Sorry about Shug's cast. My honey has one on his leg as he broke both bones just above the ankle. Boys! mdmontalvo@yahoo.com

A few years ago now I was in the States and was captivated by the wonderful cloudscapes that fill the big skies on road trips. Your photos have brought back those memories. Your puppy blocks are so cute!! Poor Shug, I hope it's not too serious, at least his cast is a nice shade of green. Glad the zebras arrived safe and sound. No pressure to use them!!

Great post and wonderful photos! Do I know those darling pups? Think maybe I do. You are such a poet and sewist. Love it. What happened to Shug? Wild wood work?
