Alanis' discovery


When I was engaged in the fruitless effort of removing ivy in the back yard, Alanis found buried treasure left there by the family who lived in this house before me.


It must have acquired a certain je ne sais quoi from the ivy and dirt because it immediately became a favorite. And, to her disappointment, I had to take it away before she cut her gums or broke off a piece. I don't know if she'd swallow it but won't take chances.


Better than the toy was a visit yesterday from 6-yr-old Wrigley. When they were greeting and sparring, Wrigley jumped straight off the ground, all four feet at once, like a piece of popcorn. His person, Cindy, and I were too busy talking and watching the dogs to think of photos but there should be more later when we do a puppy playdate.

  1. Why do we do this? There is just something about the forbidden that sucks us in! Sorry your momma had to ruin a fun chew! Hootie will eat an extra bug in your honor.

  2. Ciao bella Alanis!

    I know just how you feel! Mia ragazza took the door mat away from me today after I'd made wonderful headway with it. You should give the door mat a try one of these days, mia cara amica: It has fantastico oaky-jutey undertones with just a hint of muddy shoe and a splendido long finish!

    BTW, you're looking bellissima these days, girl!

    Tanti baci!

  10. Alanis good work until you get caught, BUT try bushes and trees. Fiber is better, stomach surgery sucks, so we hear from HER.
    I have trimmed and beavered most of the backyard. Next the deck needs some customizing...
