I went to the computer and noticed that the mouse wasn’t working. I traced the cord back to the port to make sure it was secure and found that it wasn’t plugged in at all. This was the second time in a week that this has happened. Looks like Toby has found a new hobby….unplugging Mommy’s peripherals.
What do you do when the router is working? The same thing as when it’s out!
The theme of my last painting was Emotion. This one is Happy Memory. Originally I had wanted to create this painting using impasto and a knife, but the picture kept fighting back until it turned out this way.
Are you done now? It’s soooo boring when you work.
Toby really, really, really didn’t like me working on this picture. He positively exhausted himself with all of the stuff he shredded in disapproval.

Bitey’s blogs are likely to be a bit sparse for a while. After the last painting, I decided to start another. I had definite plans about what I wanted to do with this one, but the painting had something different in mind. I don’t know which one of us is going to win, but it promises to be a messy fight.
In the meantime, Toby is bored watching me work, so he has been trashing the house. I spend as much time picking up little bits of paper off of the floor as I do painting.
I decided to do a painting!
I haven’t been able to paint since Toby was a puppy. Shortly after he came here he developed a UTI which led to potty training issues which were replaced by him turning into a naughty dog who loves to play chase more than he likes being good.
This time, though, Toby surprised me by being a little sweetie and lying on the floor beside me while I worked. Like his brother, though, he likes to be where I put the lid to my Masterson. I guess it is inevitable that I will have puppies with colorful fur.

Yesterday I was in the garden when a moth came around and kept batting itself into me. No matter how much I shooed it, it kept coming back. Afterward, I delivered a zucchini to a neighbor and mentioned the incident to her. She said a moth did the same thing to her and even got caught in her hair. Some believe that moths and butterflies are souls coming back to visit us. While I appreciated the visit, I didn’t understand what “flap, flap flap” meant.
A little while later I was picking berries when I heard an insistent tapping noise. I looked around and saw that it was a moth in a death struggle with a yellow jacket. They fought and fought for the longest time. Eventually I turned away to keep picking and lost sight of them. When I went to put more berries in my bucket, though, they fell out of an overhead branch and into bucket. I don’t know how, but the bee had dragged the moth up into the bush. They kept fighting until the bee forced the moth to the bottom of the bucket, then it ate the moth. When the bee flew away, all that was left was a pair of wings.
I’d never seen anything like that before. I wondered if that was the moth that kept hitting my neighbor and me. Perhaps she was Cassandra and knew her fate and was asking for help.
Why didn’t you eat the moth? We would have.

Ice cream and cupcakes
and days at the pool.
Friends’ birthday parties
with no thoughts of school.
Kicking off sandals,
feet covered in dust.
To have this much fun,
a great dress is a must.
If you know a little Cassandra in your life who might like this pretty pastel sundress, send her to my store! This is a one-of-a-kind dress just waiting for the perfect little girl.
…but this time he failed thanks to my bad knee. I couldn’t move fast enough, and Toby wasn’t able to catch the toad.
Two summers ago we weren’t so lucky, and Toby did manage to lick a toad. At first I thought he had eaten a dandelion gone to seed and was shaking the white fluff off his tongue. Nope. We had several hours of rinsing his mouth while watching to see if he needed to be rushed to the emergency vet.
So, do puppies learn from their mistakes? Not my boy!

Feeling the need to yark after eating a toad? Consider doing it in one of these eco-friendly, reusable totes! Made of 100% cotton shell and lining, it washes up in a snap and can be pressed, if you would like. The dog-themed print will be a perfect fit for any epicurious pup.
These tote bags also make great gift presentation bags. It is always good when you can keep refuse out of the landfill!
Available at my store.
Yes, most likely.
Long ago, in the Before Times, I used to store things under the bed. A.D. (After Dogs), I can only put things there that I don’t mind being chewed to bits. Since that is pretty much nothing, I can’t imagine what Toby was doing. Whatever it was, it was probably not good.

I saw part of a program on TV recently about evidence of alien abductions. Just in case they are right, maybe we can get on the aliens’ good side with a friendly welcoming gift like this Alien Hand “I Love You” Pillow.
You know….just in case E.T. uses a TTY instead of a phone.
(Alien Hand Pillow is available from my store.)
