Down on the Farm

Zachary: "Mom, we're in luck. Farmer Cluck just finished icing her last batch of Cookies!"
Henry: "Can we buy them all?"

Yes, you can each have three Cookies.

Zachary: "I'd like my Cookies boxed up to go, please."
Henry: "Mmmmm"

Zachary: "I'll take this one, that one, and the one in the corner."
Henry: "Can I have mine right now?"

Yes, Henry, you can have yours now.

Why the box, Zachary?

Zachary: "Uh"
Henry: "Momma, we saw a Poodle last night!"

At the Dancing Dog? Zachary, do tell!

The boys visited Farmer Cluck's Kitchen today to score some of the best cookies around.

Our Daily Challenge - Mar 23, 2013 - "Down on the Farm"

Yes, believe it or not, those really are Cookies meant for dogs!

Adorable, aren't they? Made with organic ingredients and iced with powdered yogurt frosting.

Alas, no. I didn't make them. They came from a local pet store. :)

If forced to choose between being a…

…my Suburban boys might well pick "Country" - with wide open spaces and places to roam.

Of course, the City has the allure of people. Lots of people.

Hmm - decisions, decisions…

Dancing Dog Bar & Grill

Ok, boys. One more nice big smile for the camera...

"Cheesy Burgers!"

Perfect! The Dancing Dog's going to love these shots on the cover of their new menu.

Henry: "Can we take our hats off now, Momma?"

Yes, sweetie. All done. You can relax the rest of the evening.

"Weeeee!!!!"

Zachary: "Henry, can you see that Standard Poodle over at the corner table? Is she looking this way?"
Henry: "Why are we whispering?"

Henry: "Wow! She sure is pretty Uncle Zachary. Want me to tell her you like her?"
Zachary: "Aggghhh!"

Daily Dog Challenge "508. Informal Friday"

… evening, the boys like to go down to their local Dancing Dog Bar & Grill.

This is one of their favorite places, as the walls are covered with classic paintings of Golden Retrievers, giving it an inviting atmosphere and…

Our Daily Challenge - Mar 22, 2013 - "A Sense of History"

I'm pretty sure most, if not all, the paintings date from the late 1800's.

The Golden Retriever breed was developed in Scotland by Sir Dudley Marjoribanks, later Baron Tweedmouth, during the mid 1800's.

They were recognized by The Kennel Club in 1911 and the AKC in 1925.

The Artist

"... add the whiskers.... and we're done. Perfect!"

"Guess what, Momma? Uncle Zachary said Kitty and I should run off to Paris and become famous artists!"

What a wonderful idea, dear! I bet you two would have a lovely time.

Of course, the house would be awfully quiet without you around, and I'm sure Uncle Zachary would be oh so lonely.

Why, he'd have nobody to share the big, soft, cozy bed with, nor would there be anybody to help him eat all the Cookies....

Yup, it was really kind of Uncle Zachary to be willing to sacrifice so much for your happiness.

Daily Dog Challenge "507. An Homage"

Our Daily Challenge - Mar 21, 2013 - "O Captain, My Captain" - "a chance to pay tribute and celebrate one of your mentors."

Left to my own devices, it would be impossible for me to choose between my Mom and my Dad for this challenge.

The fact this is a visual challenge - and one with the boys - tipped the scales in favor of my Mom.

My Mom is an artist of mainly nature and still life, in semi-abstract forms.

As I was growing up she always encourage creativity and imagination in my own drawings, pen and ink, and childhood writing.

This is quite possibly the only full-sized animal painting she has ever done. :)
