Happy Gotcha Day, Perfect Puppy!

I was so scared back then!

Today Murphy got a yak chew for his Gotcha Day. I don’t know if there is a significant amount of sugar in those things, but he has been a bouncy little spaz all evening. (I love it!) This tiny boy was so scared for so long that I didn’t think he would ever come out of his shell.

Cancelled

In case you aren’t familiar with the backstory….

The Toaster

Introductions

(The point being that I bought a used car that looks a lot like a toaster…)

Are we there yet? I'm not touching you! His tail is on my half!

I thought this feature might come in handy some day!

(This is only imaginary. I would never use the ejector seat in the car for my puppies!)

*****************************

Now this happened for real on a drive home. After squabbling in the car, the two boys were so tired that they fell asleep together. It is one of my treasured memories.

I wasn’t there for that occasion, but I am very good at sleeping on my own.

Looking for ways to stay warm? Consider this!

This rustic Bear Paw Quilt would fit in nicely at a cabin by the lake or thrown over your couch at home. The pattern is geometric, and the colors are bold yet earthy. The overall effect of the quilt 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.

Surely, Madam, I do not know to what you refer.

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

I look exactly the same as when you met me!

Due to a change in life, I find myself unable to make Royal pillows any longer. I still have several large ones and several smaller ones in stock, and I would like to find good homes for them. While I am unable to deliver in time for Christmas, these pillows might make a lovely gift for the princess in your life who may be having a birthday coming up.

To get a pillow of your own please visit my shop at L Bowman Studios.

My Boo – A Post by Christmas Puppy

Years of patient waiting have finally paid off. Today I got the best Christmas present in the world… a new friend!

(It turns out all puppies are social – even decorative ones!)

At least she’s no longer talking about making me sit out there.

It’s the Great Pumpkin, Stinky Beasts

So what would you like the Great Pumpkin to bring us? More Pumpkins!!!

If the Great Pumpkin shows up, I get to eat him, right?

(Even the docents at the museum were impressed with the amount of research I put into the book. Come on, give it a try. It would make a great gift for someone you love!)

The Pumpkin Patch

I’m not sure if the Great Pumpkin will visit us, but it looks like the Great Horned Owl did.

This year my garden yielded mostly rabbits and bugs. The exception was that I did get pumpkins. I took this picture while I was still harvesting them, so this isn’t their full number. In all I picked 49.

(Off to the left is what happens if you don’t pick zucchini in time.)

Can we go visit the garden?

While the pumpkins were in the garden, Murphy didn’t seem to realize what they were. He was more interested in the rotten tomatoes.

When I moved the pumpkins to the porch, he still didn’t seem to recognize what they were.

Once I started bringing them inside to cook them, he suddenly noticed them. Now he is a total pest wanting more, more, more. (I tried handing him one of the smaller pumpkins to play with or eat, but he turned his nose up at it. He wanted it cooked first.)

Gimme! Gimme! That’s dog food. I know it!

Helpful Autumn Life Advice

Don’t eat the grapes below the level of the dog.

The grapes? I was just looking at them. Honest.

(Don’t worry. Murphy is always supervised and is not allowed to eat any of the grapes.)

Oh geez, what happened to you? Mommy seems to think I'm nearsighted because I bark and growl at her every time I see her in a hat.

I can’t believe you think I might be nearsighted.

What have I ever done to give you that impression?

Actually, a number of people have commented that they think Murphy might not have perfect vision. Starvation can affect the eyes, so it is possible. To me it is funny that he never seems to recognize me in a hat even though I wear them all the time.

I dunno…I think my glasses look good on him!
