    Oh my gosh, such wonderful photos Claudia and the most photogenic (and emotive teehee) subject!

    I had a Siberian Husky many years ago that would bring me her dog dish!

    Happy week to you and Scout xo

      We all tend to be a bit dramatic in this household – Scout is very dramatic.

    She’s so pretty but she doesn’t look demanding, she looks like she’s singing. An aria maybe. I think that girl needs a tiara because she looks like a princess.

      We do sing together at times. When Riley was alive, they used to howl together.

      She IS a princess, Julie.

      Well, Scout and I sing together and I’m a mezzo – so I’ll say she’s a soprano – makes for nice harmony.

      She needs a bath at the moment, but it gets so muddy around here that I’m holding off. But she will get one before Don comes home. She is extremely soft, Jane. Like a cat.

    Claudia!!! I busted out laughing at her expressions!!! She looks like she is singing a song!!! You go Scout!! Sing it loud!!!! Those pictures are worthy of framing!! She is so darn cute!!!
    I stopped at my vets office today to pick up Mollys thyroid meds. They have a cutie named Speed who lives in the office 24/7. She is a retired greyhound. Dr adopted her when she was 7. She is now 12 and spoiled ROTTEN!!! She just wanders around and visits the other dogs and the “parents.” She is also a “universal blood donor” so in case of an emergency they always have fresh blood available. Speed is adorable!! She looks like a miniture deer! I just cannot understand when people say they dont like dogs!! Sometimes I like them better than people!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!
    Give that cutiepatutie Scout a big smooch from MJ in Indiana!!! LOVE the color of her eyes.

    Scout is adorable! He also appears to be a bit of a ham and knows how to speak up when he wants something!

    I’m new to your blog and wanted to say how sorry I was to read about Riley. It’s terrible to lose a family member. Did Scout take it hard. I know animals sometimes do and it likes like your dogs were close. At least Scout looks to be doing quite well now.
    Thank you for these terrific photos!

    I love the photos of Scout, it looks as though she’s singing. Glad you two don’t have to go out (other than for the necessary doggie thing). Stay warm and let it snow. Let it snow, let it snow!

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.

Scout & Riley. Riley left us in 2012. Scout left us in February 2016. Dearest babies. Dearest friends.

Winston - Our first dog. We miss you, sweetheart.
