Have you ever wondered what Amanda would look like as a QVC Sales Consultant?

Well, I was busting a gut as she was an auctioneer tonight and was broadcast on local television.

About half-way in, I get a phone call from Patty and her son Chucky Lee (who has a crush on Amanda), asked her if being on TV made Amanda a celebrity. Of course it does. She is MY superstar!

And I know... how lame am I? Rather than get out the old VCR tape, I took still photos. You can check 'em out here. I will say that she was very cute!

Oh, my darling, Oh, my darling, Ooooh, my darling..... Clementine!!!

Well, it only took a month to add to the Conaway Clan. Thank god, there were cramps involved. Miss Clementine has joined our family - an itty bitty female Viszla (who just farted). We picked her up on Sunday.

The first 48 hours were a dream... she began eating right away.... she and Jolie were playing. She loves her rope toys.... and then... yesterday morning... she finally figured out the dog door. And, upon completion of that mission, she hopped the FIVE foot fence in search of Amanda. Several hours later and many panic stricken phone calls, Clem was found and brought to the local animal hospital.

She's now back in the house all safe and sound... but we will be watching her seperation anxiety a wee bit closer. Of course... my first dog (Bonnie the beagle), ran away the second day we adopted her. Perhaps this is just something all of my dogs must go through!

But, this we know.... Clem is the sweetest little thing in the entire universe.

For those who missed the fabulous scotch dinner this past Saturday evening down in Nahant.... no need to fear... I have pictures to share!

Let's just say that I was a member of the Martini crowd that evening. By the 3rd dirty martini... the pictures became a bit blurry. eeek!

However, there was a reprisal of "Hope... and her 4 Watts". I really wish I had some rhythm!
