Basalt

Oh good heavens, please tell me that's not what I think it is.  It sounds like you're dropping basalt.

*

Maybe you could use some more fiber in your diet.  I've been eating pumpkin wit my kibble, and it really helps.

*

You mean the pumpkin from the freezer?  But mommy froze that for me! Oh come on, there is enough pumpkin for all of us.

*

What?!  You've been eating my pumpkin too?  Why I oughta...

*

Pumpkin! Pumpkin! Pumpkin!

Last year I got at least 20 pumpkins from the garden. Trust me, there’s enough for all my guys.

ASL Alien Hand Pillow with Galaxies

*

Puppies, tell your moms how much you love them with this novelty Alien Hand Pillow. As with most aliens, this one conveniently speaks an earth language, saying “I love you” in ASL/American Sign Language.

This Alien Hand Pillow, along with many other fine gifts, is available from my shop at L Bowman Studios.

Find It

Hey new guy, wanna play a game? Sure. How do you play? You close your eyes and wait while I hide a biscuit. Then I'll all you, and you sniff till you find it. OK!

*

You're going to eat that whole box yourself, aren't you? Heck Yeah. Kidney Krisps are my favorite.

*

After all, what's he going to do about it?

*

Aw come on. Just give me the biscuit already!

I originally taught this game to Geordie. When Toby came along, I was worried that Geordie would understand the game better and get to the treats before Toby had a chance. Not. Toby caught on very quickly, and by Day 3 he was not only finding his biscuit but he was getting Geordie’s as well.

Without another dog to teach Murphy, it took him a tiny bit longer to catch on, but now he is ready to play every day. He is getting so good that I’m struggling for challenging hiding places for his treats.

Beds

Murphy Bed

As soon as I brought this bed home for Murphy, he crawled into it and didn’t come out for 16 hours.

What time is it? I don’t care. Just wake me when it’s spring.

How Can I Be Conflicted?

How can I be conflicted about getting a new dog? What does it say about me as a person – as a dog mom – that I haven’t already brought home a little beast?

Without the schedule restrictions of a fur family, I have been able to work more, and I really enjoy it. (But what do I do with all the money I earn? I put it in a fund toward adopting a pup.). When I cook, I cry because there is no one at my feet hoovering up my crumbs. On the other hand, it has been really wonderful sleeping through the night without being awakened by insane barking. 

So many of my friends tell of stopping to adopt a pup on the way home from having to let one go. So what’s wrong with me?

What’s wrong with you?Where shall I start?

Ringing In The New Year

So is that temporary or permanent?  TBD.

Oh what fun it is to still/again have Bell’s Palsy! 

I talked to two doctors. The first thought that I may not have cleared the Lyme’s disease that originally caused the Bell’s Palsy and that I needed more antibiotics. The second thought that I already cleared Lyme’s but am having lingering neurological effects from it (and I could be this way forever.) My original doctor only gave me a two week supply of antibiotics whereas the usual treatment for neurological Lyme’s is three weeks. To make sure I don’t have bacteria lingering inside me they gave me another three week course of antibiotics. Yay. Now I get to have an upset stomach and a fuzzy head for the rest of January.

No I’m not mocking you.Why?
