You can hug me….especially if it’s raining.
Geordie was a funny guy. For the most part he was a very brave and independent pup. Once in a while, though, he would get his feelings hurt or scare himself with thoughts of the boogeyman, and the he wanted mom to make everything better.
I’m still here if you need me, puppy!

An Armed Forces Themed Alphabet Quilt is a great way to introduce little ones to the world Mommy and/or Daddy work in. it could be a gift to a hero who has already served.
Each picture is hand appliqued and hand embroidered. There is an incredible amount of detail in this piece, taking hundreds of hours of work. The method used for making this type of quilt is paper-basting applique which is done entirely by hand. First each block is broken down into colors, then paper pattern pieces are created for each color. Starting from the background to the foreground, each each layer is sewn with tiny stitches, then pull the paper out either from the back or the side. After this, all details are embroidered by hand. Once assembled, the quilt top, batting and backing are basted and quilted. The binding is also applied by hand. The border on this quilt is quilted in a stars and stripes swag design. Quilt has not been pre-washed, so when you do wash it, it will develop that lovely, crinkled look. Each quilt I make is not only a quilt, but a work of art.
This Armed Forces Alphabet Quilt and other fine gifts are available at my shop at L Bowman Studios.

SADLY THE LAD IS RIGHT !!!!
ALL A MADEUP FAIRYTAIL !!
OR PUPPY TAIL
But how we wish it were true! 💕
I agree that the “cuddly puppy” is largely mythological. At least in this household.
Poor Reiko just hasn’t realized what comfort humans can offer her. 🥲💕
AW!!! and HA!!! So sweet! 🙂 I think most pups feel like Geordie…gotta’ be the protector, but sometimes needing (and wanting) to be the protectee. 🙂 ❤️ Then he’s like, “Okay. Hugs are accepted right now. Brine ’em on!” 😉 😀
Thoughts of love and (((HUGS))) for Geordie and Toby!!
Thoughts of love and (((HUGS))) for Murphy and Mom!!
❤️❤️(っᵔ◡ᵔ)っ(ˆ◡ˆc) ❤️❤️
When we were on walks, Geordie would decide to flop down on the grass and refuse to move. I would then threaten him with kisses as a way to motivate him. (Ew! No yucky mommy kisses in public!). 😂
Thank you. We love the hugs and love! – Murphy ❤️💕
Oopy…bring, not brine 😮 😛
We like brine! – The Shrimp
Hershey and Winkie were total cuddlebugs. Toffee, not so much. ::sigh::
Geordie and Toby weren’t but Murphy is. (The catch is that he only really likes snuggling with my mom. 😂)
Aw, I’m sorry Toffee is so independent and not much of a cuddle bug. It’s so special when you can find one that is! 💕
Maverick tolerates a cuddle once in a while, but on his terms and at his time. Max was a total snuggle butt, Maverick is a honey badger. Unless threre are thunder boomers or fireworks, and even then, he wants to go into his dark and cozy den and be left alone. He has been more cuddly lately because, under the honey badger, is a puppy who senses how shaky Mommah is inside right now.
He sounds like a perfect companion! ❤️
He’s a honey badger and I don’t know what I’d do without him
