Archie got his first haircut Monday. He did pretty well. He didn't like his head messed with much, so the groomer couldn't do much with his ears, which look super floppy and furry. I kind of like it. He was a good boy during the experience, so that's a plus. The groomer tells us we […]
This is Archie in his dog bed at naptime. He likes to sleep on his back, and he has a favorite stuffed toy, a puppy, that he positions next to him. Notice he has placed the puppy on its back, just like he himself is relaxing. Sometimes he uses Puppy as a pillow, but typically […]
I actually had a fairly productive day yesterday. Still blowing my nose a lot, but I feel like I have some energy again. I did some easy sewing. I made 14 more square in a square units for the border of my Apple Sauce quilt. I've got a good-sized pile completed so far. I must […]
Eva's school has been having some special Halloween-themed events, and this past Friday was a big one for 7th graders. They had a Halloween dance and dinner which seemed to be well attended. Eva and her friend Riley were Power Puff Girls, a thing that was popular in the 80's or 90's. I can't keep […]
Archie went to the groomer on Tuesday. No hair cut, but he did get a bath, a brushing, and a nail trim. According to the groomer, he was a good boy. He is super fluffy right now and looks like a stuffed toy. He is full of mischief, mostly jumping up on things and not […]
For about half a day yesterday, I was in the sewing room and completed four more Sampler Spree blocks. I am especially happy with the navy lightning bolt block. I was delighted with how the points all came out! I spent the long weekend with my sisters at our dad's house. We organized all the […]
If you read my blog regularly, you may recall me mentioning that the company I work for has been using AI more and giving their freelance writers less work. Whelp, they pretty much pulled the plug on me last week. All my work assignments just disappeared from the company spreadsheet we use to see what […]
Time for an Archie update, and other updates as well. Archie will be five months old on August 13, and he has definitely become more civilized in the month he has been with us. But. He has a way to go. He is a cheerful, upbeat, clumsy, and super-friendly little guy. His main bad habit […]
Why can't I get anything done? Ahem. This naughty boy would be the reason. He actually is fairly mellow, compared to other dogs I have owned, but he is a puppy, and therefore, a handful. He demands a lot of attention, that is for sure. He is a total sweetheart, and we love him, but […]
Cuteness overload here. Archie is adjusting very well to living with us. His breeder is from Nevada and lives in an area where Parvo is a terrible problem, so he had been kept inside for the four months of his life until we got him. He had been trained to use a cat litter box, […]
