Tee Hee! She’ll never even know I was here!
I guess he thought I could sleep through this.

Guess how I found out Toby could jump high enough to reach the counter?
************************
On the recommendation of our dear friend Max, I did check out the AKC’s Museum of the Dog. Oh my gosh, I had no idea such a place existed! It is located in New York City, but I think there should be branches in cities all over the world.
Unfortunately I missed the deadline for submitting a work to be considered for their Dog Days of Summer exhibit which started yesterday. I doubt I would have been chosen, but it would have been a hoot to try. Instead I have been trying to contact the museum to see if a book about a couple of familiar terriers might be a good fit with their gift shop. So far just voice mail messages and email forms but no replies. Toby says he is very much interested in getting into this museum so he can play like Ben Stiller when everyone goes home.
If you would like to see what my boys like to do when they are alone in a museum, pick up a copy of Dream Our World. Dream Our World is available both from my shop and from Amazon.

Insanity Squirrel #1
I was going to do another Insanity Avoidance Kitty, but something in my head whispered, “Do a squirrel”, so I drew an Insanity Avoidance Squirrel. How is it working? Meh.
Did somebody say “squirrel”???
I have to keep Toby away from both real squirrels and the picture. He will happily chew both.

Do you have a dear friend or family member for whom you need a gift? (Perhaps a belated, blame-it-on-the-Post-Office Mothers’ Day gift?) If so, consider giving your beloved this rose afghan! It was cross stitched and “bowed” by hand. Mine!
Your gift will help to support small business and keep Toby in the finery to which he has become accustomed.
Whoopie!
Finished dimensions of the afghan (including fringe): 58″ x 47″ / 147.5 cm x 119.5 cm.
Material: 100% cotton
To clean: Wash in cold or warm water, delicate cycle. Tumble dry low. No bleach.
The cost would be $65.00 + Shipping. If you are interested, you can contact me here or at my website L Bowman Studios.
Come On Guys, Let’s Go!
Come on Toby. Let’s be fair. The real reason you are being taken on three walks a day is because you chewed up my book, ate a note pad, tipped over the trash can, climbed up on the bed and stole a hankie, ran through the house with my underwear…do I need to go on?
No, I know.
After my scale-crunching last post, I have been cutting back on portions and walking more (all the things panicked chubby humans do). Today I checked, and I found that I had lost -4 pounds.
I guess with everything else in the world being upside down, I shouldn’t be surprised that the laws of physics are too.

Chili Out?
Si.
Hola!
Toby told me he head to pee, so I clipped his collar and leash on and headed toward the door. Before we stepped out, he cried “Wait!” and dashed back into the room to grab his new stuffed chili pepper.
Whenever Toby has a toy that he likes, he fusses over it like a good papi. He likes to take his toys out to give them a chance to relieve themselves.
Aw, Mom, don’t show that one! I was standing like a girl.
Once Toby and the toy were done, he picked up his little one to bring back inside.
I can hear the wild chili peppers
calling off in the distance!
As always, Toby was extremely cooperative when having his picture taken. He stood perfectly still so that I could capture his portrait in perfect detail.
************************************************
For a clear picture of your pet, consider having his or her portrait done! Visit my website, L Bowman Studios, to see examples of my work and price lists.
Pet portraits make great gifts including birthday gifts and healing tributes. Since I work online, you don’t need to worry about wearing a mask while doing business.
Hope to see you soon!
The Temporarily Official Toby Portrait
Toby calls this one, “Aren’t I Cute?”
**********************************************
If you have a furry (or feathered) family member in need of a portrait, come visit my website L Bowman Studios . There I have some examples of different pieces I have done and information about pricing.
This could be considered one of your good deeds during our confinement like ordering takeout from local restaurants to help keep them afloat. A pet portrait can keep small business alive while providing you with gifts for loved ones who are feeling isolated.
