Monday Mischief - Great Weekend

We just had a terrific weekend!  Yes, it did turn cold and rainy again but after all that heat we had, the spring flowers and plants really needed the rain.  Saturday morning was great.  I love getting up early and having my morning coffee on the weekends.  Yes there's lots to be done, but there's no pressure.  I have learned the older that I get not to stress if things don't get done.  As my Mom used to say, "the world isn't going to end".   Some how having this attitude seems to get things done quicker.  Whatever.  I was having my coffee trying to get some commenting done, hubby was sleeping in and the hounds had gone potty, been fed and were now back to sleeping.


Gloria went back to bed with her Dad.
And Freddie chilled in his chair.  Yes, I said his chair.  The first step is accepting it.


Ah....I love these moments.
This is my quiet time.

Until of course Freddie Spaghetti realized he was being ignored.


First he took my sweater off of the office chair and a rag out of the hamper.  He does know how to get the lid off of it to get to the clothes inside.  I now know that if I ignore this behavior, he just lays on his "treasures" and whines and does not chew them.  After a while he tries to find something else that he thinks will get my goat.


"Yuh, huh!"  "How's this working for ya Momma?"  "Look a big bath towel!" "My bad now or what?"

Normally this would start to peeve me off, but Saturday morning I was just too excited. When I was reading through the blogs I follow leaving comments, I had a real surprise when I got to our friend Bailey Be Good's blog.  Apparently his Momma had been up to some mischief too!  Just look what his Momma drew!!

                                       

It's my Freddie Spaghetti!  Bailey's Momma is soooo talented and did an amazing job!  Just look at Freddie's eyes.  That is him to a T!! I was so happy and was busy contacting Bailey's Momma to thank her and tell her we just had to have this wonderful picture!  You have got to go over to Bailey Be Good and check out some of her other pictures.  She can draw lots of things, but I love her doggie pictures.  They are so life like and the cost is reasonable for all the work she puts into her drawings.  You can just click Pet Portraits, DrawingMom.com or scroll down my sidebar and click on her button. While your there you can see what Bailey and her sister Nala have been up to.  Maybe you'll even see Bubba!
Thanks again to Bailey's Momma!  It made my whole weekend!

  1. LOL. The eyes... It's so pretty. Bailey's momma have very talented hands.

    Aww, Freddie is such a Mama's Boy. Gloria goes back to her dad while Mr. Spaghetti gets to bug you for your full attention. Haha.

    I love those chair photos.

    And I get what you mean about stressing out regarding things to finish. I also love my morning coffees. ^^

    Huggies and Cheese,

  5. Awww, you are all so sweet!! My mommy thanks you! :) :)

    The drawing isn't displaying 'cause of some privacy thing I have to prevent bandwidth theft -- so sorry about that! You could copy the image and upload it to your bloggie if you like, though. :)

    We can't wait for you to receive Freddie -- it's shipping out tomorrow! Teehee!

    Woofs & hugs, <3

  11. What an amazing drawing. As for the mischief they will do what they have to when they want attention.

  12. Wow - that drawing is aMAzing! Bailey's Momma really is really good!

    I am all too familiar with Freddie's little game of "I will not be ignored" ;) as Bella is a master thief herself. Like you, though, I have realized she's not going to chew the things she steals - she's only looking for attention. Bad momma that I am, I usually give it to her. Heck, life is short - we need to play with our dogs. ;)

    Sounds like you had a nice relaxing weekend! I love that you have accepted that is Freddies chair. I still battle both of my boxers on a daily basis for what I think is my chair, but I am slowly losing that battle the bigger they get.

  24. Hey Freddie, Hey Gloria, Jet here. Hi Miss Janet. Wow, what a stellar picture of Freddie. Mom said she understands why you glossed over my buddy's mischief!

  25. Those slumber moments are to be treasured as Gloria clearly shows. As for Freddie his character trait is something else lol.

  26. I use to feel like I had to get it all done too and then this little light went off in my head that it really was not a big deal if I didn't. So I want to enjoy myself and do what makes me happy as well as having a happy family. Cleaning house will get done and if it really cries out to clean I will do it.

    I like to get up early ...just not in the dark please...and be able to appreciate the quiet or see the beauty in the sky.

    I got a chuckle over Freddie trying to get your goat! That is so Tucker.
