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!

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.

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!
