snoozing and sewing

Tiny chumley is sleeping quietly today, lulled into a trance by George's gentle warm breeze. It's another one of those days where it seems like nothing is wrong with him at all. Yet I'm sure he still wonders what all the fuss is about, why his kitty perches are turned on end and his toyfriends are tucked away for safekeeping. Why dad went on walkies without him yesterday. Why we'll be going for walkies today while he sits in his crate. But despite these changes, he's been content for the most part to lie quietly on the floor, on his blankie and sheepskin, and for that I am grateful.

Baxter doesn't care much for being away from the action, even if the action is only the sound of a sewing machine whirring away or dad talking on the phone. He likes being close. He likes to know what his humans doing. I suspect if he gets antsy as a young dog might, we'll need to set up his crate, but for now and with our vet's blessing, we'll leave our snoozy boy to live life on the floor.

Two to three more weeks. I hope he doesn't miss out on all of autumn, but most of all I hope he'll just stay happy. All little doxies deserve at least that much, no matter how hard their bodies might try to work against to them.

I thought I'd also take a moment today to share some peeks at Oskar's new duds. Busy hands make for a less busy mind, so it's been good to do something other than wait and wonder. Today's peek is at Oskar's blue and winter white houndstooth woolen selection, all finished now and ready to wear. I'm glad I didn't have the indigo denim I thought I had for the binding, as I think hand dyed fabric always adds that much more depth visually. I can't wait to see how it looks on little Oskar.



Tomorrow, a Baxter update, and a peek at Oskar's gold and navy duds.
