Order soon to make sure you have your copies in time for the holidays!
Come spend a day with Bitey and Toby in Dream Our World where they view the world of art from a canine perspective and enjoy a day of unsupervised fun.
A number of people have commented lately on how this book would make a fun teaching tool for kids to introduce them to the world of art. They could be encouraged to find the original paintings and note how they differ from the ones in Dream Our World. They can also discuss how their reactions might be similar or dissimilar to Bitey’s and Toby’s If you have a youngster in your family, consider giving him or her the gift of art for the holidays.
God told the puppies,
“I want you to be barky, barky!”
‘Specially the small ones
I want you to be barky, barky!
Day and night and
twilight and afternoon
So
humans
You’ll annoy.”

After our encounters with the cranky terrier, I changed the walking route Toby and I take each day so that we could avoid trouble. Turns out, trouble has it in for us anyway.
Toby and I were nearly home after a beautiful early evening walk. Our path took us through the parking lot of one of the local churches. Normally church lots are empty on Thursday evenings, but this day some guy decided to use the lot as his own personal off-leash dog park. His pack of spotted monsters took one look at little Toby and flew over to growl at him and bite at him and even flipped him over. Poor Toby had no idea what to do. He was spinning around like crazy to make sure none of the monsters could attack him from behind.
Eventually the irresponsible human came over to try to bring back his dogs. None of them responded to his voice commands, and he resorted to yelling, hitting and kicking them. At least one of the dogs turned and bit him. After all that, he didn’t even utter an “I’m sorry” to us.
It is amazing how stunned you can be in a situation like that. I don’t know if I had had Dog-B-Gone spray on hand if I would have had the presence of mind to use it. I got Toby out of there as quickly as possible, not even thinking of getting the guy’s license plate until it we were already home.
The next day, I ran into a neighbor and told her about the attack. Her yard abuts a different church’s property, and she said that two days before she had found a guy running his dog off leash. She yelled at him that he had better put a leash on his pet. From her description, I think it was the same guy that I ran into the next day.
I am so irritated by these idiots. If you want to run your dog off leash, there is a dog park one community away. Just take them there. Of course, if this guy’s brood is as unfriendly to others as they were to Toby, he should keep them at home on a leash. Maybe train them a little so that they come when called.
A few years ago I remember seeing a bra advertised that would sense if person’s heart rate were elevated suddenly. If so, it would notify the police. I wonder if they have something like that in dog collars?

Come to a happy place where dog attacks never occur, and all pups have a great time. Come to the MOTI (Museum of the Imagination) in Dream Our World! In it, the boys view the world of art from a canine perspective with a dash of humor and a lot of fun.

My boys are unusual in that they like fireworks. I hope the rain holds off long enough that they get to see their fill.
Whatever you may be doing to celebrate today, I hope you have a wonderful time!
Bitey Dog, Toby & Mom
Oh come on. We weren’t that bad!
Yes you were.

Yeah, I did opt for the chocolates.
Thanks to my recent injury, this is the first time I have ever given serious thought to a walk in tub. I don’t really want one, but it has been very embarrassing trying to climb in and out of the regular one.
As the song says:
Bad stuff happens in the bathroom
I’m just glad that it happens in a vacuum*
Thank heavens for vacuums or someone might – for instance – draw this unfortunate event and put it on the internet. That would be bad.

After all of that dry, boring town meeting stuff, I needed some frivolity in my blog. Well, it wasn’t funny at the time, but maybe it is now.
For several weeks I had to head to the bathroom when I didn’t need to go because if I waited until I did, it would be too late. Aah…being injured is so much fun. No wait. No it’s not.
Three days before I fell, I had the worst headache I had had in years. It made me so sick to my stomach that I had to go to bed. My boys were very concerned for me that day. They studied my face to see what was wrong. I even noticed them stopping their fighting game to come over and take care of me. I thought this was extremely sweet.
When I fell, though, they could not have cared less. They stood in front of me when I tried to walk. They attempted to drag me around the block. They jumped on my cantaloupe-sized knees. I got no sympathy for my injuries from them at all. So, what are the parameters for dog sympathy, I wonder? It certainly isn’t falling.
