The Newcomer

Wait, what is this? I'm not a what; I'm a who. I''m Murphy.

Yeah, well "what" are you doing here? I live here now.

No, this can't be! I'm the only dog mom draws with flopped-over ears. There can't be two of ous! (Well at least mine are natural.)

No, this isn't fair! I don't want another brother! I didn't ask for another brother! Ha ha! How do you think I felt when you showed up, you little runt?

Hey, what's with the superhero cape? Mommy only draws ME with a black cape! (This isn't a cape. It's just my coloring.)

No, this can't be happening! Not again! I can see this is going to be a fun place to live.

Everyone is going to love me, aren’t they?

Whether a new baby or a new puppy, this Teddy Bears and Hearts Patchwork Quilt would make a cozy way to welcome them into your family. This quilt, and other fine gifts, are available from my shop at L Bowman Studios.

  - He’s wonderful. And the reactions of his angel brothers are spot on.

    - I’m betting you can’t wait to have a similar problem introducing new pups to your home!

Poor Toby. Who could ever have forecast the rise of an usurper?
