Oh come on. We weren’t that bad!
Yes you were.

To find out how rotten Cairn terrier brothers can be, pick up a copy of Poopiter!
Poopiter is an illustrated telling of the boys’ first year together.
To find out how good they can be, read Dream Our World. In Dream Our World, Geordie and Toby visit the museum of their dreams.
Both are available at Amazon.
Seriously, you chose this picture?!?
When Geordie saw the picture of Toby I posted on the blog, he insisted that I put a picture of him up next. For some reason he is unhappy about this one.
This is a draft of one of the pictures in his (and Toby’s. Don’t tell him Toby is in the book too) next book. Although I have been working on it for a year, it feels like I am never going to get done.
This book is filled with so many memories for me. It has also been a great opportunity for me to learn more about working with digital media. At the rate I am going, though, I will die of oldness long before I ever get done.

You might feel yourself on life’s ladder’s low rung
If you wake up each day with a paw that’s been stung.
Grrroooaaannn, right?

I took my chances late one day
And went into the world.
The wind was blowing forcefully
And all the flags unfurled.
I aimed my pee stream carefully
But was the one that fell.
Was it the Nor’easter too strong
Or only I too small?

What a storm this week! Although we’ve had colder temps during the Winter, this particular storm brought a bitterness that made it truly miserable.
I am sorry to say that poor Bitey did get tipped by the wind while we were outside. Terriers are built pretty much like cinder blocks – short, stocky and heavy – so I was surprised that they could be blown about.
Perhaps that is why they get so nervous when I watch The Wizard of Oz.

To learn why Geordie hates March, read A Tired Mommy Is a Good Mommy!
Available at Amazon.
This is the first time I can remember ever having Spring allergies in February. Normally the trees don’t start doing their thing until late March or early April. Although forecasts are calling for possible snow this week, I hope the trees continue to do their business and get this pollen crap over with all at once. I am miserable, and I simply don’t have the patience for two pesky, energetic, unstoppable, arguing terriers.
So, would anyone like some pesky, energetic, unstoppable, arguing terriers?
I have two too many.

You may also like A Tired Mommy Is a Good Mommy which tells of Bitey’s days before the arrival of the Usurper Toby.

I think going to hell for Lent is going to be my new tradition.
For some reason, I can’t seem to keep my days straight at this time of year. I screw up every Friday. I am sure the people at church would gladly cluck their tongues and say “Don’t you love God enough to fast a mere one day per week?” As I recall, though, Christ came to walk among us and hung around with those whose faults were most offensive to other humans.
What could be more offensive than a fondness for beans?

I actually thought that I would be drawing pictures of Toby’s interest in girls by now, but this little boy still has a fondness for his toy peppermint. People keep asking me if I have had him fixed. Yes. For some reason, though, he cannot seem to say no to this particular toy. Perhaps he has a sweet tooth?
I’ve promised not to spoil his reputation with the ladies by telling about his hobby. I just wonder….will his first girlfriend be a chocolate lab?

Toby’s Gotcha Day is coming up this week, and I thought we would celebrate.
It’s hard to believe he was such a tiny thing when I first met him.
It’s funny. There are so many things I want to say about my little boy today, but as I sit down to write I am getting all choked up. Maybe I’ll just let the pictures do the talking.
Here is Geordie being angry that he had to walk on his own paws while the puppy got carried. This was the coldest day of that particular Winter and the puppy’s first day outside. (Maybe that’s why he loves the snow so much.)
