Hope you have fun looking at my creations and other things I love in life.... calligraphy is my passion, but so is my family... consisting of "the love of my life", my hubby, and my three miniature long haired dachshunds. You'll see lots of them here. Loved this quote: There’s something sacred about reading a blog post on someone else’s site. It’s like visiting a friend’s house for a quick meal ’round the breakfast table. It’s personal—you’re in their space, and the environment is uniquely suited for idea exchange and uninterrupted conversation. In many ways, we should be treating our blogs like our breakfast tables. Be welcoming & gracious when you host, and kind & respectful when visiting.” – Trent Walton

Vessie Voodles!

This is my Vessie Voodle caboodle doodle head! Her real name is Vestal... named after the Vestal Virgins, as we went to Rome the same year we got her... and, more importantly... after Banjo Great: Scott Vestal. She is quite the character... I think you can see it in her eyes of how expressive she is.... She can get away with pretty much anything 'cause she looks so darn cute! She is a Long Haired Miniature English Cream Dachshund. She is my baby and I love her with all my heart! Who knows a Doxie who can go running for several miles? Well, this one can! She and her daddy go out to the park and she just loves it! Almost as much as her daddy does! (Running pics taken about 500-700 feet away)

Yesterday, he took her to the park and on the way there is a stream with some stepping stones that go across. They usually go there to look in the water and then continue onto the park. Well, yesterday she was on one of the stones and it was slippery....and she FELL IN... The sun was out, but the temperature was only about 50 out and I'm sure the water was much, much colder than that! I wish I had had my camera, but I only HEARD the story and wasn't there. She came home drenched, but it didn't seem to phase her in the least. Look out.. WET SMELLING DOG coming your way.... shhhhaaaaaakkkeee...... shaaaakkkeeeee!
Vessie's sisters had a fit when she got home... of course, they are older than she is and don't go running. They barely go walking.... Their names are Bela and Fleck and you shall meet them in the near future! They, of course, are named after the great Banjoist: Bela Fleck. We got them all from a great local kennel called The Long and the Short of It! if you want some great dogs... this is your place to start looking... www.longandshortofit.com Sharon and her hubby, Terry, run the kennel and love each and every dog they have. We are very happy with our choices.. or rather, should I say... THEY chose US!
