Happy National Doughnut Day!
*****************************************
Now is a perfect time to order a custom pet portrait for someone you love.
The gift of a pet portrait can be very touching to someone who has recently lost a companion. It is also a fun way to celebrate a new addition to the family.

Remembering last year’s Fall…
In the year since the fall I have regained the ability to walk, but there is no grace to my gait. I move like a broken wind-up toy.
Aw, I would never make fun of your walk.
Yes I would!
****************************************************
My boys are still at large at the museum, unsupervised. If you would like to see what they have been up to while everyone is gone, pick up a copy of Dream Our World. Inside, the pups visit the Museum of the Imagination and view the world of art from a canine perspective.
Dream Our World is available from Amazon.
Splat!
It has been a year now since The Fall. At the time I expected to be better in a few weeks, but it was months before I could even take the dogs for a hobble. My left knee never did recover, and still can’t fully bend it.
Toby takes advantage of my not being able to properly kick his butt. This morning – at that magical Dogging Hour of 3:00 a.m. – he decided to destroy a few things around the house.
Heh, Mom’s not looking. I’m going to steal her package.
Oops. Caught. I’ll pretend that I am not interested.
I just can’t help myself…
I really AM interested!

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 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.

Stuffies are too manly!!
****************************************
Without much to do during this lock down, I am expecting a baby boom late this year and early next. If it happens that you will be welcoming a new life to your family or circle of friends, consider giving him or her a beautiful handmade quilt.
This ASL/American Sign Language Quilt is crib sized (41.5″ x 47.25″) and is an original design of mine. The quilt is made using hand applique, hand embroidery and hand quilting techniques, so it is quite time consuming to make. The shell is entirely cotton with a cotton/bamboo batting.
If you can help my quilt find a happy home, I would be most appreciative. (The cost is $725 with shipping determined by ZIP code. You can contact me here or through my website L Bowman Studios ).
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!
Toby will do anything to impress the ladies.

Have a special occasion coming up but can’t get to the store to buy a present? Then order a copy of Dream Our World to be sent to your family or friend.

(My Mom calls him “Toby of the Butt Tuft.”)
Before
After
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.
Dream Our World is available from Amazon.
For our friends who are unfamiliar with the joys of toilet paper:
Mommy forgot to shut
The bathroom door
Where the roll of TP
Hangs so close to the floor.
When from over my shoulder
Comes a loud, angry roar,
“Don’t touch that, you beast!
I don’t have any more!”
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!
