Keli's Korner ~ The Westie and The Wauzer

While I was out shopping this week, I spotted this book: Hello Cupcake! Of course I was drawn to it because of the cover. The fact that I had a coupon for 40% off helped seal the deal, and it ended up coming home with me. As I read the table of contents, I was delighted to see an entire entry devoted to Westies, although the authors seem to be as confused as most other people about the difference between Scotties, Westies and Cairn terriers, since they include black and multi-colored "Westies" in their instructions. Regardless, they are really cute and look delicious! There is another set of instructions for Pupcakes, featuring many other breeds, Schnauzers included. I've read most of the instructions, and they seem pretty clear and simple to follow. The only drawback is that for most of the piping and decorating, the authors use a *lot* of Ziploc freezer bags. This may be an easy to find and inexpensive tool, but it seems to be unnecessary plastic ending up ...

Well, summer's over and we made lots of visits to the Bark Park this year, and made lots of new doggie friends there. Keli seems to be particularly fond of the boys she meets at the park. Penny makes friends with just about everyone. We hope we get to visit the Bark Park all year long! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ edited: Nov-14-2018 replaced photos from SewAmazin Flickr, uploaded to blogger

It's my 2nd birthday and we're playing with a new Happy Birthday loofa dog. Later, we're gonna have zucchini pupcakes, 'cuz those are my favorites. Yesterday, we went to the Bark Park and you know what? It was like it was Westie day -- we met one Westie who was leaving when we were just getting there, and another Westie was already at the park! We had so much fun playing even though I'm only half-Westie. We stayed for like an hour and even Keli was playing with the other doggies. It was really fun, but we didn't get no pictures 'cuz the batteries were too low on the camera. Instead, here's a picture of a plate from Donna's collection -- it's for a first birthday, and it's not really a Westie or a Schnauzer, but I still like it. edited: Nov-14-2018 replaced photos from SewAmazin Flickr, uploaded to blogger; removed slideshow from SewAmazin Flickr

Last summer, it was hot dog day in June when we tried to get out the old pool to cool off, but it had a hole in it and we had to wait a day to blow up another pool before we could have our first Westie pool party . This year, we didn't have to wait, 'cuz we got a new pool from PetSmart in May. It's a little smaller than the old pool, but we think it's just right for us. We're ready for the heat this year! Penny jumps in first, but Keli isn't quite sure the water is warm enough yet: Come on in Keli! We can both fit in here: This is actually quite nice, once you get used to it: edited: Nov-14-2018 replaced photos from SewAmazin Flicker, uploaded to blogger; removed slideshow from SewAmazin Flickr

This would never happen while they are awake: Looks almost like they are holding hands in their sleep, doesn't it? Keli (left) and Penny (right) were very tired yesterday after having had a nice long walk in the afternoon. They both decided to follow me upstairs and fell asleep on our bed while watching TV. Normally, they would never sleep this close to each other and I don't think they even realized their paws were touching, they both were sleeping so soundly. Excuse the blurriness - photo was taken with the camera on my cell phone, then cropped and edited.
