Rainy days and puppy training.

Hi! I'm Jennifer. Welcome to Thimbles, bobbins, paper and ink. Reading and viewing other people's blogs is so much fun and consequently I've been inspired to start my own to share my love of animals, rubberstamping and card making and also sewing. I hope you'll visit often and share your thoughts.

It is pouring down rain today and at my house that literally is "raining cats and dogs." I have three cats and two dogs. We just purchased our 2nd Newfoundland dog last week. GABRIEL, as we call him, is a Landseer Newfoundland and wears a white coat with black patches. Gabe is 9 weeks old. Our "older" Newfoundland dog is a black female who we call 'Bella (short for the Lady Isabella.)

OK...back to the rain. It is pouring down rain and we are deep in the midst of potty training for dear little Gabriel. He's doing great with the help of 'Bella showing him what is expected. I think today I'm going to be in a constant state of dampness, wet tennis shoes and draining umbrella as we make our hourly trips out in the storm. Ahhhhh....puppy love! :o)

  12. So the dogs get their own blog entry and not a word about any chillin's. I see how it really is.

    You shouldn't have given me your blogsite. I'm going to be the only one to say more than "oooh pretty." :)

    Hmmm...I'm going to get blacklisted now aren't I?

  13. Dear gentle anonymous commenter:

    Your momma loves you dearly. One of your brothers requested no photos of my children be posted so while I honored his request I think I may have neglected to ask you and your other sibling of your preference. Be it known I welcome all comments (bring 'em on...I can take them!) and I do not favor the pups over you. Hee hee...they are cute though, don'cha think? Come on...ya gotta admit they're cute!

    Love and hugs,
    yo momma!
