"What's Doin'?"

"What's doin'?" A phrase my dad employed frequently. Perhaps even a synonym for "mish mosh." This is one of those posts. 

Judging from the feedback I've received, Dogs of Our Lives - the Dolphin was enjoyed by many of you. How did the story come about? I was trying to nap and those two doggos started tussling over the dolphin right next to me on the bed.

 I snapped some photos of them playing and when I looked at them later, the story popped into my mind. 

"We promise we will never ever tussle on the bed like that again, right Tammo?"

"Um, Pepper's hind paws are crossed, Lynn."

There is actually a lot of truth in that story, including Tammo's incredible persistence. He will wait a very long time for an opportunity to snag a toy he wants. 

Here's a video from last summer that exemplifies that pest-istence persistence perfectly.

A shot of Tammo yesterday with some of the favorite toys that "he" mentioned in Dogs of Our Lives - the alligator, three of the six snakes, the red tri-wheel pull toy, and the dolphin.

Needless to say, those two provide Craig and me with a lot of entertainment and laughs throughout the day.

(And could you tell I fell in love with the spinning clock? You may see it pop up again!)

Some of you had wondered about the extra surprise that I said would be tucked into the Misty bag as part of the May Give Away. There were actually two things:

A Stablemate sized haversack (in one of my all time favorite fabrics; I've bought many yards of this in both blue and red),

And then tucked inside of that,

The "Judge's Choice" bay pony on the first place ribbon that I won at Indy Blooms. (I've realized that I received a green NAN card by mistake and the show host is sending me a yellow one.)

Finally, there are more and more signs that BreyerFest is getting close! I've had several communications from Breyer this week, including the official papers to sign as a virtual seminar teacher and ambassador.

I am really looking forward to BreyerFest this year. It will be the 6th with a virtual component and by now I have my own traditions and must-dos engrained as part of my own virtual BreyerFest here at home.

Pandemic BreyerFest, 2020. 

As someone who was attending BreyerFest in its earliest days (Saturday night dinner for all in a tent!),  I never thought that I would enjoy a stay-at-home BreyerFest as much as an in-person one.

But I do.

I'm currently working on a series about past BreyerFests. Not all my earliest photos have been digitized so it may be a while before it is completed. Plus, I still have over twenty planned "Collections within My Collection" posts that are also in progress. There's a whole lotta research and writing going on here!

And that's what's doin'.

Stay 'tooned!
