The dogs eat dinner about 4 and then they have this massive "play" session, though it doesn't look like fun to me. When they're both exhausted, I take them out, separately, to go to the bathroom and try to catch the bunny. Then we come in and they crash and I can stitch til about midnight. A lady on a cross stitching group had wanted to see how I position my stitching stand with the dogs ...
Sweet, Destructive Little Cooper
Dogs are funny (or NOT). Oscar was a destructive little chewer/shredder from the day we got him til he was a bit over two years old. He still cannot be trusted but he no longer goes after something and shreds it into a million pieces before I can get it away from him.Oscar would chew on furniture, on the carpet, on everything!

Eating at home is my favorite thing to do. There are places I like - Fogo de Chao (too far away/too expensive); Panera (Vince doesn't like it). I used to love eating sushi but these days, I'm not sure I feel comfortable eating raw fish. ...
