Today is a big day here in Squiggeeland...our Black miniature poodle Omar is Five today....seems just like yesterday when he arrived and carved out a spot in our family...All our dogs are family and make life sweet....individuals, to say the least, with as many quirks as humans...we also help by giving them special names...Omar was named after a character in the HBO David Simon series called " THE WIRE"...the character was a loveable Robin Hood type character , a Baltimore street hood that robbed drug dealers and takes care of his peoples.....Omar loves rides....bacon.....he loves/hates any white truck....the big brown UPS truck .... Mondays are a must when the trash men come... Sundays.. always are a bummer because we get no mail...he watches and waits for the mailman everyday.... this marks the high point of his day.....he loves to catch balls and chicken...and puts the whoop-ass on his little sister...Twinkle, our 1 1/2 year old Chi-weenie ( part Chihuahua and Doxie)...she is a third his size but full of spit and vinegar.. Omar has taught Twinkle to be a real part of the family...they chase each other and provide back up for each other when they think varmints are in the area...especially the non-existant ones....it is always a treat to bring a puppy into the mix and see how the older dog responds....they always bond even though you think maybe the puppy will meet an untimely end when first introduced.... ...Omar has a Town and Country Poodle cut with modifications I designed...he is loved at the Groomers , they call him a love bug....his new groomer says he has the most beautiful fur coat she has ever worked with and says he is so handsome..we think so....he hates wearing anything more than his collar, good thing we are in Tucson.....too hot for a dog sweater....he likes cold fresh water in the dog bowl and enjoys a snuggle...he does not shed and always smells sweet even in between grooming's....he is a joy on so many levels....
he has many nicknames....Sweet Boy......O......big O little mar....Mr. Handsome....Dude....and...my husbands favorite..Big Boy
so Happy Birthday. ..Omar ! you are the BEST
Mousey...

About Me
- g
- I am a working artist. I have been designing needlepoint since 1972,when after graduating college , I took an apprenticeship at American Needlework Center in Georgetown, DC. I found my calling and have never looked back.I have designed for the Washington Cathedral and the White House and continue a large custom business . In 2000 I started to design for wholesale under the name BY GAIL .In 2004 Squiggee designs was born and introduced on eBay. These designs appeal to me, just fun! Squiggee opened up the world embellishments to me. I have been married to a very wonderful master cabinet and furniture designer going on 37 years.He is the only man that has not bored me.He has a wicked sense of humor and a loving nature,we are well matched.Since his early retirement in 2008, he joined the Squiggee Family , managing the office and he is our link to the shops. He has become such an intracranial part of the day to day running of Squiggee Designs , that shops refer to him as " Mr. Squiggee". We have a Chi-weenie named Twinkle , a mix of Doxie and Chihuahua and her older brother, a six year old black miniature poodle named Omar , who sports with a small white goatee.
