The correct answer is always “three”.

What’s Wrong With Murphy?
*
*
It’s been dry here for years, so I haven’t had much opportunity to observe Murphy during rain or thunder. Turns out, Murphy’s not a fan. We only had very gentle, rumbling, far-away thunder, but that was enough to have him glued to my side for the night. He is OK with rain until it falls hard enough to make a sound on the roof.
He’ll be in trouble if our weather ever goes back to normal.
Distract me with treats, and I might feel more confident.

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! 😊
Toby’s TV Lament

Sadly, it only works for Toby.

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

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.

The Peacoat

I don’t know what you’re complaining about. My pee smells nice.

Bitey Mom may be making a joke about pee pills, but inside she is concerned. I know that little Murphy is only on loan from heaven, but I still don’t like seeing his health decline.

Cockeyed Optimist
*
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.

The Tube
*
I went to throw away a paper towel tube yesterday, but something stopped me. I realized that I still have an instinct to save cardboard tubes for Geordie to destroy. It’s funny the way these memories pop up at random times.
*
Me? A destroyer?
(OK, so 10 minutes after this picture was taken, every toy was shredded….)
I still miss that crazy boy.

Something Like the Sun
*
*
*
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?

Oops I Did It Again
*
My poor puppies. They have been so bored lately…only getting into trouble inside my head instead of on paper.
It’s my fault the puppies are so bored. I ended up getting Lyme disease again, and it totally wrecked my summer. I was surprised to find out I had it because my symptoms didn’t match the warning signs you are supposed to watch out for. Plus, the blasted tick was only on me for a few minutes. My understanding was that you couldn’t catch the disease in that short of a period of time. Well, it looks like you can if you’re immunocompromised.
When the doctor told me she thought I had Lyme, I said I was surprised. I told her this didn’t feel anything like it did the last time. She asked what it felt like last time. When I told her, her eyes got big, and she looked noticeably taken aback. “Wow,” she said, “you had a really bad case last time.” (Ha! I knew it. I knew I was sick even if no one wanted to take me seriously!)
I’ve been taking medication for the past several weeks, but I still have a bit to go. These antibiotics are so hard on me I feel like I might not make it to the end of the treatment. If you don’t hear from us for a while, it’s because the boys are keeping me company while I whine to them about how lousy I feel.
Better you than me!
You’re right, little puppy. Much better me than you.

Things That Go Bump In The Night
*
The other night I was tossing and turning, trying to get to sleep. Suddenly there was a thump and a bump from under my bed. Rather than being afraid, it made me smile. I had forgotten that when Geordie would sleep under the bed, he would bonk his head as he moved around. My little boy had come to visit and had given me exactly what I needed to find peace.
Thank you, stinky man.
*
Shh…you’re not supposed to see me!
