just wanted to say HI! and let you know i haven't fallen off the face of the earth -- yet. Not been sewing much lately. need to get back to that as I have a million projects to finish. Am looking forward to the big quilt show in Houston. Assuming we dont melt before then with all this rain.



oh. and we got a new QI... well puppy, technically she isn't allowed upstairs where the quilting is done til she stops chewing and is potty trained. So far she respects the stairs as a boundry, but we have doors closed and a gate up there just in case she wanders.

if ya wanna see her :D back to getting work done, and organizing stuff for the PTO and maybe carving out some time to sew.


It's good to see a post from you Kellie, it's been a while! Congrats on your new baby, she's a cutie......

Hi Kellie - it will be fun for all of us to watch your new baby grew to her full potential as a QI....please keep posting her growth chart photos! jennellh

It's good to hear from you, Kellie! And Hanah is such a cutie -- though that term may not fit her very well once she's finished growing. ;)

Hanah is purebred :) was told her mom was tall and skinny (square rather than the standard rectangular frame) and her dad was not a huge boy... so I dunno really how big she will get. I would guess she will be at least as tall as Tessa and maybe 130-140 lbs or so? Adult males generally run about

160-230 pounds, females are normally between 120-170 pounds. Tessa is 95 - a BIG lab So far (and I know full well this can change) she is a drymouth. And very smart and very willing to learn. Really good at snoring and giving kisses! Not so good on the potty training lol She met Mum and Dad's dog today and that went well. Which is a relief cause we will be dog sitting for 3 weeks soon when they go to PA. All I need to do is figure out how to work feedings. Snickers isn't good at sharing food and is very protective of my Dad. At least Hanah still fits in her crate and likes it so for time being she can be in there while Snick eats. Not as sure what to do with Snick while Hanah eats.

Sleepy kidlet is DD2 last year. She and Raz fell asleep watching TV. Couldn't resist the picture.

Oh, Kellie, she's PRECIOUS!

I want her.

Thanks for dropping in Kellie. It's good to 'see' you. . In message , Kellie J Berger writes

Cant have her but you can come visit :D

She gives WAY too many kisses. Tessa is protesting as we speak. (Getting back a little of her own puppy slobber medicine actually)

Someone gave my SIL a puppy that is half mastiff - half St Bernard. She's about 12 weeks old now and she's huge. But she is so darling and so cuddly. Her name is Emma.

My DB and SIL live out in the country and they've been broken into twice. They have an alarm system, but the cops never seem to make it in time. I think the lab and the basset hound have shown the burglars where the good stuff is kept. SIL wanted a great big dog for the scare factor.

I somehow don't see Emma ever scaring anyone. Of course, I haven't heard her bark yet.

Some years ago when my sis got robbed the bad sob's drugged the dog. DIdn't kill it but it was out of it for a couple of days.

Georgia had a bull mastiff pal in dog school. They really got along well. What a sweet dog that was. Kind of scary to look at when she got big but if you knew her she was a big old softie.

Lots of clean up for a dog that big. Many years of good times to you all Kellie. TAria

LOL... mastiff/St Bernard would be my dream dog if I lived anywhere that even remotely had a winter :D I grew up with St.s LOVE em And the dog's bark should be enough, especially if they see the bulk behind it. It is said that Mastiffs rarely attack (unless they or someone they love has been hurt) because all they usually have to do is stand between the stranger and their owner, as a sort of giant protective barrier that no sane person would reach over. Having owned a large Dane, I can believe it! So now we will have one big black rush to the door and bark dog and a Huge apricot stand behind for backup dog. DH will feel much better when he is traveling lol I just wanna get thru potty training. Her "presents" in the front room are drivin me nuts. But I will say the kiddos are much better at picking up after themselves quickly downstairs :D
