I miss my puppy!

We head back to Michigan on Saturday morning and I'm looking forward to seeing my puppy!

I have to say that Wisconsin is a beautiful state! I had such a great time at the log home training and meeting all the other people. (I recently joined Expedition Log Homes as a dealer. The previous company I worked for unfortunately went out of business.) I have some great mill photos to share with you later this week.

I had our breeder watch Scout and knew she would have a good time with the other dogs there. The above photo is of Scout greeting and kissing her mom. It was so sweet!

Looking forward to catching up with all of you! Let me know if I missed something major! (Betsy, Leedra and Mildred - weren't you glad you had a break from reading my 50 blogs? Ha,ha!)

Love hurts

Precious Gift

I received the most precious gift in the mail yesterday from one of my talented blogger friends - Sharon of Wildflower House! She makes beautiful quilt and embroidery gifts.

Below, she made me this beautiful tapestry with a photo of my precious pup Scout! Check out the details on this - down to the birdies I love and how she added a little dangly heart from her collar. I can't wait to hang this in the log cabin! Sharon - thank you! Your generosity and talent warm my heart!!






Sharon can take a photo of yours and make something like this for you too! Contact her thru her blog if you are interested. I think these would make great gifts for someone special. (Check out her store here and her Etsy shop here - her work is amazing!)







Scout says thank you and wants me to contact the Detroit Institute of Arts to see if they want a picture of her too!! Yep - her ego is getting a little big!!

Scout & Marvin's side of the story

Scout's version: I am a very good girl. I come when I'm called and I already sit. I'm very cuddly and follow my mom all over the house. My favorite toy is my rope bunny rabbit. I take lots of puppy naps. I have not nipped at Marvin the cat whatsoever and if he just gives me a chance we can play very nicely. Woof, woof!







Marvin's version: Oh please, I'm so OVER this puppy! Did you know she ate her poop yesterday? She's also peed in her crate twice. And about the toys, I've seen her go after mommy and daddy's shoes. As for playing nicely, if you call chasing me around the house wanting to play nice - then I have a cat condo I want to sell you in the middle east! I've had to slap this youngster on the nose twice - just so she knows - I'm the BOSS of the house. Cats rule. Meow.

Quick Photos of Scout

Hi there! I know I promised you some photos of Scout! Here's a couple quick ones and I promise more are coming. She's keeping me busy today by exploring the house and sniffing Marvin the cat's butt - LOL! Marvin has been very curious about her and goes into every room that Scout goes into. I predict they'll be napping together by next week. I'll check in with all of you later - forgive me while I spend time LOVING this puppy to pieces today!!
