Happy Easter from Bitey and Toby!
Imaginative
Insanity Avoidance Kitty 4
Oops. It didn’t work. I’m insane.
******************************************************
On Tuesday, Toby will have his first wellness exam/vaccination day under new business rules. I am a little bit disappointed because I won’t get to see how he behaves around new dogs. I am secretly happy, though, because I won’t have to see his accusing stares as he has his nails clipped and gets jabbed by nasty needles.
Jabbed by what, you say?
*************************************
Help keep small business alive. Order a copy of Dream Our World (from Amazon) or a piece of custom artwork from L Bowman Studios! 
You don’t want Toby to have to go out with his begging bowl, do you?
Buckeyes
Just wait till you see what I left for you in your shoe.
**********************************************
Are you stuck at home for the next two weeks? Possibly with small children who need to be both entertained and educated? Then get yourself a copy of Dream Our World! Dream Our World will allow you to introduce your children to something called “books” that were made from trees in the old days.
Inside, Bitey and Toby visit a museum (all the real ones are closed, by the way) and view the world of art from a canine perspective. They also get to explore the museum without any supervision. Do they act like little gentlemen or naughty puppies? Hmmm, I wonder…
Dream Our World is available from Amazon.
Be Careful When You Sleep
(My Mom calls him “Toby of the Butt Tuft.”)
Before
After
Eventually things get evened out.
****************************************************
To have more fun at my boys’ expense, pick up a copy of Dream Our World. Inside, you will get to see the world of art through the eyes of my two pups.
This would be a great book to have on hand if the grand kids are off school yet you need to keep them entertained as well as educated. Famous works are recreated and reinterpreted in various mediums all while injecting a touch of humor into each piece or artwork.
Dream Our World is available from Amazon.
Fever Dreams
I come upon a river of sandpaper and razor blades.
This water is no fun to drink.
Maybe if I lie on my other side, it will get better.
(Not my picture.)
Take note of the hayricks!
The what? Haystacks?
Hayricks! Remember the Hayrick Protocol!
Gather the yellow circles. See how they give you strength? Grab them. Stab them with the fork.
Yes, I guess I do feel better.
Splat! Morning arrives with red and green, but no Christmas. Soon, an entire laundry load of handkerchiefs. This shouldn’t happen to a woman. It is something teenage boys would enjoy – waving their gelatinous banners in arms held high while chasing little sisters around the house to hear them scream.
I raise my arm and stare at it. Crepey,..crepey… When did this happen? I can’t remember, but I keep staring.
Relax. You don’t have to worry. The cigarettes are legal now.
But cigarettes already were legal.
Relax! Don’t you feel better now that they are legal? The trunk of your car is filled with them. You can rest.
Two nights slip by so softly and silently I am not aware of their coming or going. It is bliss.
(Why does she get to cough, but I get yelled at for barking?)
Toby has stopped hiding my slippers and stealing my sandwiches. Now he keeps vigil at the door, waiting to save me from the fever.
I didn’t get the present I wanted. For my birthday, I wanted a masseur to travel in time to this moment to fix my leg cramps. I still hurt; I must not have gotten my wish.
Oh, and don’t forget the local dentist who spent $82,000 on two commercials only to generate a mere $2,400 in business.
Is that true?
Is any of this?
************************************************
Once again, this post is based on actual events.
I’ve been ill for nearly three weeks, and I am sick and tired (ha ha) of this stupid virus. For the first two weeks, Toby was an ornery little devil who caused a lot of mischief because it was fun. By week three when the fevers started, he sensed something was different. Now he sticks close to me and gets concerned if a coughing fit is too strong. It is really nice to have someone who cares. Geordie just used to yell at me when I got sick. Ha! Such a different fellow!
******************************************
To visit a dream world that is a lot more fun than the ones where I have been recently, pick up a copy of Dream Our World. Inside, Bitey and Toby visit the Museum of the Imagination. There they envision themselves into the famous works of art and make commentary on each piece without saying a word.
This book is difficult to do justice in its description It really is a sweet and charming book with plenty of humor. Readers from grade school age through folks in their 90s have all enjoyed visiting with the boys.
Dream Our World is available from Amazon.
Toby’s Gotcha Day
Poor Toby got cheated in the special day department. His birthday falls near Christmas, and his Gotcha Day is on Valentine’s Day. He ends up sharing his celebrations with other events instead of having a time all to himself.
Sympathy gifts might help me feel better. I like tennis balls, stuffies and treats. (I wouldn’t say no to a pot roast, either.)
This is a picture of Toby arriving home for the first time. You can see in Geordie’s body language, he is saying, “Please, Grandma, get me out of this!”
Seriously. What is that thing? A hamster?!?
Can you find the teeny tiny puppy hidden in this picture?

Come have fun with my little monsters at the Museum of the Imagination. In Dream Our World, Bitey and Toby look at the world of art from a canine perspective and enjoy commenting on all the pieces.
Dream Our World is available from Amazon – and soon from a museum!
My Insanity Avoidance Cat
So far this month, I have had two businesses screw up orders/renewals which have resulted in my credit card statement being so huge that not only I want to throw up but it wants to throw up as well. So far the attitude of each business has been to pretend not to understand what I am complaining about when I contact them. I have terrible social anxiety, and I find it difficult enough to do this kind of work let alone have to do it over and over and over.
To try to keep myself away from my non-Japanese toilet thanks to anxiety stomach cramps, I decided to draw a kitty. An oddly-colored, hairless kitty. It may be one of the more unusual pieces I have done, but it did the trick of temporarily taking my mind off my woes.
These financial issues aren’t going to cut into my biscuit budget, are they?
Sorry buddy, they just might.
Oh yes, and on top of screwing up my billing, my web hosting company somehow managed to disconnected my domain from my site. If you were trying to reach me and couldn’t, you should be able to now. Grrrr…..
