Thatcher's Head Start Training

 Once Thatcher realized that shoes = freedom outdoors, there have been a lot of requests with shoes held out towards me with a longing and soul touching, "Mama AHHHnnnnnn" and then touching his feet with the shoes as he plops himself down to the floor. There is NO stopping him now! And with this newfound freedom, Hazel has commenced Thatcher's head start training into Puppyhood...

Happily walking with Mama until...

"Thatcher come heeeereeee"

Bye Mama! Hazel is calling

He's one of the pack now...

"Look! Someone is here, We have to bark like doggies!"

 (I would like to note that Ernie gave ONE 'Woof' and stopped when I requested, I cannot say the same about Hazel...)

Thatcher pointing "Vrrrmmmm"

Hazel: "NO like a DOG! RUFF RUFF RUFFF"

Thatcher waving: "buaah bahhh"

Hazel: "NOOOOOOO like RUFF RUFFFFFFFFF!" 

Hazel: "And then we have to swing like Kipper does on Mama's lap"

Thatcher - just baby giggling his butt off

Hazel: "If we pretend we are puppies we get lots of snacks"

Followed quickly by, "Mama can you get Thatcher? I need to go get my stick..."

Welp! I think that's plenty in the ways of being a puppy for today!

Everyone leave your sticks and lets go back into the house!!

Looks like I have one Puppy ready to train their tiny sibling Puppy! I really hope that this works like dog training in real life HA HA HA!

What a great Head Start!

Always,

Amelia

My Favorite Flower is

 A simple question, "What is your favorite flower?" used to always have a simple answer, "Oh I really love Peonies! Sunflowers and Marigolds too! Anything whimsically fluffy and happy"... And that was that. 

Now as a Mother that question is more complex...

It is every clover

Dandelion 

Violet

Spring beauty

That tiny hands lovingly pick, smell and go 

"Oh MAMA! Did you smell this one? It's just like summer sunshine!"

"I think it should go in a vase!"

My favorite flower is you.

My Sweet Pea Hazel Bea

For every sunkissed moment, every flower you adore, the way your eyes see the beauty in the world.

THAT is my favorite bouquet, and WOW am I so lucky to watch you bloom <3

Thank you for sharing your world with me, my sweet flower

Always,

Amelia

Double Dose of Cuteness

 It is another ADORABLE PUPdate!!!!

Last year, two of Comet's puppies went home to a Mother and Son duo and they have the BEST playdates together! Family get togethers means family puppy days too! Maverick and Annie celebrated their first birthday together and have been soaking up all the summer playtime fun as the doodle duet they are!

It is the dog days of summer after all!

Two happy summer doodles <3 

Thank you for our double dose of cuteness!

Always,

Amelia

Dashing Dapper Kipper

 Kipper was ready for a new collar and with much input from Hazel, we picked out the most dashing and dapper of collars for one very good boy

Ready to show off your new collar Kipper?

"Can you see my bowtie?!?"

"I feel so fancy!!!"

"I am dashing!"

"Did I mention it has a bowtie? Oh I did?? Well would you like a closer look?"

"Oh thank you thank you thank you! I LOVE IT"

"I didn't know I would love to be so dapper!!"

OHH Kipper you big ole ham sandwich!!

Kipper continued to parade himself about the yard like he was on the promenade with a Bridgerton!

Sometimes you just need a new 'Outfit' to feel your best!

Just ask the most handsome of Havanese boys!

Always,

Amelia

Doubled in Size - Double the Fun!

I received another wonderful Monday PUPdate from Henry Bennett!

This double doodle cutie got an excellent check at the vet's office and is now double the size at 18lbs from when he went home. With only a quick pesky pinch to the butt for his next set of shots, Henry was a superstar! He and big sister Julie have been busy playing, making friends with the neighbor dogs, going for long walks, and celebrating big birthdays with family. His family says Henry is the happiest puppy there ever was!

Look at those tall big boy legs!!

Henry Bennett is growing beautifully <3 

He is always by his Mama's side

Bringing endless joy to his family 

And everyone he meets

He is always ready to play

And pounce with his sister all day!!

Thank you for the wonderful Monday PUPdate Henry!!!

<3 

Always,

Amelia

A Rose Quilt for A Rose

 The Y Acres Studio received an order for a baby quilt with a rush deadline. The mama is already at the hospital awaiting the birth of her baby girl so we had to get started right away! 

I sent the client a few design ideas

This one is called "Sleep Tight"

This is Sleep Tight with extra pink

An old fashioned pink floral theme

And finally the Abby Rose collection.

Abby Rose won by a landslide! Especially since the baby is going to be named Rose.  It is a perfect fit!!!!!

Better get busy

and get the squares cut for this quilt!

Y Acres Studio will be working over time this week!!!

Happy Rose Sunday from Y Acres Studio
