Just got our new golden boy Axl last Friday. He's our fourth. The other three lived to be seniors. I haven't sewn anything since he arrived. Too busy potty training and keeping him from chewing up our stuff even though he has plenty of his own stuff to chew on. We live in eagle country so he can't be alone outside yet. Gotta go take him out. Hope to sew something soon!

Baby Axl! Pictures please! Do the eagles try to get your dogs? We had tons of them around here. Leo is fascinated by them. I think he thinks they're big squirrels... LOL!

If it's around noon, they go out and come right back inside, planting their selves at the door of my sewing room. When I sew, they sleep more.

Leo lived the 1st months of his life on the run in the woods (he was either dumped as a pup or born in thr wild to a dumped mom) so he sleeps with one eye open. And whatever room I'm in -- even if I'm only in there a second (lile to get a ruler or a drink or something) -- he has to be there, too. But I wouldn't have it any other way.

Our black lab soon learnt I was NOT available for door duty! And also learnt that when I had a quilt on the floor ready to be pinned and tacked together he was NOT to walk on it! He would have a real hangdog look and wearily walk around the edge. They're such characters.

Yep, about a doz. or so times a day. Our dog, Max gives us a workout letting him out.

Yes, Lucy my black lab does the same thing. How about getting on the phone and talking with company - they act like kids demanding attention. I always cave in!
