Our new puppy, Jenny, is 23 weeks old - August 2022

 



Jenny is 23 weeks old now and still puppying around. She doesn't know what rain is because she hasn't seen any for most of her life. She is house trained now, but with the door open so much of the time, that has been easier than it might have been. When it does eventually rain, the door will be closed and then we shall see how good she is about asking to go out. Maybe I should get a bell and teach her to ring it, but I can see how that might work against us! She might like ringing it so much that she rings it all the time, even when she doesn't need to go out and that would be annoying.
She is very good about going to bed. She goes to bed at 10 pm and Larry gets her up in the morning at 6 a.m. We've only had two broken nights so far.
On the down side, she pulls terribly on the lead when she is anxious to go somewhere or when she doesn't want to go somewhere. She is very mouthy, biting and teething everything she can get hold of so we are looking forward to that phase ending.
All in all, she is a typical puppy :)

A hello from England

This is a new blog and a hello from England. My other blog is no more because I was getting far too many anonymous comments of an unwelcome nature on it. I hope that my old friends and some new will join me here in my new home and follow along as I share my life in the sixth decade. During the lockdown I have been sewing a lot and making my junk journals so my hands have not been idle. We have been lucky, so far, that the virus hasn't found us. We lead a quiet life and don't go out much, but even so we have to be careful. Larry has now been living in England with me for 7 and a bit years.  It doesn't seem possible that it is that long. He now has his permanent leave to remain, which is a relief for both of us and we are very settled here with my family close by. Sadly, Larry does not see his own family, but they keep in touch on the internet, which is a blessing for people who live on opposite sides of the globe. Here are some pictures of a rag doll I made recently. Her nam...

This and that

 I'm a bit of a scatty blogger really. I seem to have so much going on all the time that it's difficult to settle on one thing. My garden has been lush this summer because we had lots of rain in June. The trees grew and grew, so much that we are going to have to part with one of them because it has just got too big. It's an ash tree - I didn't plant it; it planted itself and it loves it just where it is - about 7 feet from the house and 4 feet from the neighbour's bedroom window. It is a beautiful shape and gives much needed shade in the height of the summer, but it will grow much more and completely dominate the gardens, neighbour's and ours so when the leaves have dropped, we will have to take it out. Watch this space.... I've also been busy with my penpal group - Junk Journal Penpals Group on Facebook. We have 555 members now, although not all of those post regularly, if at all. Lots of people drop by to see what's new, but it often doesn't occur ...

A Hamster Journal for a very special lady...

Image
During the lockdown I have been busy making journals and sewing. This is one I made for a very special lady who requested it.  I don't think I would have thought to make a hamster journal myself, but once I got into it, I really enjoyed it. I hope she likes it too. The journal is handmade with a semi-soft cover and decorated inside with lots of pockets for keeping special bits and pieces.  I have also left a lot of the pages blank for her own decorations and writings. I used to keep hamsters myself many years ago although I never had a breeding pair.  In the main I think they are solitary animals.  They sleep all day and play all night so if you have one, be prepared for it to keep you up with its continuous running around in its wheel or trying to chew through the bars of its cage.
