Mom's home

Mom came home last night about 8:30. I was so glad to see her that I jumped up on her lap and kissed her all over her face. She was laughing and hugging me, and it felt good.

I know it's important for her to travel sometimes. I just hope it's a long time before she has to go again. Dad did a great job but  I think Mom was a little upset that the entire box of treats was gone in 5 days. (something about my vanishing waistline). Dad is generous with the treats, he took me for walks and snuggles with me.  BUT, he's not my Mom.

Thanks Laurel, Debbie and Pam for bringing her home safely.

Mom's gone, Dad's in charge!!!

If any of you see my Mom at Quilt Market, could you please ask her to come home.

She left Dad in charge and it's really not working out for me. He's a great guy, generous with the treats, and plays with my toys.... but, he's not my Mom.

If I had my own cell phone, I could call her.... just one more reason they should get me one.

This is my pleading face.... COME HOME MOM.... this quilting stuff can wait.

My first "Up North" experience

That's me, right up front with Mom and Dad. We're going to visit my Grandma Liz. She lives in Aitkin... that's up North.

Here I am running down the driveway with Dad. This is the fist time I haven't had to be on a leash when we walk. It's fun up here. Lots of birds and little animals. I even saw a Red squirrel. The bad part is that Mom and Dad found 2 wood ticks walking on me... yuck.

I know I look tiny in the pictures, but if you look really closely at my face... you can tell I'm having a great time.

In this photo I'm just sitting, resting with Dad. It's a long walk for a little guy.

The yard is so big and has lots of pine trees and areas to explore.

I'm just taking a quick break. The fresh air and all the activity has really worn me out. Next time we come up I'll know to pace myself a little better.

A Mother's Day Visit with my Grandmother

Tomorrow is Mother's Day and I'm going to visit my Grandma Liz. So tonight I went to the nursing home too surprise my Grandma Boston.  She was really happy to see me. I love to visit her, there's alot of Grandmothers and Grandfathers there.. and they all like me.

This is a picture of me with Grandma Boston. She was so happy to see me, I even got a fig newton when I sat and did the shake.  Last week was her birthday and she got lots of nice clothes and flowers - so chocolate was what we decided to bring her. One thing for sure, Gram likes candy. We stayed for a awhile then I gave her a kiss and we headed home. I like going to visit, my Mom says  I can go again soon.  Hope everyone has a wonderful Mothers Day.

In search of Birthday gifts.

Today, I got to go to the Medford mall with my Mom and Dad. My Grandmother's birthday is May 7th and we need to have some nice gifts. There was a shop at the Burnsville center but it closed. We  found out that they moved to the outlet mall, so we decided to take a little road trip. I love to lean up against my Mom while we ride. It was chilly out so we brought my blanket.

I sat in the car while they went into the store. I enjoyed a little sun on my face while waiting. My Grandmother is going to be very happy when she sees the nice things we bought her.  I enjoyed the ride, and my parents said that I was a good boy in the car. (that translates to treats...)

Only 8 days til the Shop Hop

Hi, I haven't had alot of time to Facebook or Blog lately. I've been helping my Mom get ready for the Twin Cities Shop Hop. The hop starts next week, May 3rd - 5th. We've been working alot at the shop and at home.

I was in the shop on Monday and Mom and I worked with Miss Heide to get some displays done. It's alot of work, I'm exhausted. This morning Mom got up early and we went out on the deck to roll some Civil War strips. I don't know what she was thinking, I got out of a warm bed to go out in 46 degree weather.... they're working me like a dog!!!!!

Here's just a quick snap shot Mom took of me helping. I did manage to get a few treats for my efforts. I've also been promised a new chew bone if I help her out again tonight at the shop. Mom says if I don't be naughty and just be quiet (that means not barking or whimpering) then we can go to Petco on the way home tonight. I noticed that Dad got the little kennel out to take to the shop, that must be for if I get tired from all the helping.

Are you doing the hop? I've never been but I heard it's alot of fun. Maybe someday if I'm not working at our shop I can go. I don't drive ya know, so I have to get a ride.

I hope you can stop in the shop and see all the new things and the displays we put up. I just know you'll love 'em.  If you are doing the hop, drive careful - be safe and don't forget to bring treats when you come.

Good Morning

Hi, just wanted to show you how well I'm doing. Notice that I'm not all scratched on my cheeks and my chin isn't all raw.

My Mom says I'm a handsome specimen.... I think it means cute little Boston. All I know is that as long as I take my medications I'm not scratching. My hair is starting to come back a little too.
