Pet projects

Here at BeadStyle, we love our pets. On my personal blog, I like to write about the antics of Ginger, my 15-year-old shepherd mix. She has tried to eat an E6000 cap and once brought my dad a Ziploc of beads instead of her toy, but mostly she stays out of my beading business. These last couple of weeks, I've made heart earrings sitting in front of my TV (by the way, I've finished 36 pairs. Done, finally!). Ginger sniffed around then promptly fell asleep when she realized there was nothing edible in my pile of beads and chain. Making jewelry must be relaxing.

Ginger has trouble with other dogs (she's very alpha), but I am thinking about adopting Storm, a small lab mix. Storm seems like a sweet, friendly girl who's also respectful of other dogs. A match made in heaven?

Anyway, do any of you have two (or more) dogs in your household? And if so, do they keep you company while you bead? Or do they try to eat your supplies?

    I have cats, not dogs, but they definitely like to keep me company while I bead. A little too much company, in fact. My oldest cat usually starts by sitting next to me, then he puts his front paws on my leg. The next thing I know, he's sprawled across my beading board like it's his personal napping space. It doesn't make for the most relaxing beading.

    You know the string and plastic wire that beads come strung on temporarily? Well Buffy the nine-month old Smooth Fox Terrier loves playing with it so much that I had to buy a waste paper bin (trash can?) with a lid so that she couldn't raid it constantly!

    But she's great company and I love that she prompts me to take her out for walks. When I come back to my desk I always seem to have more clarity and energy.

    Re your Ginger + Storm, I'm no expert but it sounds like if Storm and Ginger can agree who's the leader then it should be OK (as long as they both know that you are *The* Pack Leader!)
