LITTLE BIT TOOK A TRIP

Hi, I'm Little Bit and I am blogging on my mom's blog today.

I have lived here about one week and I love this place!!  They mostly do everything I want them to do.

This is my new luggage.  I think it looks like a designer bag, don't you?

My mom said I needed it for all my wonderful travels with her and my papa.  She said we would take car rides and everything.  I love to explore.

Today's trip was to meet a couple of special people. People that my mom thinks will be important in my life.

The first person was my vet, Dr. Liz, and she just cuddled me and loved me and told me I was so cute!

She also said I was very tiny for my age -- that would be 16 weeks.  She said most Yorkies this age are almost twice as big as I am.  I only weigh 2.2 lbs.

She is embarrassing me looking at all my "special" parts.  Oh, well, a girl just has to endure it.

Dr. Liz was very nice to me, but she did give me a couple of shots and one of them hurt and I yelped.  My mom said "It will be okay".  Well, maybe it will and maybe it won't...she wasn't the one to get the needle in her neck.

After I met with Dr. Liz, Mom said I was going to meet Miss Debbie.  She is the groomer.  Mom told her I was a "matted mess" and I needed cleaning up.  The very idea!  Here is what I looked like.

Now, just tell me, don't you think my long hair is pretty?  It is a little curly and I think it is cute.


I don't think mom and the groomer agreed with me so Miss Debbie made me look like this.  Which do you like?  Long hair or short hair?

As you can see I am in the laundry room.  Yes, my mom is with me.  I have to oversee that she does the laundry correctly.  After all my blanket and quilt are in the load in the dryer.

I am watching her sort another load. . .

After 3 loads I want to know "are we finished yet?"  I want to go do something more fun like play with my Snoopy dog.

Snoopy and I are watching mom cut up fabric strips for the kits she is taking to retreat this week.  Wish I could go with her.

I will just stay home and hold on to Snoopy and keep Papa company.

She is still cutting fabric.  I am just going to rest my head on Snoopy.

She just said it wouldn't be much longer and we could go outside.  I love it outside.

I need to say bye now,  I think Mom wants to write a "real blog" about quilting and stuff.

A LITTLE BIT OF JOY

Last weekend was the Longest Yard Sale and my hubby and I were vendors.  We had four great days of selling.

On Saturday one of the vendors brought this cute little puppy to sell.  I fell in love with her from the get-go.  She has such a cute face and she only weighs 2 pounds.  She is personality plus!!

For several months I have been looking for the perfect little house dog.  I wanted one that would be a good lap dog as well as one that enjoyed playing games with me.

I have a cat, her name is KeeKee, and she is 4 years old and weighs 12 pounds.  She is not a lap cat.  In fact, she is a DIVA.  She was very affectionate as a kitten, but her personality has changed as she has grown.  She does not really even like to be picked up anymore.  Of course, she must initiate each quilt as it is finished.

The relationship between cat and dog is ongoing.  Right now, the dog is in control and the cat does not know what to make of this teeny little bundle of fur that is not intimidated by her hisses.

I wanted a pet that thought I was the greatest thing on the planet.  My cat clearly thinks I was placed here to serve her and she could care less about how special I might feel if she paid any attention to me.  This universe is only about her.

So the search was on.  I wanted a toy dog that thought I hung the moon and would always be happy and ecstatic to see me.
When I met this little four-month-old Yorkie she was all over me and her whole body was wagging, not just her stub of a tail.
She cuddled and licked and cuddled more.

She had been named Tess and for 3 days we had tried to call her Tess, but it just was not working.  The name was way too "big" girl for such a petite little feisty gal.  We have finally settled on calling her "Little Bit" and sometimes, we say "Bits".  It is working and she responds well to this name.

The process is on.  Walking her, training her, feeding her, and cuddling with her all take up my time.  This means I have not been to the studio all week.  I plan to get there tomorrow or the next day. Of course, Little Bit will be going there with me.  Another adventure for her and lots more smiles and laughter for me.

In the meantime I am having the time of my life with Little Bit.  She is such a tenacious and sturdy little bitty furry bundle!!
