Toby gave this to Grandma for Mothers’ Day.
She said it was the best she’d ever seen him behave.

Memories
Hooves
Toby didn’t want me sitting in my chair today. He kept jumping up to get my attention. To make him happy I decided to lie down on the floor and keep him company. I was really tired, though, and I fell asleep almost as soon as I did. Unbeknownst to me, Toby brought over one of his hooves to entertain himself. He sat down next to me and pressed the hoof against the back of my legs while I slept. When I woke up my pants were soggy with drool, and I smelled like a barn. Thanks Toby!
Any time, mom. Any time.

Happy Easter
Happy Easter from Bitey and Toby!
(I like remembering my boys together.)
Kick the Snow!
Come on, mom, kick the snow!
Here is Toby staring at my boots telling me to start the game.
This has got to be Toby’s favorite game in the whole world. Every time it snows, we play “Kick the Snow’ for hours. Look at those teeth! Look at those claws! This boy is dead set on killing himself some snow.
My neighbor saw us playing and said of Toby, “He’s bat-shit crazy, isn’t he?”. Short answer: yes.
************************
If you and your beloved decided to get married on Valentine’s Day but you haven’t yet chosen a ring, be sure to buy a beautiful Royal Velvet Pillow for perfect presentation. Royal Velvet Pillow can also be used as a ring-bearer’s pillow during the ceremony. Once you’ve settled into a happy life together, your Royal Velvet Pillow can rest in a place of honor on your comfy couch.
Royal Velvet Pillow is available from my shop.
Shoveling Snow
Wheee!!
This is why I have lower back problems…because my boys are such good “helpers”.

This rustic Bear Paw Quilt will keep you warm on cold winter nights. Bear Paw Quilt would fit nicely at the cabin by the lake or thrown over the couch. The pattern is geometric, and the colors are bold yet earthy. The overall effect 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.
Bear Paw Quilt is available from my shop.
Introductions
Despite the similarity of their names, The Tobester does not like The Toaster.
Mom, you can’t draw a car for crap!

Christmas Cookies
I don’t usually bake cookies because…well….I’m lazy.
I still have an abundance of sweet potatoes from the garden, so I decided to try out a new recipe – Sweet Potato Cookies.
A surprise arrived when I went to make the cookies – a double yolked egg! I have no idea if they are good luck or not, but they did make the cookies extra cholesterol-y.
I got this cookie plate probably 30 years ago, but I never got to use it until now. I just felt like celebrating that the puppy and kitty finally got to watch for Santa.
Don’t I get to have some? I like sweet potatoes.
To make your celebrations even more festive, add this hand-stitched Chicken and Egg Bread Cloth to your table!
Foods will taste even better when their presentation is enhanced with hand made care. Chicken and Egg Bread Cloth is available from my shop.
Boots
Mommy’s boots and puppies’ boots
After a day of play.
They go with us on our ADventures
and then by the door they stay.
Climbing hills, breaking trails,
They go wherever we go.
We take them off when we say goodnight
And dream of more days of snow.
Ooh, tough break Toby.

Toby thought he liked snow until he encountered the deep stuff.
Now, like the rest of us, he is waiting for a thaw. *
