You may have noticed I have been a bit quieter than usual, and you may have remembered that I was going to post pictures of a baby of a different kind…….
Well, here is what has kept me busy over the last few days…..<grin>.
I would like to introduce you to Benchmark Cosmopolitan. We picked this
little girl up at the airport on Sunday. She made the long journey from Dallas, all by her lonesome and never skipped a beat. She is fun, outgoing and may even give Maggie a run for her money…LOL!
What I could use some help with is giving her a name other than puppy. She has her registered name and I was going to call her Stoli, but Hannah says…..ewww…."Mom, it sounds like Ravioli" LOL. She certainly doesn’t look like ravioli now does she?
The other babies are growing in leaps and bounds. I am absolutely amazed at how fast they grow. In just a week, they have grown their feathers, their eyes are opening and they won’t fit in this nest for too long.
It’s been such a treat for us to quietly observe the developing lives of these little birds. You have heard me say many times, how much I miss the birds in the winter and how much I look forward to them coming back in the spring. This spring it’s been even more meaningful.
All this coming from a person who is terrified of birds flying around in a house…LOL! That movie The Birds really made a huge impression on me as a kid. I love the birds when they are outside, but bring them in……….not so much…
I have managed to work on a few fibery things. Watching the puppy in the yard has helped me move along on my shawl (more on that later this week) and keeping the puppy off of the carpeted areas in the house…ggg… had me pull the dyepots in the kitchen out again. Thankfully this little puppy seems to "get" that potty business is meant for outside 🙂

If the registered name is Benchmark Cosmopolitan then why not go for something like ‘Pollie’ or ‘Markie’ {which goes with Maggie]. I always love seeing your puppy pictures!

Who doesn’t love a puppy? What a cutie. We have four dogs and they give US a run for our money. I think I would be glued to the chair all the time when not working if I didn’t have to jump up and let them in and out. They have me trained really well! We have a branch of the tree in our front yard that has a nest about the same as yours. Everytime I go up the stairs I stop to see what’s going on. Can’t see feathered babies but mom and dad and going back and forth a lot.

hahaha! we used to raise springer spaniels when i was growing up (Bopeg’s Ivy lineage) and for a while we had “old ivy” and her daughter, also named Ivy, since originally she lived with my grandparents. when we took her to live at our home, we just called her “puppy” since her mom lived with us, too. it stuck long into her geriatric years, because it was such an affectionate-sounding name, it baffled the friends and neighbors, who always needed an explanation.

How about “Cosmo”? It reminds me of an old TV show and the drink, not the magazine.
My next dog, who may be a puppy right now, if I’m lucky, is going to be “Gordo”. after Charles Gordon “Gordo” Fullerton, an astronaut and research test pilot I know. The previous two were Buzz and Neil.

Kim, she is to die for beautiful! I love Cleo’s type also from her pics. I am so in love with my Cavaliers, I cannot begin to express how much. We are going to take all three to Nags Head, NC for vacation next month! Only way I could go – could not leave my “puppies”.
Caroline is 9 now and my angel, Sam will be 9 in October, and Eli the “baby” is 5 in June. Sam is a never-ending source of joy to us, and we are forever grateful that you allowed him to live here! His last heart check was good, and he goes in for an ultrasound in July. Will talk with you soon, hopefully!
