Sock of the week and a tired dog

Dear Mom,
A few days late, but the sock of the week, #11, was finished last night while watching New Moon with The Young Lady.
I started sock #12, and if I don't allow myself to be distracted by other knitting or spinning, I should be able to finish it by Wednesday and be back on my self-imposed schedule.



On Friday afternoon, Bumper, Patsy and I met CarolWhoseHouseGotStruckbyLightning and her dog Fergus for a play date.


The goal was to wear this one out.

It worked. A few hours later, this is how I found Patsy asleep on the couch.

You will notice that the couch is now covered in a quilt. I have given up trying to keep it free of dog hair and now have a variety of quilts that I can swap out and are much easier to wash. Before you hyper-ventilate, these are store bought quilts. Not hand pieced and quilted. 

It didn't take long for her to fully recharge.
Love,
Kim

p.s. We used Golda's Enormous Egg in our waffle mix this morning.






No Golden nugget.

We have a bunch of spoiled dogs going on around here. Fergus sleeps on a store bought quilt also! He was a tired playmate on Friday night. Put himself to bed around 7:30. Bumper and Patsy were fun to run with. Bumper did more standing and watching but did walk around the yard. The picture of Patsy sleeping with her head on the couch is priceless!!! More play dates to tire her out are in order.

Oh, how sweet they can be when they are sleeping! She's certainly getting to be a big girl.

I too wanted to comment how much I love this blog. Your writing style and humor make my day. Truely! The sleeping dog photo for sure needs to be in a photo contest.
