Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Craftiness Hi, I'm Jenny. I'm the owner of Belle and Buttercup. Thanks for stopping by!
I love sewing, quilting, cross stitch, embroidery, dollhouses, pets and running. I'm currently working on designing cross stitch patterns for my Belle and Buttercup brand and living a more creative life after 10 years as a practicing veterinarian and 4 years running an online quilt shop.
Ginger: May 25, 2007-November 21, 2020. Our sweet, beautiful, confused, determined, tough, amazing love muffin who we nicknamed, “Puddles,” peacefully went to The Rainbow Bridge on Saturday morning after a 4 year battle with heart failure. She was the perfect addition to our family and we were lucky to be able to spoil her rotten during her golden years. 😢
Happy 6th Birthday, Betsy Biscuit! This lil’ pumpkin is having an awesome day full of treats, snuggles and backyard adventures on a beautiful autumn day! 🎃🐶🎃
Happy Half Birthday, Baxter! I’m freaking out a bit that my baby boy is already 7 1/2 yrs old. It seems like just yesterday that he was a wild child chewing up every potentially dangerous thing that he could get his marshmallow cheeks on!
It’s exhausting barking at the 10 neighbor chickens who have been visiting our front yard every morning!
Great news! Betsy Biscuit is home and feeling much better! She only had to spend 1.5 days in the hospital. She was soooo excited to see her family and I can’t stop smiling! Go Team Betsy!
Betsy Biscuit is in the hospital with pancreatitis! On Memorial Day she had to go to the ER for a foxtail that got up her nose. A few days later she developed tummy issues which we thought were due to stress from the foxtail incident. She got worse over the weekend, we went back to the ER yesterday morning and she was diagnosed with pancreatitis. Last night was the first night we’ve ever been apart! 😭😭😭 Latest update from ER is that she’s stable and might be discharged today. My poor baby girl has had a really tough week!
It’s Ginger’s 13th birthday today! THIRTEEN!!! She became a part of our family 4 years ago when her original family could no longer care for her due to congestive heart failure. She is such a tough, sweet, beautiful, absent minded, perfect lady who has earned the nickname Puddles! Senior dogs rock!
How is it possible to be so cute!!! 😍😍😍
Howdy Pawtner! Exciting news! We’re selling our house in California and building our dream house in Texas! That’s why we’ve been so quiet lately. My pawrents have been super busy doing tons of adulting while I’ve been working on my Cowgirl Couture look! Looking forward to making new furriends in the DFW area! Love, Betsy Biscuit 😘😘😘
Have yourself a merry little Christmas night!
Merry Christmas with lots of love from our pack to yours!
The sooner we go to sleep, the sooner Santa Paws will arrive! Merry Christmas Eve! Love, Betsy Biscuit and her pack.
This is the cutest nap EVER!!! Do you see the ❤️ they’ve made???!!!
That little lip tuck! I can’t even! 😂😍😂
Happy Birthday Betsy Biscuit!!! I can’t believe my sweet, sassy, snuggly baby girl is 5 years old!!!
Happy National Dog Day, everypawdy! Love, Ginger, Betsy Biscuit, Sammy and Baxter
It was Ginger’s Gotcha Day on Tuesday! So glad this sweet senior joined our family 3 years ago!
Baxter and I spent Sunday afternoon at the Pet ER after a THIRD Shedventure led to him getting a scratch on his cornea from a feral cat! 😱😱😱 He’s exhausted but recovering well and we’re looking into a professional, permanent way to block their access to the shed. If you compare this mugshot to the other two you’ll see how miserable he was. My baby boy has the spirit of a hunter in the body of a delicate marshmallow!
Guess who had ANOTHER feral cat chasing adventure under the shed!!! The barricade we built around the shed was no match for two determined, marshmallow cheeked, fluff butts! 🤦🏼♀️
We chased a feral cat under the shed right after being bathed. So much barking! So much chaos! So much fun! We were punished with a second bath. Totally worth it! Love, Betsy and Baxter
Who, me? Do you really think i would p*e on your box of watercolor practice sketches and paint swatches??? I can’t believe you’d accuse me of such a thing! I’ll just wait here for a spoonful of apology peanut butter. Love, Baxter
Nurse Betsy, reporting for duty! My Mommy had oral surgery this morning and she broke her toe yesterday. I have not left her side because my snuggles are the best medicine ever!
Happy 1st Day of Summer from these sweet, smiling Spaniels!
Happy 12th Birthday, Ginger!!!
Weekend Mode: Activated!
Happy 6th Birthday Baxter! You are the most amazing, sweet, beautiful, loving, sensitive, snuggly, playful, perfect, co-dependent best friend a girl could ever hope for!
I need to get up and do things but that would obviously violate the rule that all Cav Pawrents know: Humans are not allowed to end a Snug Sesh. Only a Cav has the authority to do so.
Happy First Day of Spring! Based on a photo by on Instagram.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!! May your troubles be less and your blessings be more and nothing but happiness come through your door!
Yesterday was Betsy Biscuit’s Gotcha Day! The Tiny Queen has been ruling our Tiny Kingdom for 4 years!!!

This is how Baxter and Betsy act when I leave the house to go do errands. Sound up! And please excuse the "nose art" on my French doors!
Just practicing my pirouettes in my new pink tutu. I'm thinking I should audition for the lead in Swan Lake! XOXO, Betsy
Do I have a future as a ballerina? XOXO, Betsy (P.S. Sorry the video is blurry. It's perfectly clear on Instagram, my phone and my computer and I've tried multiple times to post and repost to Facebook but it always ends up a bit blurry. But I thought it was too cute to not share!)
Baxter also gets a wee bit excited when it's time to go for WALKIES!!!
Baxter gets just a wee bit excited at mealtime!
Baxter's Meltdown Part 2: I really don't think his separation anxiety was this bad when Emma was still alive. But I pretty much feel the same way that Baxter does when we're not together!!!
I don't know whether I should laugh or cry! This is how Baxter acts when I'm not home! His Daddy was home with him but he has a total meltdown when I'm not home! He's such a momma's boy!
