I’m a store dog, from a long line of store dogs.
My name is Lily. I’m part Chihuahua and part Shiatsu.
Other store dogs have it much easier than I do, because I work in a Bead Shop.
Wherever I try to lay down, there are beads.
In the classroom, people are talking, talking, talking and waiving those needles all around.
In the front, everyone wants to pet me and make nice — not my thing.
And, try as I may, and feign as I might, I don’t think I’ll ever master this — beading and jewelry making.

5/5

Warren took me aside, and held me tight. He told me Connie had died yesterday.

I am so sad. I lost my best friend.
I know Connie is together with Rosie by her side.

Thunder and lightning all day.
Sorry Warren, No McCabe workshop for you.
I come first.

Again, Daisy. Jayden dropped Daisy off at the store.
And what is the first thing she does when she walks into the store? She runs to everyone, one at a time, and kisses each of them.
Daisy, THOSE ARE MY PEOPLE!!!!!
Paws off!

Beading and jewelry making have been wonderful adventures, from custom work, production work, and teaching. *Design is about the ability to make smart choices.
