Bouncing Bobbins

Bobbins surprised us recently by a sudden spurt in the growth of her legs. She now looks a tad less like a little barrel and more like a little dog. She’s now probably as tall as Tinkerbelle (albeit a completely different build).  Her new longer legs open up all sorts of opportunities for her, and it is not unusual to see a little Bobbins head appearing as she tried to clamber onto the sofa or bed. She has also found that she can jump – and when she does she bounces up and down, you’d just need the cartoon caption to say ‘boing’ each time for the complete cartoon effect.

She has also started to run round in circles too – like Millie, however she does circuits around Ian at meal times. It is quite funny to watch. Bobbins is such a sweet little dog, it’s impossible not to smile at her.

Without a doubt Queenie remains, through the strong competition, our most odd dog. Life to her appears to be one big exciting venture, especially rounding up her collection of logs which she does with gusto and little piles of chewed logs appear in various places throughout the day. We are used to it now, however my students often ask what the crash noises are, as Queenie drops a chew or log onto the floor and then runs off to get another.

I had some new Modme prototypes arrive this week. I had to make some amendments to the designs so I wanted to get them made before I get them ordered in bulk. I also tested some different density of dyes to see what colour range I can achieve. Still nothing from the tax office about the international VAT number. I checked again to see if I can find a company in Spain I can use, but I can’t find anyone with competitive pricing. Ian has arrange for some samples of boxes to look at to package Modmes in. I had found a German company which makes boxes which a company I buy jewellery supplies from uses, however these are quite utilitarian. The samples which are coming are boxes which are used by printers to send business cards to customers in and are deeper so it will be interesting to see how they compare.
