The Continuing Adventures of Scout and Riley

October 30, 2008 at 11:34 am by Claudia

We are exhausted! Our days are so grueling that we are forced to take over the sofa in the den when our humans aren’t looking. Watching over this house and the property, making sure the humans don’t screw anything up, all of it – is draining. We are on duty 24/7. Of course, at least 14 hours of that is spent in sleeping. Recuperative sleeping, we might add. Truly, readers, you have no idea. And to add insult to injury, the last few days have been rainy, windy and cold, so the humans tell us “No walk today.” Do you believe it? Do you BELIEVE IT???? What is that all about?


Wait, do I hear something? Are the humans coming? (Scout is so sacked out, she can’t hear anything.) If they come, they’ll make us get down off the sofa and lay on the hard floor. We’d better go now… (Note to Mom: straighten lampshade.)

Psst! We’re thinking about starting our own blog–what do you think?

    I think you should give them their own blog.
    I’m sure you would have a huge audience. We do love our animals don’t we?
    Love your blog, love your pics, love your new Island and BTW. Happy Anniversary.
    Oh love your name!!!!

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.
