Welcome to Momma's Sewing Room

Look who we found!

Welcome back!

You found your way up to

our Momma's sewing room...

She has been up here for days on end...

Drawing, head scratching,

measuring,

Pinning, cutting, stitching,

muttering, snipping, and some singing

(if you could call it that)

We spend most of our days very close to our

Momma...

If she's upstairs so are we.

"I really enjoy a nap close to Momma's feet...

Miss Bo-bo enjoys a basket of soft cloth on the shelf in the sun

or a pillow on the serger table in front of the window...

She too can appreciate a good nap!"

  Ahh..there's nothing quite like a nice peaceful nap!"

"A nap's alright...but, Thibby loves to play!  Do you think she's really asleep?"

"Look Chloe...

Aren't I CUTE ???"

"Peek a boo...

"I see you!"

"Your turn, Chloe...!"

"When he's awake and not playing with me ...he plays the catch me if you can game with our momma...How do they play that?

First..Thibby finds some pretty sequined  or pearl lace trim...sneaks it off the table..

Shakes it at Momma then turns and runs down the stairs...

He helps her get her daily exercise!

He is a good boy!"

"Oh, I'm so cute!!!"

"So glad you decided to stop by...check in again soon! We'll be here!"

Chloe & Thibodeaux

A Word from Chloe

Welcome back!

It’s been awhile…

We hope all y’all long haired pups have stayed nice and cool during this sweltering weather

and all y’all short haired ones have not caught the sniffles under the frigid air conditioners.

The past few weeks around here have been overtly busy for Thibby and me…

Our Older sister,

Felice came to visit and brought her husband and little one…

That shortest one is always

on the go…

he stays busy from morning till night…

About the only time I ever see him still is when I peek in his bedroom door

and find him fast asleep under his Thomas the Train quilt…

Funny, you’d think a puppy that smart would realize how much more comfy it would be to sleep on top of that quilt…

Oh, well..humans…

sometime it takes awhile to train them…

I have told Thibby to be patient with Daddy,

it is just taking longer for him to understand that

it’s quite alright for Thibby

to lay on the leather

couch.

Here in this sub-division

(as Momma calls it)

all the two legged children

have quit going away early each morning and somewhere around the time the sun is beginning

to warm up they all seem to be pulled outside by some giant unseen magnet..

They run, skate, sidewalk surf, bike ride, kick and chase balls up and down our street in front of our house!

In the back yards they kick soccer balls, hit baseballs,

and pitch some kinda ball back and forth with nets on the end of long sticks…

they climb trees and hang by their knees, they swing real high

and chase each other with loud pop guns..

All this play is accompanied by shouts and screams…

at first we thought they were in dire trouble needing

our attentions.

I have about decided some of them may just have some kinda short in their wirings and all the squealing could be akin to a small “yappy” dog…you know like some of them start barking and the switch gets kinda stuck…

On the other hand Thibodeaux is convinced some of them are young hooligans and are up to absolutely no good.

Especially when they run through our front yard

and climb the tree in our front yard..

He has to keep a close eye on them through the front side light windows..

and keep Momma informed as to their shenanigans

When we go outside,

in the back yard,

we have to wear our “bark collars” to remind us not to “talk” to these city folk…

Apparently , our big dog barks, scare some and irritate others…

it’s kinda funny we don’t bark near as much as

some of the smaller pups that live around..

but, in order to keep peace

and let all those suspicious characters go about their business we wear collars that if we bark squirts a citronella spray, it smells like lemons..YUK!!

So now when we go outside..

and those other puppies talk to us…we don’t answer.

Even when I would rather stay inside and continue a nice nap in the cool if Thibby needs to go out I accompany Momma to the deck to keep a watch over him..so nothing will happen to my little brother…

you never know what kinda of trouble could arise with all this commotion going on all around us

So you see we stay very busy

for a couple of country pups in town…

When we go inside we

get a little cookie each for being so good…

And we do love our cookies!

But, Thibbs absolute favorite treat of all is the “PONG”

yeah, yeah so the real name is a Kong..but, Momma couldn’t remember and kept calling it a Pong till that’s it’s name around here..

If Momma hasn’t thought of it that day…he will find it , take it to her and drop it in her lap…

He wasn’t to sure what to think of it the first time she fixed us one…

why that young whipper-snapper had never partaken of any peanut butter before…

Now it’s kinda like an addiction!

Yum!

Then at the end of each day, just a little while before

the sun goes down we will hear that work truck pull into the drive…

We’ll stop playing or jump up from a nap to greet our Daddy at the front door!!!

