The Valentine

Murphy, a package came for you!

*

Hey, look what I got!

*

Who is it from?

*

Your DogSis Reiko

*

Are you going to share with us?  That depends on how awesome you think I am.

*

You're really awesome.  You're really awesome.

*

Somehow I can make my face blurry while sitting perfectly still!

*

We found a surprise in the mail this week. Murphy seems to have made friends with a cute little Mauzer online. He wanted me to let her know that he absolutely loves his treats. (He kept pestering me for more and more after I took these pictures.)

Reiko, your taste in biscuits is sublime! – Murphy

Traffic

Your stats are booming!  The Adventures of Bitey Dog is getting lots of traffic!

Once again it appears that bots have discovered my blog. I wish they would discover my store. It would make me feel more successful.

*

Yeah, I don’t know how to draw bots, so I drew tardigrades.

*

I’m way cuter than a tardigrade. You should have drawn pictures of me!

Mushers’ Wax 2

*

If I refuse to get dressed, can I stay inside?

*

Murphy made it clear that he does not like Mushers’ Wax, but he was much happier once he had it on. (I doubt he’ll ever admit that it helped, though.)

How We Are Faring In The Wild Weather

*

*

Well, Murphy is perfectly happy after the storm. He’s had plenty of rest and Good Boy treats.

Mommy on the other hand, is pretty much exhausted from shoveling. It’s not that so much snow fell, but I have to shovel frequently and down to the grass because a certain someone can’t stand snow touching his tummy when he goes out to pee.

*

I can’t imagine who she is talking about..

Toby’s TV Lament

I'm sad.  Oh why?  I have a favorite TV show that I've watched for years.  I always figured they'd get tired of making it before I tired of watching it.

*

The latest season, though, feels recycled and lazy.  The sad thing is that if the show gets cancelled, they will blame politics instead of less than stellar writing.

*

The whole experience left me with a bad taste in my mouth.  I wish someone would come along with a big pencil and just erase the latest season from my memory so I could just remember the happy times.

*

Funny, I know someone...

*

Sadly, it only works for Toby.

*

I only care about TV if there is a ringing doorbell.

Bear Paw Quilt

Looking for ways to stay warm? Consider this handmade, handquilted Bear Paw Quilt!

Made of a patchwork of calicoes and flannels, 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.

Handmade Bear Paw Quilt and other fine gifts are available from my shop at L Bowman Studios.

The Peacoat

*

For real?  Honest?  Yes!

*

Yes!  Every day I get to take a pill that makes me pee a LOT!

*

Mom, can we - Absolutely not!

*

For Heaven's sake, Murphy, how did you manage to soak your entire coat - even the collar?!?

*

I don’t know what you’re complaining about. My pee smells nice.

*

Bitey Mom may be making a joke about pee pills, but inside she is concerned. I know that little Murphy is only on loan from heaven, but I still don’t like seeing his health decline.

To the Victor Go the Spoils

Can I have that?  No, it's spoiled.

*

My garden produced very few vegetables this year, but so far it’s grown two rabbits, eight mice and two voles.

If you have the funds, I suggest investing in Victor stocks.

(By the way, you’re welcome that I didn’t provide photos of all the dead critters!)

*

You mean I was supposed to be doing something

other than eating tomatoes out here?

Cockeyed Optimist

Guys?  Are you there?  I hear voices.  Maybe now they'll match her weird, Bells palsied face.

*

I don’t see what you’re talking about. I feel fine.

*

Iron

Hey, don’t forget me! I broke too.

And I’m only right twice a day now!

*

These are a few of my busted up things! (Hmm, I can see why they went with the other version in the musical.)

These are only a few of the things that broke. If you added everything up, October was quite an expensive month. Uh oh Murphy, looks like a skinny Christmas this year!

As long as I get some biscuits, I’ll be happy.

Hallowhat?

What are you supposed to be?  I'm a chrysanthemummy.

*

Geordie used to like dressing up for Halloween.

Murphy…not so much.

That brother of mine may have been your costume whore,

but I like being a naked little boy!
