Don’t worry boys. Only six more weeks till you can pee.
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.

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.

The New Restaurant
It is a dark time. Across the state, businesses have been shut down for want of customers. So many restaurants have closed that underground, speakeasy-style eateries have popped up away from the watchful eyes of health department.
The boys’ beloved Sniff City has become….(Dun…dun…duhhhhn)… Hellmont.
Not that dogs eat poo or anything…
Well, only if it’s there.

Sharing the Blame
It used to be that Blue Puppy was the one to share Toby’s misadventures.
Then today I found this…
…next to these two.
It looks like I am going to have to keep an eye on the whole toy box now.
It wasn’t me. Honest.
Oh, I forgot. The boys and I had an anniversary last week. On the 6th, my boys reached the milestone of hiding away in the museum for a whole year! In that time, no one has been able to see them or buy them. Gosh, what a great year it’s been.
If you would like to see what my two have been up to by themselves with no supervision, pick up a copy of Dream Our World. Inside, the boys visit the museum of their dreams and view the world of art from a canine perspective.
Dream Our World is available from my shop and from Amazon.
Latin
When I was in school, the students approached administration and asked for Latin courses. The faculty said “No”. This is what happens when you don’t teach young people Latin.
Mommy also refers to me as Stinkius Buggus. I don’t get no respect.
