This is how my new life started.

And baby, look at me now!

My Gotcha Day was really Saturday, but mom was too preoccupied to put my post up. Anyway, I spent the day in bed. Exactly what I wanted! 😊

I Don’t Wanna Go Out!

No, I don’t wanna go out. You can’t make me!
(And I couldn’t. He peed on the chair. ☹️)
How We Are Faring In The Wild Weather

Well, Murphy is perfectly happy after the storm. He’s had plenty of rest and Good Boy treats.
Mommy on the other hand, is pretty much exhausted from shoveling. It’s not that so much snow fell, but I have to shovel frequently and down to the grass because a certain someone can’t stand snow touching his tummy when he goes out to pee.

I can’t imagine who she is talking about..

Anniversary
Yesterday (very late yesterday…in fact it was almost today) Word Press sent a congratulations on our twelfth anniversary here. Yay! 🎉 🎊
It Started With The Twins…
Last year my niece had twins. I wanted to make something nice for them, so I chose little dresses and cardigans. When I finished with the outfits, there was still some yarn and ribbon leftover. That led to this:
I used the yarn and ribbon and some fabric from my stash to make these. They were donated to the church to help new mothers in need.
********************
You’re lucky I’m a good boy or I would have chewed up those dinosaurs.
My motives were not entirely altruistic, however. I counted the materials I used in my One Thing Each Day challenge.
******************
I know some of you have wondered what happened to us. Murphy is fine. Me not so much. In extremely rare cases, psoriasis can go to the eyes. I can’t win even a scratch off lottery ticket, but somehow I can do this.
Anyway, right now the glare from computer screens is too much for me for more than a few minutes at a time, so I can’t do Bitey Dog (or do online banking or file taxes. Eek!). As soon as I feel better, we’ll be back to telling bitey stories! 😊

I don’t see what you’re talking about. I feel fine.

Hey, don’t forget me! I broke too.
And I’m only right twice a day now!
*
These are a few of my busted up things! (Hmm, I can see why they went with the other version in the musical.)
These are only a few of the things that broke. If you added everything up, October was quite an expensive month. Uh oh Murphy, looks like a skinny Christmas this year!
As long as I get some biscuits, I’ll be happy.

Looking for ways to stay warm as the days cool down? Consider this rustic Bear Paw Quilt!
This handsome 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 snowy 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.

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!

In Memoriam:

Don’t make me go near that thing.
********************************
As if life weren’t busy enough, I had to get a new “toaster” this week. I brought it home to show Murphy, and he wouldn’t come within 10 yards of it. I guess I don’t have to worry about him borrowing it in the middle of the night…you know, to make toast.

And Again…

Ugh, are we still talking about this?

On the plus side, it is becoming easier to locate things when I want them. I am less likely to buy a duplicate because I can’t find the original.
I am an original, so you can always find me!

Tobymelon
Every year I end up with some unusual looking vegetables from the garden. This year wasn’t a great growing year, so I only have this offering. I planted the watermelons near the fence so that they would trellis themselves. This one obliged, but insisted on pressing itself into the mesh. To me it ended up looking a bit like Toby.
Here are some Chernobyl-style samples from previous years.

Lemme at ’em! I’ll make short work of those mutant vegetables!

I accidentally learned a lesson the hard way this week. I had a small amount of watermelon with my breakfast, and by evening I was so dizzy and sick that I could barely stand. Turns out that if you are hypotensive, watermelon can make your blood pressure drop dangerously low. (It you have hypertension, though, its combination of citrulline and potassium can help lower your blood pressure!) I spent the rest of the evening chugging water and lying down – a rather sloshy and uncomfortable combination.
Every time something like this happens, I wish I could send a big “Nya! Nya!” to my poopyhead doctor who refused to listen to me.
