The New Sweater (or How Rocky Road Can Keep You Warm)

Hand Knit Man's Rocky Road Cardigan

This is the project I have been working on lately, to the great dismay of my pups.  They don’t like when anything takes my attention away from them…especially little Toby.  There was much howling and crying for love as I constructed this dark brown beauty that somehow makes me hungry for ice cream whenever I am around it.

Little do they realize that these projects are what keeps them in biscuits and peanut butter – two things that they are absolutely certain they would die without.   I must make more sales in the near future, though.  Soon the weather will be warm, and they will be expecting doggie ice cream.

You weren’t kidding about that ice cream, were you?

The Easter Egg

I can’t remember the last time I had an Easter egg to find.  You can imagine my surprise when I was heading out to look at the garden and found this little guy sitting on the backs step!

Robin's egg sitting on porch step.

He was just so perfect and Easter-y looking in his aqua shell.

A Tired Mommy Is a Good Mommy!

Cover 8 (800x778)

Well, here is it!  Available at Amazon, if you would like to check it out.

Putting this book together was a tremendous amount of fun, and I am greatly looking forward to doing another.   I know a lot of bloggers out there would love to be discovered by a real publisher, but if there is any project that is dear to your heart – that you would love to be able to hold in your hands right now – then I encourage you to give this a try!   It is very satisfying to have creative control of everything from the dimensions of the book to the font(s) to the cover art.

Go ahead and publish!  What have you got to lose?

And Now We Wait….

Today we submitted our formatted book interior and our cover art.  They made it through the first review, and now we have to wait to be presented with a proof.  After that, we either approve the book or redo the work until it is right.  I am hoping that things are correct because after looking at this content over and over and for so long, I don’t really see it anymore.  I can say that the pups are much happier now that I am not at the computer so many hours each day.  This afternoon we got to play with one of their friends as well as chase tennis balls and flashlight beams.

And now we wait….

Peeing on each other.

How the boys celebrated our time outside today.

Still Alive

It has been way too long since poor Bitey got to tell a story.  Don’t worry, more are on the way.  We have been working together on creating a book based on The Adventures of Bitey Dog.  Since we started the project, we have had a number of obstacles, but it appears we are getting close to publishing.  Once the book is ready, we will post a link to it here so that you can check it out if you would like.

(This is only hopeful thinking….our grass is still dead from winter.)

Wishing you all a great week of avoiding doing your taxes!

Schroedinger’s Computer

Rose

Roses are red.

Psychedelic Pup

Hippies like beads.

BSOD

We all just got

A BSOD.

Although I have been following instructions to troubleshoot and possibly fix  the BSOD, I am scared to turn on the computer.  What if I didn’t fix the problem, and my hard drive escapes this mortal coil without me?  If I don’t turn the computer on, it will remain in a state where it both does and doesn’t work.    Somehow I like that option.  It is cheaper.

Sac de Chien

Cairn terrier puppy wearing green sweater yawns as he plays with boring toilet paper.

Playing with TP

is so very lame.

Each boring white square

is always the same.

If you want a toy

that is totally “bien”

Then the toy that you want

is the sac de chien!

Two doggie waste bags.

Blue ones for puppy boys.

Pink ones for girls.

Just pull the loose end

till the whole roll unfurls!

The dog with these bags

strung like long strands of pearls

Is the luckiest pup in the

entire world!

Cairn terrier puppy with green sweater runs while pulling poop bags behind him.
