The Puppies Are Coming Home!

My husband has been on vacation with the kids (our three plus our niece) at the cottage for the past week.  I've been home working since our trip to Detroit.

I have had only this crazy little face to come home to each night:
Chipper (world's worst shop dog) at the violin store
 I'm looking forward to seeing these sweet little faces again:
Quinn, Aden, Ellora, and Mona at Greenrfield Village, Dearborn MI
When we picked out our dog from the pound we told the kids from Chipper's point of view our family was a pack.  The kids are the puppies, and he's protective of them.  (Sometimes too much so, but we're working on that.)  Chipper has stuck close to my heels all week, worried that I may disappear from our mysteriously dwindled-down family, too.  He wanders sadly into the kids' rooms each night looking for them before resigning himself with a sigh to his dog bed in my room.

We'll both be happy when the puppies get home.

    Chipper so looks like my dog Scottie from when I was a kid. Except for the white chin and belly.

    Aw, it's worth it to have them go away just to look forward to homecoming so much.

    Awww, that is so precious. :-) Sometimes, it is nice to have a break from people you love--not that you want them gone in the first place--but to remind you how wonderful you have it, and how much you appreciate those you love. BTW, why is your dog a world's worst shop dog?

      Because of all the dogs in pound we happened to choose one who 1.) freaks out about strangers, and 2.) howls at violin playing. So on the rare occasion he's been in the store when someone showed up to try instruments it was not good. When he's old and toothless and deaf he will be perfect there. Right now? Not exactly good for business.

    So many cute faces! :) Glad your family will all be together again soon. And sorry to hear about your dad- hope he's doing better. The story above about the dog howling in the store is cracking me up... worst shop dog ever, indeed!

      Glad to have you here! And I feel some days like everyone I talk to is a violin maker, so nice to know someone thinks it's at least unusual.

    Isn't it strange how too much quiet can be a bad thing? There are days when I LONG for a break from the girls--not a long one, though.

    I'm happy the puppies will be home soon. :o)
