I've been sitting here trying to come up with a title for this post. The trouble is: 1) I can think of too many titles suitable for the situation, but 2) none that is suitable for mixed company. I'm going to tell you a few, so if you have delicate sensibilities, please look away:
Skipper Rips Bentley a New One
Bentley Gets Ass Chewing
Bear Receives Colonoscopy
And one more that I refuse to post.
I have been so involved in finishing this quilt that I've been remiss in making sure the door to my office was firmly closed. I came in here just now, and the above scene met my eyes. Scream I did. Poor Bentley. Don't you know that hurt?
Now I have no absolute proof that Skipper did it. After all, I have four dogs in the house this week. But I don't need proof. I know who has a thing for that bear.
I think I have some more of the fur fabric somewhere, or maybe I sold it at the guild yard sale. At any rate, I'll find something suitable and patch up Bentley's Butt. If I thought it would do any good, I'd give Skipper's butt a whuppin'. But that dog is beyond rehabilitation, I do believe.
I'm almost finished with the quilt. Just a few more stitches and embellishments, and she'll be complete.
Meanwhile for your viewing pleasure, here are a couple more pics of life in The Yellow House these days.
I think I'm going to write to my congressman (a total waste of time on any subject) and suggest that this phrase be added to our pledge of allegience: One nation under dog.

Oh, poor Bentley! Perhaps you can repair him with basting stitches for the short term and dress him in a pair of summer shorts?
My sewing room has a screen door and a hook and eye closure to keep the cats out. It would NEVER do to let a cat in this crowded little room.
Applause and happy dancing that your Mama in the Mirror quilt is so very, very, very near completion! Be sure to keep it behind a tightly closed door!
Love your peaceable kingdom photos! I have towels on my couches and chairs, too. Not so picturesque, but needed.
Today we have the talk with FIL about rehab - and he has no choice. Rehab is it or he cannot come home. Do pray! Maybe I'll come live with you and be the dog sitter so I can avoid this family melodrama all together. How 'bout it?
Hugs!

How kind of you to buy that big beautiful chair for Sophie and Skipper! Skipper, you ungrateful little wretch, shame on you for attacking Bentley from Behind!

Skipper! Oh boy! You are in the doghouse.

Remember that in 'one nation under dog' it's innocent until PROVEN guilty! I doubt any of those furry ones are gonna' squeal on the one who did Bentley wrong! or...maybe they ALL did it!

Oh my goodness, you alternative titles make me laugh.

That hole in Bentley's derriere looks heart-shaped! I still say a calico patch with blanket stitching would remedy Bentley's em-bear-ass-ment.

I know it was a terrible destructive thing, but oh my, I would love to have seen this battle take place! Little Skipper and Giant Bentley. Hmmm, does bitter apple work for Skipper? We are using it to convince our 7 month old "terror" that the couch is not his chew toy!
