Riley: Hey – I like this new place! It’s nice. And that is a mighty handsome dog that pops up on that picture bar thingie sometimes. Have you thought about just putting pictures of me in all the spots?
Me: No, I hadn’t thought of that. I’m not going to think of it either. But I’m glad you like the new site. Was there anything else I can do for you?
Riley: I noticed that a box came in the mail. It smells pretty interesting…
Me: Yes – it came from Shirley. You know, Jason’s Mom. She sends some really awesome stuff sometimes – like coffee from Door County Coffee Company, or jams or something. I was just getting ready to open it actually.
Riley: Well I kind of took a peek in there already and I don’t think it’s coffee.
Me: How can you tell that?
Riley: There’s a card, see? I think it has my picture on it.
Me: Oh good grief! Let me see that!
Riley: I smell peanut butter too. What does this say? Read it! Reeeeeead it!
Me: Looks like you scored again dude – this time you get homemade cookies!
Riley: They are REALLY good too!
Riley: Thanks Grandma Shirley! I love you!
Me: She’s Mark and Anna’s Grandma – not yours, really
Riley: She won’t care. She loves me!
Me: I am sure you are right about that.
Me: So what are you doing now?
Riley: Shhhhhhhh. You’ll distract everyone.
Me: Distract? Distract from what?
Riley: I’m mesmerizing the next person into sending me cookies.
Me: Well, it certainly worked before. More than once as I recall. Good luck with that. 
I’m getting veeeery sleepy. Riley needs cookies. Riley needs cookies.
Aww shucks. Mental mama stole my words. Oh well.
Funny post and great pics of the lovable Riley!
:)
I just love Riley’s ears.
Gotta go bake now…gotta go bake now…gotta go bake now…
Keep up the good work, Riley! You are one lucky dog!
LOL Riley you are oh so adorable and If I made cookies for squirt i would but she is a milk bone kind of gal with some beggin strips on the side… I so love the hypnotist at work look you go guy!!!!!!
Oh Riley,
My “cookies” pale in comparison to homemade cookies from Grandma! You are very lucky! I cover up with my Grandma’s quilt every night but I’ll never taste her Our Cream Softies again. Anna and Mark must be the luckiest kids in the world to have two special Grandma’s! I also happen to know they have a very special great Grandma too! Well, anyway ….. this is not about them …. it’s about you … and your pictures are so mesmerizing!
Dlyn, LOVE the new look and loved this post … apparently when Google/Blogger ‘fixed’ the Followers button (which IMO was NOT broken) they also did something with the blog rolls .. and you were deleted (along with a few others) .. I wondered why your blog wasnt showing updates .. well its cause it was gone .. so thanks for the FB follow request which made me look to see where you were or werent as the case maybe …
Well, I must say, Daisy is going to be just heartbroken when she reads this. Gma Shirley really is her Grandma. But did she get any cookies…..Nooooooooo.
All the sudden I have this urge to go and bake something with peanut butter in it. I can’t figure is out.
how adorable
…Why do I suddenly have this overwhelming desire to bake cookies? Somethin’ keeps telling me to dig out my dog bone shaped cookie cutter too… Hmmm, strange… ;o)
…I love these posts dlyn and this new site is beautiful!
…Blessings you two… :o)
Oh, my God! His eyes were mesmerizing me. I almost googled dog yummies and had them sent. He is a little devil! But he is so adorable.
Love that ear!!!
This is too funny, Donalyn. Riley’s expressions are great. What a dog!! I guess I better get busy and make amends to Daisy.
I just love it when Riley posts.
Great new blog.
I squishy heart Riley!
Man that dog is cute and I know cute dog! Believe me! He’s cute!
Do you think it would work if I put pictures of MYSELF on my blog to mesmerize people into sending ME cookies???LOL
Whew! I found you eventually!
Long time no see…that’s a seriously handsome dog!