We love our Daddy and can’t wait for our afternoon petting we get when he gets home!

Thibby even gives up laying on the couch

For a good nap in our

Daddy’s lap.

Until next time…

If you are looking to find a nice cool spot for your next nap…

try the kitchen tile.

Chloe

We love and take care of y’all so, please take care of us!

Hey, all y’all…

Miss Bo-Bo, Chloe and I realize just how lucky we are compared to a lot of kittens and puppies out there…But, we still want all those other little fur balls to be taken care of…

and nothing to happen to them so they can continue to lead safe and healthy lives!

We just came across an e-mail our Mama get’s from the “Home again” company…

They have these micro-chips that Chloe and I have..just under our skin..so if anything should happen..someone (human that is)  can tell where we belong without having to know how to speak

“Pyrenees-ian”

Great idea, huh?

Any way, we wanted to share these safety tips and such

so

all y’all can take real GOOD care of those loving pets that share your lives!

Summer Pet Care

Summertime is fun time, but hot weather makes for some unique pet care challenges. Both dogs and cats are at risk to heat and sun exposure, and need a little extra TLC to keep their coats primed and protected. But other dangers, like bugs and lawn fertilizers, pose additional risks for pets. So throughout the season, adapt your pet care routine to protect your pet from summer’s safety threats.

Humans aren’t the only animals that can find a hot summer day overwhelming. Unlike you, however, your pet has a limited ability to deal with the heat. Dogs and cats release heat through their paw pads and by panting—yes, cats pant, just more subtly. Dogs tend to drool as they keep cool, and cats lick themselves to lower body temperature. Dehydration can be a big problem. Make certain that pets always have access to plenty of cool water, and avoid letting them outside during the hottest parts of the day.

Providing your animals with a cool, shady place to rest is essential to summer pet care. Dogs and cats, particularly those with short, fine hair and pink skin, are susceptible to sunburn. Prolonged sun exposure for any pet can result in skin cancer, so it’s important to manage their time in the sun. Dogs and cats are most susceptible to sun damage at their ears, nose, and lips, where less fur protects the skin. Short summer haircuts are essential to keeping your pet comfortable, but they increase sun exposure. Talk to your veterinarian before applying any type of sunscreen—some are not safe for pets! When you find the right one, apply before exposure, and reapply often.

Another summer pet safety issue is the presence of ticks and other insects. Not only can bugs carry disease, but the ways people ward them off can cause problems for your indoor-outdoor pet’s health. Fertilizers and pesticides may help keep a lawn looking great, but they can be very dangerous for your pet. In areas where your pets play, it’s better to keep the grass cut short to reduce ticks and other insects. Talk to your vet about how to protect your pet from fleas, ticks, and other insects more prevalent during summer months.

Keep an eye out for toxic hazards when you’re outside with your pets. Fertilizer warnings on the edge of a lawn are a good signal to stay away, and you should also keep an eye out under cars. Anti-freeze can leak when cars overheat, leaving puddles that your dog or cat can easily lap up. The sweet taste of anti-freeze is tempting to pets and, but this toxic substance is potentially lethal.

Finally, although it can be an enormous amount of fun to bring your dog to the beach or pool, always keep a close eye when he’s in or near the water. Even a strong swimmer could have trouble getting out of a pool or get trapped in ropes and other obstacles.

Enjoying a safe summer with your pets is all about thinking ahead. Watch over them the way you would a small child—protect them from too much heat, sun, and other summer dangers—and everything should be just fine. Summer pet safety isn’t hard. It just requires some thought and attention.

Quick Tip for Dogs: Buy a doggie life preserver! If you are going to take your dog boating or swimming, a dog life preserver is an excellent investment for his safety.

Quick Tip for Cats: Break out the kitty brush and get busy! Cats shed more in hot weather. Regular brushing gets rid of loose hair and helps control hairballs.

Now, remember all those little animals love you and depend on you for their safety and care…

we hope that helped someone somehow…

and now…

I can lay my head down

without to many worries…

and even though you might not can tell…

right off..

I am ever on guard…

you never know when a

true Cookie Theft might show up and want to empty ALL OUR Cookie Jars!!

and another one of my important jobs…

sometimes the house gets a little cool

for our Daddy..

cause Momma might just have one of those “flashes” things and turn that A/C dial on DOWN…

so even though Daddy thinks I am just being

“rotten”

I’m not…

I am being a leg warmer.

Tuff job..

But, someone’s got to care of ‘em.

sure am glad it’s me.
