Betsy Whitt

I’ve been quiet this week - that’s in part because my brain got just a bit fried on Saturday when I finished the novel’s rough draft, and I’ve been doing as little as possible since then in an effort to let it recuperate. 
Yesterday was our three year wedding anniversary. (Woohoo! Go us!) I spent most of […]

Betsy says it’s supposed to be a nice day today, which means she might open the door to the porch this afternoon. Then I’ll get to go out and eat all the bugs and watch the birds flying around and it will be lovely.

Here’s hoping!
She’s still working on her novel, but she […]

Sometimes Matt picks me up and carries me around.

It was easier for him when I was smaller, but they still do it because they say I need to know how to get carried around. Apparently one time their other dog got hurt on a hike, and she hated being carried, so she fought them […]

Some dogs like to sleep in the sun. Some can always be found within a few feet of their humans. Some are chewers, some are chasers, some are barkers.
I’m an upside-down dog.
I always have been. When I was a puppy I would sleep upside down in my crate, but now I’m […]

Hi guys. Shiloh here again. I know I didn’t put anything up over the weekend, but Matt and I were helping our friends move into their new house and I was a little bit busy playing in their big back yard and exploring under their deck. You know how it is. […]

Hey, humans, this is Shiloh. Don’t tell Betsy, but I’m taking over her blog this week. She should be working on her novel, so I’m pitching in to help her concentrate on her work.
I hope I get extra treats for this!
If we’re going to spend the week together, you […]

I’m almost done with all the extended deadline stuff. If today goes well, I’ll be even more well on my way.
Tomorrow’s pretty busy. At the very least, I’ll be baking a dessert and shopping for a wedding shower gift for one of my friends, then going to said shower in the […]

I’m beginning to get worried about the lack of panic, actually. Odd, I know. But I have a Plan For The Day that involves getting panic-inducing things done and out of the way, so maybe I won’t hit the threshold this time around. We shall see.
Also, I’m trying out my […]

Just in case you were wondering about the outcome of our little vet visit:

She also got stapled back together. These are the consequences of clandestine late-night suture chewing.
She doesn’t like moving around, since she keeps getting the collar stuck on things, so she tends to just stand in the middle of the […]

When we woke up this morning, we discovered that Shiloh apparently ate her stitches last night. Odd, because they didn’t seem to be bothering her much, and then all of a sudden they’re completely gone (no, they’re not the dissolvey kind) and her wound isn’t quite healed yet. So we’ll take her in to the […]
