No Bead Table Wednesday

Not this week.  Too many other things going on, between keeping an eye on Bella, and getting ready for Saturday's Market - although I did sit yesterday and make a few things.  Some funky rings....
 A fun polymer clay bracelet.  I swear those roses look REAL enough to stop and smell them.....
 An nice, classy necklace and bracelet of Chalcedony and Crackled Agate:  "C Notes"....
 This one is for ME - I have a ring that matches the fun flower MOOD beads.
 And as many of you have read, my time is now being split between dog and bead.   Bella is learning how to be lazy and stay cool on a 90 degree day. 
 I caught her watching my husband leave for work.  She already quite attached to him.  After all, he plays with both dogs just like he would children, walks them every morning, and cuddles with them at night.  I just dole out the food!  LOL.  I do a little more than that - but he is the dog whisperer in our family....
We were able to leave her in one room and sleep in another last night.  She still won't go 'potty' without me being out there with her, a habit that's ok right now, but is going to have to change before cooler weather.
Tomorrow will be her first test of alone time - we tried blocking the doorway of one room, leaving Zeus on the other side, and then pretended to leave for a few minutes.  She wasn't very happy with that situation, and cried and scratched the whole time, with Zeus standing right there wondering why she was making such a racket.  I think we may have to just close Zeus in the bedroom for right now.  He will probably scratch for a minute, and then go to sleep.  Hopefully we won't have to keep them separated for long.  But since we don't want puppies, and they still aren't 100% comfortable with each other yet (there's still a bit of rivalry for attention and toys), I think I would feel better and worry less if we separate them. 
Ah, the wonderfully fulfilling life of a pet owner.  I don't regret the decision to take her in one bit.  And I hope Chris and Ward don't either.  It must have been the most horrible decision to have to make to part with her after 2 years of love and affection.  To me it would be like losing a child....
Now to decide between a book or the beads....hm.  Too bad I didn't get a bead mag in the mail today - I could do BOTH!  lol
Peaceful beading everyone.  More Bella updates coming, so stay tuned...

I love your Bella! She is beautiful! I just love animals, period. We have cats and a beautiful Great Pyrenese named, Daisy. She loves the cats, too. I wrote a blog post about her on my other blog, www.lisa-colormyworld.blogspot.com, if you would like to see her. I need to post some pics of her on my jewelry blog, too.

I love how your Bella is looking out the window watching 'daddy' leave. So sweet! Pets are just about like raising children, especially the potty training of a puppy/dog.

Love the jewelry you made. The rings are really cool! Best of luck to you at your show! ttyl :)

Lisa - I don't know if it does this for everyone that goes to your blog - but when I put the address in the search engine - the most updated blog date I get is MARCH 16. Nothing newer. And I'm sure you must be updating it, or you wouldn't have mentioned it. Weird....
We are animal lovers too, and if I didn't have an annoying allergy to cats - I'm sure we'd have a houseful of those, too!
