Toby’s TV Lament

I'm sad. Oh why? I have a favorite TV show that I've watched for years. I always figured they'd get tired of making it before I tired of watching it.

*

The latest season, though, feels recycled and lazy. The sad thing is that if the show gets cancelled, they will blame politics instead of less than stellar writing.

*

The whole experience left me with a bad taste in my mouth. I wish someone would come along with a big pencil and just erase the latest season from my memory so I could just remember the happy times.

*

Funny, I know someone...

*

Sadly, it only works for Toby.

*

I only care about TV if there is a ringing doorbell.

Bear Paw Quilt

Looking for ways to stay warm? Consider this handmade, handquilted Bear Paw Quilt!

Made of a patchwork of calicoes and flannels, this rustic Bear Paw Quilt would fit in nicely at a cabin by the lake or thrown over your couch at home.  The pattern is geometric, and the colors are bold yet earthy.  The overall effect of the quilt is of paw prints in snow.  On sunny days, the colors look so inviting it is hard not to lie down on them and take a nap.

Handmade Bear Paw Quilt and other fine gifts are available from my shop at L Bowman Studios.

Hallowhat?

What are you supposed to be? I'm a chrysanthemummy.

*

Geordie used to like dressing up for Halloween.

Murphy…not so much.

That brother of mine may have been your costume whore,

but I like being a naked little boy!

Mesozoic Musings

Have you ever wondered what dinosaurs smelled like. Can't say that I have.

*

I imagine that the stench of one huge dinosaur would be as if everyone in California's garbage had been left out to cook in the hot sun while the trash collectors were all on strike for a month. What an image.

*

Yeah, I think I'd like dinosaurs. You're a weird little dog.

*

They say the dinosaurs that survived the meteor are what we now call “birds”.

In that case, I KNOW I like dinosaurs…especially chicken ones!!!

Murphy and the Watermelon

Hey guys! You gotta see this. It's the best thing ever!

*

What's going on? Looks like you got yourself a watermelon!

*

Interesting fact about watermelon...it's a diuretic.

*

*

Send more watermelon!

*

The watermelons in the garden are finally ripe enough to pick. While most of the other foods this year were pretty awful, the watermelons are amazing. I found one about the size of a softball to give to Murphy. He immediately declared it to be the best food ever and ate the whole thing, rind and all.

I tried to keep an eye on him, but Nature took its course when my back was turned.

*

You’ll have to pay closer attention to my subtle clues.

Murphy has learned a trick from the whole incident. Now if he thinks I am taking too long to get him outside, he starts sniffing the leg of the chair that he peed on. Suddenly mom can move very quickly!

Something Like the Sun

I have a friend with such incredible energy. Being around her is like standing in the sun. She lights up a room and brightens everyone's mood.

*

I am the antithesis of this friend. My dark energy drains everyone around me and makes them unhappy. I'm don't feel as exotic as a black hole. I'm more of a...a....

*

An "ask hole"? I was going to say "charcoal".

*

I was watching a TV show where a psychic medium said that the personalities of people stay the same even after they cross over. Ouch. I was hoping the suckiness of my circumstances contributed to my awful personality, but now it looks like it may be organic. I guess I won’t be able to stand my own company in the next world either.

*

Really? You’re taking life advice from TV shows?

Modern Love

How about this one? This one is my favorite. What are you two doing?

*

We're looking for girlfriends online. I'm using S'Bark. And I'm using SniffMyButt.com!

*

Oh my gosh, puppies these days! You're not supposed to look online for girls. You're supposed to pee on things to let them know you're interested!

*

Look!! A place for naughty girls! What did you guys say?

*

Asheltie Madison! Did somebody say "Sheltie"?!?

*

From the time he was a puppy Geordie had a type – he liked Shelties!

(And true to his dog nature, he didn’t care if they were in a committed relationship or not.)

What can I say? I had a “type”.

There’s a girl over there? Let me hide behind you. I’m too shy to talk!

Lightning in a Bottle

I've done it! I'm going to make a million dollars!

*

What have you done, puppy? You know how lightning free nitrogen atoms which then dissolve in water and rain down to earth as fertilizer? Yes....

*

I've harnessed that energy and trapped it for consumers in this convenient container. It will make their plants grow lush and green.

*

I know you can't have actual lightning in that bottle, so what's really in there? My pee!

*

Now whenever anyone fertilizes their lawn, it will be mine. Pretty soon every plant on the planet will belong to me, and humans will pay ME to do it! Ew, nobody is going to want that.

*

We can trick people into putting our pee on their lawns?! How do we get in on that action?

*

Now I feel like an idiot for doing it one drop at a time.

I found out recently that there is something called Green Lightning that can create nitrogen for fertilizer using electricity, water and air. The company says it uses about the same amount of energy as a toaster. They claim it can pay for itself in a year. So how much does it cost? First the low down payment of $97.00…then a second payment of $11,500.00 and a final payment of $27,040.00. Easy peasy lemon squeezey! (Guess we’ll have to stick to dog pee.)

Toiletries

Toiletries...isn't that a redundant term?

*

I’m all done with my tree. Can I come in now?

I’ll spare you the details and just say that things are happily back to normal with Murphy now!

Reps

Guys, I'm lifting 1/10th of my body weight. Why am I not getting any bigger? Well, how many reps are you doing?

*

Reps?

*

I have been doing nearly two hours of upper body work every other day for six months, and my arms are just as scrawny as they were when I started. How do I know? I need to measure them when ordering braces or compression sleeves. What will I need to do to bulk up? I can’t do those raw egg shakes like Rocky did.

*

I can! I can! My tummy is all better, and I want FOOD!

Working Out

Hey guys, I've been working out. Can't you tell? Who is talking to us? Where's mom? When did Arnold Schwarzenegger get here? Someone is going to need a whole new wardrobe!

*

Thanks to (a bunch of crap nobody cares about) I have been in PT using arm bikes, lifting weights and working with resistance bands for several months. After all this time I am practically unrecognizable.

Get a load of them guns!

And you thought she was kidding about that stick figure.

The sad part? I look much better now than when I started.
