It's done!

Hello, everyone. Mom here today. With Bacci's help, I have completed the quilt! This is the biggest project I have done so far and there are lots of "humility" spots in it, but I like the way it turned out none the less. Dad has even said how much he likes it, and he never makes comments about my quilts!

Now, I'd better get it off of the floor before the dogs think that it's for them....

My new job

Ciao, everybuddy. Bacci reporting in today. Mom says I have a new job as Quilt Assistant. She spread this quilt backing onto our living room floor - the only space in our house where it would fit - so she could make a quilt "sandwich." Well, anything to do with food and I am there! So I helped myself to part of the sandwich by lounging on the backing. I'm still waiting for the sandwich to appear, however. No food was involved in this process at all! She just made layers of fluffy white stuff called batting and then more fabric that's she's been piecing together on top. The batting was kind of fun - it reminded me of the snow outside, but not wet and cold. As you can see, Guinness was overseeing the work as well, hoping for her own job - but she's our Weather Grrl, so she already has a job.

Anyroo, foster mom said that I was a very big help to her, keeping everything in place like that, so she gave me the job of Quilting Assistant. It will be my job to oversee the sandwich part of the process and make sure that every pup in the house contributes copious amounts of dog hair to each quilt, making them extra warm and fluffy. It's a big responsibility! I wonder what I get paid for this extra service? hmmmm.....we'll have to talk....

Ciao for now, Bellas!

Cold days call for soup!

Haroo everypup! It's Guinness, your weather grrl here, reporting that it is COLD outside. The boys love the cold and they play outside like it's the middle of summer or something. Me, I come inside as quick as a bunny. It's also cold enough that dad decided to make some chicken soup. Good thing too, he and mom have had these terrible hacking coughs for over a week now.

Anywoo, here we are, all three of us jr chefs, waiting to help dad and supervise the soup makings. We have to be sure he gets just the right amount of chicken into the pot or he'll mess the whole thing up. He'll put some other good things in the pot too, like one of my personal favs-carrots, and celery and other yummies too. Then he'll let is simmer on the stove and the whole house will smell heavenly.

Hope all of you are staying warm and toasty and out of the cold, unless you like that sort of thing.

Love and snoses,
Guinness Grrl


Pee Ess,
That wubba from the last post - it's history! The boys took it apart and now it's gone. Boys!

Getting ready for the holidaze

Haroo, everypup & kitty! Shiloh here, fresh from the groomers. Don't I look especially white and fluffy? I'm not the only one getting ready for the holidaze round here. Guinness went to the groomers with me and we both smell so clean and fresh. Better than the mud smell we've been sporting, that's for sure. It's been really wet and muddy here and it's hard not to get it on you.


Mom's been cleaning like a madwoman and making lots of home made goodies. The photo below has the home made pasta mom's been crankin out. She and dad have a huge open house on Christmas Eve - the whole world comes to visit and eat! So, if you're in the neighborhood, stop on by. We'd love to see you! I'm pretty shy, so having another pup or two would help me get over all of the people in the house.

Season's Greetings

Haroo, everypup & kitty. Guinness Grrrl here reporting today. A while back, we reported about a photo session mom and dad took us on for their anniversary. Well, here's some of the results - our holiday greeting cards with Shiloh and me as supermodels! Mom and dad said we were very good for the photographers and we want to apologise to Stormy, of the Army of Four, because we cooperated and failed our classes of non-cooperation on that day. We'll try and do better in the future.
We want to take this time to wish everyone a Happy and Healthy Holiday Season and the bestest New Year ever!
Love and snoses,
Guinness and everyone at the Stoutino Inn and Foster Kennel

Bringing in the tree

Ciao, Everypup & kitty. Bacci here, and , for the record, I'd like to say that bipeds are pretty silly. Foster mom & dad have brought a tree into the house! Here I am, sitting all pretty next to the evidence. Why have they brought a tree into the house? They aren't using it the way I thought that they would, and they don't want me to either. But they sure are making a big fuss over this tree. They are hanging things on the branches and doing other silly things around the house too. Shiloh and Guinness say that this happens about once a year and it is worth all of the fuss because presents are involved at some point. We'll see what develops, I suppose, but I don't see any presents yet.
