Why You Shouldn’t Give a Terrier an Inflatable Ball

Toby's uninflated soccer ball.

This is Toby’s new soccer ball that Grandma got for him. He was afraid of it until he realized that he could sort of pinch it and carry it around. Well, that lasted about three minutes…..

I guess like the fuzz handles he likes to chew into his tennis balls, Toby prefers the convenience of “customized” balls.

Tennis balls with fuzz handles that a puppy has chewed from their covers.

To my dismay, one of his favorite things to do with these customized balls is to grab them by their “handles” then swing them around and beat me in the leg with them.

Why was it again that I thought having a puppy would be a good idea?

Bitey Is Alive and Well!

Yes? Can we help you?

Bitey and the little usurper are both having a great time in the recent cold weather.  They are probably both ticked at me for not posting much for them this month.  I am working on a new book for them that is very different from the last two.  It is a great deal of fun to create, but I am afraid it keeps me away from the computer.

Halloween

 

Guess I am going as for Halloween...King TOOT Uncommon! Ugh. You're Toot "Very Common".

Hope everyone enjoys a fun night of Trick-or-Treating or handing out candy.

As for real Bitey and Toby, we will likely be hiding from night visitors because these two are too barky.  (Don’t ring our bell…we won’t be home!)

Toby’s Guardian Angel

 

I'm so exhausted.

Today it was bees again.  That boy can’t seem to resist a game of “Chase the Dumbledore”.  (Did you know that  dumbledore is another name for bumblebee?  I was surprised when I found that out.)

Angelfish Tattoo

 

Look! Being ni the sun has caused me to freckle in the shape of an angel fish!

Yeah, right. "Freckles". Liver spots...Nature's tattoos!

True story.  I really do have freckles (shut up, you two laughing dogs) in the shape of an angelfish on my arm.  I don’t have any tattoos, and I have wondered on occasion what I would get if I did get one.  I guess an angelfish is as nice of one as any!

Toby’s Favorite Teacher

 

Guess what my favorite kind of teacher is. I don't know...English?

No. Don't take the bait! Don't take the bait! Substi-toot! Ecch....

I’m just waiting for Toby to get the hang of asking folks to “pull my finger”.
