These are my most recent family photos. As you can see, I am tolerated, but not adored by all... This is Babe the Collie, Jelly the gray cat, Sallie the Lab-like black dog and Tiger.

I am so thrilled to be included on a segment of HGTV's "That's Clever" this spring. I'll post the episode date as soon as I have it. Keep in mind they MADE me smile the whole time. I'll be making a papier mache Pug!
From time to time I'll post the fun places I go with Jeri. Today I am just hanging around the studio while she creates this blog. See how excited I look? Ho-hum.
Sock Monkey had a grand time relaxing on Tybee Island this weekend. He played Bingo, but sadly didn't win anything. Here are some photos of Sock Monkey soaking up the rays near the ocean playing in the sand. He came back refreshed and renewed!
