My Dog Sam

Have I ever mentioned how much I like Bloglines.com? It's a big time saver for me since I've become addicted to reading about everybody else's life every morning. lol

How many dogs do you suppose there are in the world that look alike? What are the chances that in one day I would run across 2 other dogs out there that look amazingly like my Sam? Well, I did. Lola lives with my new friend from Dish Rag Tag, Nicole, and the other is this lovely pup named Eli. It's a small world, even for animals! Give them some pets for me please.

Sam is my special needs dog. He has to eat prescription dog food of the fish and potato variety since he has allergies. He doesn't really have a lot going for him in the bravery, or intelligence depts but he looks good and is a great watch dog - if you're outside and he's inside. He loves me and he's a great fly catcher. After 6 years he almost has fetch mastered...sometimes. And how can you resist this face?
And doesn't he sit pretty? I never have figured out why he does this but it seems to be comfortable to him. He's not allowed on the couch so he just leans against it instead.
Hard to believe he only weighed 4 lbs when he came to live with us..

Awww, ain't he cute? Anyway, that's the scoop on Sam.

One of these days I'll tell you all about Max. She's the queen of this house.

And on the knitting front...I have yet another dish rag finished. Key Lime Pie is the color...love it! Wanna see?






Not such a good picture, let's try again...



At least in the second one you can see the color. Hey to the Lucky 13 Dish Rag Team!! I'm really excited to get started...

Toodles

Footies and Fido

Well, I forgot to put the pic of the footie in my last post, so, ta da!

Here we have the cuff and the heel flap...



And over there we have a bit more...


Maybe tomorrow it will be done? Or maybe not! I'm also frogging a pair of slacks I made a couple of weeks ago. [See yellow pants under the shell I posted last week] It sure is easier to sew all that fabric together than it is to take it apart. Even though I measured myself 65 times they were still too big when I got them finished and did I try them on before I put the yoke facing and the zipper in? hmmm?? Of course not...that would have made some sense and could have saved me hours of picking tiny little stitches out of delicate fabric that I can't get any more of. (taking a deep breath) Do you feel me? Aarrrgghhh!!! Lesson learned.

So I'll leave you with this adorable picture of my grand-dog, Buca (boo-ka). Isn't he a pretty boy? He's a Visla, the youngest in the household and is a trained therapy dog. This picture was taken at the local pet expo last year while he was acting as the spokes-dog for Shaggy Pines Dog Park. He lives with my son and DIL and two other dogs, Mina and Sol...I'll dig up some shots of them and get them posted soon.


Thanks for stopping by. Stop and say Hey if you have a sec...you can never have too much company.
