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.

Don't worry, Mom. I'll help.

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! Cairn terrier puppy hold his food bowl. You don’t want Toby to have to go out with his begging bowl, do you?

Tell Me Something Good

Woman and dog dance with joy at seeing the first tulip of the year.

Unexpected joy.

I heard some hosts on TV discussing unexpected good things that have happened to them from the shelter in place order. One man used his exercise cycle more and lost several pounds. Another host was learning to cook since she couldn’t go out to eat. Several people said their pets were thrilled to have their parents home all the time.

In this neighborhood, people have cabin fever, so they are walking their dogs several times a day. Humans catch up on news shouted across the street while pups exchange their own news on every blade of grass.

What is an unexpected joy in your life thanks to this viral adventure?

I like to spend my shelter-in-place time vigorously napping.

Speaking of adventures, Bitey and Toby can help to take our mind off of being at home with their latest book Dream Our World. All the real museums are closed, but you can still come to The Museum of the Imagination and view the world of art through the eyes of my pups. Each page has layers of fun to it from the artwork itself to the pups’ reactions as well as the unique names given to each piece.

Toby says: I highly recommend this work. The characters are so compelling.

Dream Our World would make a great introduction to art for the little ones in your life.

Dream Our World is available from Amazon but not from any museums ’cause – you know – they’re all closed.

Buckeyes

Drawing of a buckeye

What? Are you guys planning to go to Ohio State when you grow up? Go Buckeyes!

This day was so perfect! Nothing could possibly spoil it.

Toby innocently stands there, wondering what mommy is looking at.

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

Whoa, what happened to you? I'm afraid of the clippers, so Mom keeps sneaking up on me with scissors when I'm sleeping.

(My Mom calls him “Toby of the Butt Tuft.”)

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.

With Malice Aforethought

OK, I think I got it rihgt this year. It's a Friday in Lent, and I'm making fish.

Little dog asks: Don't those baked beans have meat in them?

Crap. Where are you going? To getmy hand basket.

…only this year, I did it on purpose! I had a chicken sandwich for lunch on a Friday. Mwahaha.

At least I know what kind of clothes to pack for my trip.

If you haven’t had chance yet, you can still pick up a copy of Dream Our World. Inside, Bitey and Toby tour the Museum of the Imagination and view the world of art from a canine perspective. I had a fun time recreating famous works of art looking through my boys’ eyes. The museum itself is made of different features from our neighborhood.

This a really cute book and would make a great introduction to art for any little ones in your life. (And it might keep the kids busy if they are home from school due to the virus.)

Toy of the Gods

For our friends who are unfamiliar with the joys of toilet paper:

Roll of toilet paper

Mommy forgot to shut

The bathroom door

Where the roll of TP

Hangs so close to the floor.

Sketch of dog wrapped in toilet paper. When from over my shoulder

Comes a loud, angry roar,

“Don’t touch that, you beast!

I don’t have any more!”

Sketch of woman running

So I snatch up the end

And away I do soar..

So pleased with my game,

I am thrilled to the core!

Leaping and bounding

And twisting with glee

I watch as my human

Can’t catch up with me.

I roll till I’m wrapped

like an ancient mummy.

It’s a gift from the gods

This roll of TP!

Join the pups in more insanity in Dream Our World! In it, Bitey and Toby visit the museum of their dreams. Come with them as they in view the world of art from a canine perspective all while enjoying a day of unsupervised fun.

Everyone’s a Critic

Suspicious shredder with ears and a tail handle.

Little Cairn Terrier chews a piece of paper.

Dog-chewed sketch paper

sketch of cartoon puppies

People laugh at me for leaving things in my trash can because I know Toby is going to climb in and make a mess. The problem is that if I don’t leave anything in there, he will go after something I care about. Last night he decided that my trash can wasn’t interesting enough and chewed up a sketch book.

Toby innocently stands there, wondering what mommy is looking at.

OK, so maybe I chewed up some papers , but I definitely wouldn’t put a baby sister in a box.

To enjoy more of my boys’ naughty antics, pick up a copy of Poopiter. Poopiter follows my illustrated boys during their first year together.

Poopiter is available from Amazon.
