Velcro Puppy

 

My sleep schedule has been all messed up this past week. Overtime and I've been coming home, falling asleep watching TV and then waling in the middle of the night. So I've been working on my quilt for a couple hours. That pattern continued Saturday only I didn't go back to sleep. I stayed awake until I finished the binding. All done!

After realizing I wasn't going to come back to bed, Sargeant came out and snuggled net to me. He doesn't mind being covered by whatever quilt I'm working on. Of course, as soon as I took this photo he went from deep sleep to looking at me. Food? Need me? Getting up? None of those? Then back to sleep.

As I type this he's snuggled next to me. A big sigh announced he was going to another level of sleep. In a few minutes I'll be ready to head to bed. He'll follow, of course. That's what a velcro dog does ... stick to you like velcro! I wouldn't have it any other way.

Concerts in the Park

Last night I remembered to take some photos when Sargeant and I went to the concert. Since I can't get Blogger to post the photo for some reason here is the link to the photos:

Pictured is our usual gear: mat that folds up nicely so I can strap it over my shoulder; folding chair that also goes in a bag over my shoulder; and the newest addition, the umbrella. It's hot and sunny here until the sun goes below the trees!

I pack necessities in my backpack. Book or magazine or beading or quilting. Necessary bags for Sargeant. Dinner and treats. Towel/napkin. Camera. Cellphone. Wallet. Thermos for me. Water bottle and water tray for Sargeant. After a couple weeks of going to the concert everything is organized and can be put together in less than 5 minutes.

Sargeant now knows that when I pull out the backpack it's time for a concert. Oh, does he dance!
