The kids are coming home for a visit this weekend, so I thought "Nicole, you had better get Posh Baskets off the guest bed". I had a gazillion little pieces laid out because the setting is really complicated (to my feeble brain anyway). There are two sizes of lattice, 10 1/2 inches and 11 1/2 inches. I have to really concentrate on which size goes where. Plus there are tiny little corner stones that measure an inch and a half. Seriously, this setting needs a rocket scientist to visualize it correctly so it doesn't get put together all wonky. My brain hurt after laying it all out. Lots and lots of pieces, all carefully arranged just so.
Ozzie has been driving me NUTS all morning, grabbing things from the sewing room and running off, snatching patterns, chewing on pillows etc. I decided to give him a nice chicken basted rawhide bone so he wouldn't bother me and I could sew and concentrate on Posh Baskets. The chicken basted ones can get kind of slimy and messy after a dog chews on them for a couple of hours, but I thought the risk was worth it to keep Ozzie occupied.
Not too much time passed when I heard a scuffling in the guest room. I got up from the Bernina to see what Ozzie was up to. I am leaving his eyes green so you can see him as the Demon from Hell he really is.
He had scuffled half of all my little lattice strips, micro corner stones and basket blocks into a pile at the head of the bed and BURIED HIS SLIMY BONE in them under the pillow.
That is his head on the right. gazing in dismay at his foiled efforts. If you could have seen the huffy look he gave me for disturbing his hiding place you would have cracked up. But not me. Not funny.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

You either have to laugh or cry and I would have cried! So much for being careful with laying everything out! Hang in there. Maybe next time the layout will be easier. I just hope once you put it away, that you return to it. You know how we are………..Nancy in WI

I’m sorry – I know it’s not funny but…it’s so funny! I think you need one of those portable design walls so you don’t have to worry about little paws or slimy bones. 🙂

Looks like the kind of happening that is hilarious later. It will make a good story, and you have pictures to prove it.

Not again, Ozzie! I thought he was being a good dog. I know it’s not funny for you, it sure makes me smile when I read of Ozzie’s adventures. He wants some one on one time – all of the time. *s*

Now I know you really REALLY love Ozzie ’cause he’s not dead after that trick.
P.S. We don’t allow those basted bones in the house.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Chance buries all his bones under my pillow! What’s up with that? Love the quilt! 🙂

OMG! And a slimmy bone on the pillow to boot.
He’s looking at you like “Whhhat?” Gosh, he is to cute, but I do feel your pain 😉

OMG I think I better head out there and rescue Ozzie…oh maybe I should rescue you instead…LOL! If he just weren’t so darn cute.

OH..NO…Not the baskets! Ozzie really wants to be first in line, but he sure has a cute “demon” face!
I feel your pain though! My little doxies are full of energies and mischievous too. I usually have to take them for a nice long walk to tire them out before I tackle any sewing.

Bad puppy. Bad, bad puppy. Um, I’m not sure who needs rescue more — you or the dog. I’ll vote for you and the poor posh baskets. Bad dog!

Aw – he just wanted to be in the thick of things. He’s awfully cute for a little green-eyed demon. You need to get yourself a portable design wall, but something tells me he’d find it great fun to pull the blocks off of that, too.

So sorry about all your pieces.

Green eyed Ozzie, I was giggling while reading it. But of course if he would have done something like that with my things I would be very angy. I understand you very well, hope you get everything ok now!
Have a nice day and relax (and a big smile to your green eyed demon)!!!
Have a nice day!

That boy is so darned cute, hard to be angry at him, but he is a very naughty boy indeed! Don’t you have a design board instead of the bed? You need to keep him far away when you are working on that quilt indeed!

Oh naughty Ozzie. I’ve had my two fur monsters get into my quilting too. Mason thinks all quilts/quilt blocks/flimsies/fabric are his to nest in. Hopefully you can find it funny soon. Enjoy the kids!

Oh boooooy – that’s a tough one – it would be hard not to be mad – but then you look at that sweet face and well I couldn’t stay mad long. So sorry about the mess of your blocks. YIKES and all for a slimy bone – come across a few of those myself.
Hugs – karen

Do you feel like you have a toddler all over again? I can’t believe how much you’re getting done! Maybe if I turned my sewing machine on, it would help.

I think I would want to cry, I think its time for Ozzie to send some quality time outside.

I’m so sorry…believe me, I know what terriers are capable of. But Ozzie is the cutest little demon I’ve ever seen.

Dear Ozzie, what a rich and varied life you live. Beautiful designer shoes, Dior lip gloss, surrounded by delicious fabrics & quilts, quails to chase. And now yummy bones to bury amongst the pillows! You are such a lucky dog. Your Mama must love you so much (!?) – and it would seem to be your life’s calling to make her blogging friends laugh and laugh, so well done you! Live your life to the fullest my friend, because I have to say, it could be short! Now, where did that bone go?

Thanks for sharing.

Yes…do you have doors? Maybe if you shut them?! ROFLOL! It is sooo frustrating, I know, but I just had to laugh at Ozzie. He sure wants your attention, all the time it seems.

Sorry for laughing. I just hear you saying Bad Dog over and over. Sometimes I really think the pets are far more trouble than the kids are.

hmmm I’d kill the dog.. seriously… save yourself years of misery!!! LOL my cat does this, he does his mad dashes then skids on my quilt! what I do now, when I have laid something out (on the floor I might add) is very quickly take digital pics of how I liked the layout, cause I can put $$’s on it that a very naughty cat will use it as a brake!

He really is a demon! He is determined to have your attention. It reminds me over and over why I don’t want a dog again. I remember those slimy bones.

OMG now he’s gone too far. I wrote the other day that I would seriously consider doing bad things in order to own that quilt. Bad little demon doggie…bad! You must have the patience of a saint. A friend of mine has her furry little demon in doggy day care-any chance you could find that for Mr. Ozzie? He’s like a terrible two year old.

Oh no! Ozzie you are in BIG trouble! ~Adrienne~

Oh my! Ozzie looks so very proud of himself, doesn’t he? I agree pets can be terrible trouble makers, but for me life would not be anywhere near as much fun without my doggies! It’s hard to remember that at times like this one, isn’t it? And you were being SO good to him, too!
