They look at me like I am crazy. How come they don't understand?

It all started because I couldn't find a Minnesota Viking Cheerleader outfit for Rua. So, I did what any good OCMD would do...I went to the fabric store and bought material to make her one. As I was asking for 1/4 yd here, 1/2 yd there, a scrap of this or that, they are asking me..."Ummm...just what are you making?" I proudly say "I'm making a cheerleader outfit for my little girl, Rua". "Oh how cute...how old is your baby?" "Well, she's actually a Doodle", I say. At that point, they almost roll their eyes.

But tell me, how can they not understand and think she isn't adorable?

The next time I went in (to get material to make a couple of FL Gator outfits for Brulee & Tira), the same person helped me and remembered me. I think they started to come around when I showed them how cute Rua looked...well, almost.

When I met my friend Susan in Iowa City a month ago, we went into a quilt shop to find some material to make a cute little dress for Rua. When the store personnel started asking me about quilting, I said "I don't quilt". When I went to check out, she said "I thought you didn't sew". I said, "no, I said I didn't quilt. I am making my dog a dress." I wish I could have taken a picture of the look and expression on her face. It truly was rude and I came really close to leaving the store, but I felt sorry for her...she has never known the love of a dog.

For Halloween last year, Rua was only 3 months old and couldn't really go out. So, I bought her a XS little princess outfit. She weighed 6.4lbs and I would bring her to the door when the kids came to the door.

Rua is destined to be a little princess, so this year, she is going to be a Medieval Princess. She will be attending a "Growl-o-ween" party next Saturday, October 22nd, so I have to get busy tomorrow and make her a costume. It happened again...they just don't understand.

I have finally come to accept that I am an Obsessive Compulsive Doodle Mom and proud of it! I'll post pictures of Princess Rua once I finish the costume.
