Wildflower House...

 I have to crow about a friend of mine (not that she really needs it!).
Have you ever visited Wildflower House on Etsy?
This is Sharon Chapman's shop, full of her artistic creations.

 I recently received these bookmarks and notecards from her
and I can't tell you how much I love them. Sharon's watercolors
are beautiful, and her creations make me smile. She chooses high
quality stock for each item and then sprays them with a preservative
so that each little piece of art will last a long, long time.

You can also visit Sharon (and her sweet little dog, Teddy) at her blog
by the same name. Just click HERE to stop in and say "hello".
I'm sure you'll enjoy her blog and her creations as much as I do.
Sharon is a really great person, too!

Tuesdays With Tag - My Fabulous Weekend...

Hi again. Tag here!
I know that Mom told you all about our weekend, 
but I have to tell you how much fun I had, too!

While Mom and Dad were inside visiting with my trainer/buddy Mike 
and his wife, Joann, I was outside in the kennel reacquainting myself 
with all my furry friends. Man! I forgot how much fun it is hanging out
with Labradors, Cocker Spaniels and even a big, ol' Doberman!
They were happy to see me, too. It was like the best of all sleepovers!

Mike had this magazine in the house and Mom and Dad 
said they have to get their own copy. It's filled with 
all kinds of interesting stuff about Queen Elizabeth II,
all her dogs and what they do together.

 Did you know that she raises corgis?
Yup! She's crazy about 'em, but she has Labrador retrievers
and a couple other breeds, too.
Anyway...
I had so much fun while I was there that I was 
exhausted by the end of the weekend.

 Mom had to take this picture of me in the backseat of our truck
on the way home. I pretty much slept the whole trip. 
Those dogs just ran me ragged!

I don't know about where you live, but it's been raining a LOT around here.
I bet we've had at least 100 inches of rain since Friday!
(I'm not exaggerating either!)
I think I should be careful that I don't get moldy hanging around outside.
If the weather gets nice outside during the rest of this week, 
Mom said she'll take a video of me being cute to share with you.
Either way, I'm sure I'll have something fun for your next week.
'til then...

A Beautiful Time...

 Last weekend was spent on the east coast of Florida.
We were helping our friends, Mike and Joann
celebrate the end of a very busy dog training season.

 Yesterday morning took us to the seashore. 
We had breakfast by the water as we watched the 
weather out over the water making its way toward land.

 Tag was so happy to visit all his furry peeps in the
kennel, and our time there was much too short.

The storm arrived before we left, so we drove 
all the way home in a serious storm.
We settled in at home, happy that we'd made the trip.
A beautiful time spent with dear friends.

I'll start this week renewed and ready to create.
Did you have a great weekend?
