B is for...

B is for a lot of things in the ABC along.

First, B is for Brett, also commonly referred to as Husband. He's a wonderful guy, and if you're interested in a long list of his virtues, check them out here. He has other fine qualities, but we like to keep him as humble as possible.

The second thing B is for is Bubba the Brainy Beagle. Well, maybe he's not really that brainy. He does know his own name, but he's still sure that every time we leave the house it is the last time he will ever see us again. He also eats anything that falls within his sphere of influence. Last week, for example, he ate 3/4 of a large pepperoni pizza that was left on the island in the kitchen. My guess is that the box was left open and he managed to snag the lid and pull it down. He also ate half the Christmas cookies my mother sent me, for which he nearly received capital punishment. He is cute, however, so I let it slide just this once.


Next, B is for Buffalo, both the rounding up of, and the fibre from. The buffalo roundup was in South Dakota at the end of September, and the fibre was a Christmas present to myself acquired during my visit to The Fold. I enjoyed the first a lot, and am anticipating enjoying the second.

Huh, I wonder if my beagle would look so brainy in glasses.

I was wondering when you'd reveal that little beauty....so soft and cuddly.

HAHAHA That could be taken the wrong way...I'm talking about the wool people!!!

I can't wait to hear about the buffalo skein! (BTW - I've been giggling all day long, thinking of that commercial!)

Naughty dog! The Christmas cookies?? Did you tell him he's lucky he's cute? I say that to my kids all the time . . .

I liked your B's! Also loved your previous blog post that you linked to where you wrote about why you love your husband.

Bubba does indeed look very scholarly!

I've always wondered what buffalo would be like to work with. What is it going to be?
