Rascal and ribbons.


Well as you can see Poppy-Dog
who is a teenager at the moment
is getting cheekier & cheekier by the moment!

We taught her to pick up things & give on command,
like when I drop pegs or socks when hanging out washing.
She decided to start pinching things
bring them to us....
my Hubby gave her dog treats in return
& now she has him trained to give her sweets
for her returning the stolen items.....
including his mobile phone!!!

So when she wants a dog treat....
and she is a Labrador , so always wants food!
She pinches things!

On a happier note,
As you know I have really enjoyed the
Crafty Ribbons Challenges
and have done all four of them so far.
I was worried I was pushing my luck
by entering them all......
But then when this one came up


I thought
I WANT THEM!!!!!!

So I sent a begging email off to Ali at Crafty Ribbons
pleading to join this challenge!!!

And they arrived today!!!!

I thought I would drap them on Poppy
to show them off against her shiny black coat.
But she got the wee box it came in!!!


Had a good look at it....


Decided she was having it !


Yip it was her's now!


I had planned to decorate it and give it away
with goodies in it as a gift.....


But I guess not!!!


Talking about the lovely people at Crafty Ribbons....
You know I loved the narrow pumpkin coloured
ribbon that came with Spring Time ribbons?
Amanda even gave me her left over bit from the challenge!
Well I emailed Ali when I couldn't find it on the website,
and she said she was gonna send me the end of the roll
since I had blogged about loving it soooooo much!

And she sent me this!!!!

That's almost a whole spool!!!
You will be seeing so much of this ribbon!!!

Talking of ribbon......
here's a sneakie peekie at my
Crafty Pad DT card
for this weekends Challenge!


Lots of love

Teen im loving Poppy dogs cheeky ways thats such a great way of getting treats - she is a genius! lol
Loving the ribbon you got - lucky you its so cute and i think poppy makes a fbulous model showing it of like that.
I have a Millie monkey that steels things for treats, especially my mobile phone - at the moment my favourite hairbrush has been missing for 4 days - she wont twll me where it is and i have tipped the rooms upside down looking for it! At least Poppy dog brings it back lol
love tasha xx
