There is a long version and a short version as to the puppy’s name you can choose what one that you want to read.

LONG STORY

Mom would call us kids different names just to tease us. There was the Snodgrass family Sylvester, Suzette, Sylvia, and I forgot the fourth name. Needless to say any time I run into a person with the last name of Snodgrass I laugh to myself. I think that it was Amanda that Mom would call Penelope or maybe it was all of us girls. Now I call Breanna Penelope she doesn’t like it and I get the look. But I was walking Breanna home and I decided that I really like that name. I thought that would be a good name for the puppy. I told Jamie this and he laugh and said we could call her Penny. I know Jamie even if I do call her Penelope He will call her Penny. Nothing like getting a dog confused. Also with her liver and white coloring Penny might be more of a fit. So Penny it is.

SHORT STORY

I am going to call her Penny.

I will be going up on the 17th of this month to get her.

The rest of this weekend I have been working on bags for the lamellar, some yard work done and I got to see a friend from high school that is visiting Brenda. And I still have one day left of the weekend.

Last weekend was mad dogs at our house. Ruth and I did 30 different colors out on one dye pot of madder. That was a lot of fun. We also did some indigo dyeing that came out really neat. We took some screws and wrapped them in the fabric with some thread this gave a star burst effect. I also played with some folding the fabric to get a pattern.
Jamie did a forge building class.

On Saturday Ruth and I went to Inwood IA to look at some papyon puppies. I was not impressed with the breeder and the dogs where smaller than what I wanted. Today I went to look at some Brittany Spaniels I fell in love with a girl, I paid for her but will not be able to pick her up till after WW (SCA event that is next Thursday through Sunday in Wisconsin). I don’t have a name for her yet and I should have take some pictures with my camera phone. (I just thought of that as I was typing) I will be getting the kittens this week. I have two cats that I will be getting from one of Ruth’s co-workers. They are outdoor cats to help with the mouse population. I just have to convince the cats to go after only the mice and not the ground squirrels and birds. I think this is the month for pets.
