Thank you for sharing, Angel Food

Uhh..Umm... I feel compelled to say this:
I'm sorry the pup went into the water
I'm sorry for the panic in the Mommy
I'm overwhelmed at the bravery of the hero
I have a terrier
and when I look at that face and into those eyes
in that last photo...
I'm not surprised!

Let's Just Chill

* * * * *

Lia: Thank heaven all that construction/sawing/chopping/people noise is gone. Let's do something. It's Friday - Let's go post our Other Animals on Friday blog. How about a rawhide; or outside to run and bark...let's go ask Mommy.

Zoe: Not tonite. Not much of anything tonite. No one slept from all the drama last night; you wouldn't stop pacing and barking all day with all the work going on outside....so let's just chill.

Lia: Am I in trouble?

Zoe: No...but Mommy's pretty upset about the big tree out front (http://affectionsingeneral.blogspot.com/) - so I say we just let this one pass so we all can rest, chill and get some sleep tonite.

The Mommy: Thanks, Zoe. Goodnight Girls.

Wake Up, The Sun is Flashing!

The Set-up

Difficult Work Week for the Mommy.
Today is Wednesday eve - the end of mid week - thank goodness.
All seems quiet.

Mommy picks us up from daycare.
At home - we stretch out for a bit
Have dinner
A little more rest - out for a quick business trip

Everyone's tired - we all get comfy on the Big Bed.
We all fall asleep....8:30 ish

11:53 p.m.

Lia: wakeup wakeup hurry...there's people on our property and the sun is flashing! woof woof woof!! hurry - it's an emergency!

Zoe: woof woof ok if you say so; man I was sleeping good, woof woof also

The Mommy: Lia, hold the phone! It looks like a city truck out front and whoa! there's a lake in the street. Let me pee and I'll investigate for ya.

(note to human: if the flush goes well but the tank doesn't refill, there's probably a water main break).

Lia: WOOF...WOOF...AREN'T YOU GOING TO LET ME OUT??? THERE'S TRESPASSERS ON OUR YARD!

The Mommy: I'll go out and talk to the guys, Lia - you stay here and guard the fort.

Lia: I'M ON IT: WOOF WOOF WOOF

(after human conversation with city workers, yes indeedie, we have a water main break and they need to go poking at manholes and water lines all down the block, starting in front of our house. I told them if they needed to use the facilities, they were welcome to do so. They reminded me the "facilities" won't work without water and that they would be ok as they were men. humph.)

Lia: SO...WHAT'D THEY SAY? WOOF WOOF?????????

The Mommy: They said the Sun was going to flash for a while longer and that you should go to bed.

What's That Sound?

When humans watch a video screen of whimpering baby puppies,
they're as still as a statue; they just watch, grin and listen...

But when we listen, we understand the language!

Here's the Shiba Inu babies we've been watching
as they grow up...you can see them here:

Then you have the material: Vintage Needlework Tapestry
Followed by: A different form of "stuffed animal" or taxidermy
Voila!
