House of Shadows

I needed something to bring a smile to my face today so I’m posting this cute little guy for the Rest In Peace section of my Blog. You can’t stop yourself from smiling when you look at him. Of course, it’s the kind of picture that would make my sons groan and tell me how cruel it is to put clothes on poor little dogs.

It’s A Dog’s Life At My House!

When the boys were young and I took our Schnauzer to the groomer, she would come home smelling phoofy and wearing the typical little floral scarf. My sons thought it was all too sissy for their dog. So I searched and searched for a “Harley” scarf and made four scarves for her, bought her a leather jacket and wrapped them up for Christmas. She loved her new wardrobe. It still didn’t make her look tough but at least the boys were satisfied. She lived a long and happy life; the memories of her prancing around in her Harley scarf will be with us forever.

We have had almost five inches of rain in the past 24 hours; the skies are gray and towns are flooding all around us in Southwest Washington and Oregon. The weather is supposed to break today…but I’m skeptical about the accuracy of the weather report. The good news is that I’m just going to close myself up in my studio and get some work done on my Halloween projects for 2009.

I hope this day is a good one for you. And if it’s not and you need an extra smile…. just keep coming back to this page for another look at this little pirate. He was born to make you smile and steal your heart.
