DeleteLove your post, but had to stop by because of your comment.,, Is my Puppy that amusing? I mean, I guess she is or I wouldn't be posting her. Actually, tonight my husband and I were laughing at her - sorry - because of her, as she lay down to devour some leftovers he was dishing out. He said, "D'ya think all Saint Bernards lie down to eat?" and I had to say, "Dunno, but she has her own mind."
ReplyDeleteI must say, now when she sees me coming with the camera, she lies down automatically. If you see any posts with her sitting up, they were done early on ;-0 Really!
Still love your theme, and love your blog - carry on!
I like the idea of him being shipwrecked.
ReplyDeleteSorry I haven't posted in a few days. I was at Children's Hospital with my son since Monday. Glad to be back reading your A to Z posts.
