This Dude is 11 Today... That's 77 in dog years (this is a dog love post so avert your eyes if you don't love your dog)


It's hard to believe that he's 11 already.
He still behaves like he's two with the exception that he sleeps a little more than he used to.
He was just over a year when we brought him home.

He's my boy.
I love him so much.
He makes me happy when I'm sad.
He makes me laugh whether I want to or not.

He hates having his picture taken.
He loves to steal and eat cake.

He loves to eat paper.
He hates turkey basters full of hydrogen peroxide (this happens when he eats too many cupcakes or too much paper)

He loves his Veterinarian.

He hates Bitter Apple, he'll bark at whatever object you've sprayed it with. Especially if he wants to lick it. We used to spray it on my brother in laws legs since Mr. Brown would lick them like a popsicle.

He loves to play with puppies and look out the windows.

He gets loungey on car rides.

I taught him how to eat off a fork, a habit that D is less than proud of.


Loud noises in the kitchen scare him but if you're trying to sneak something out of the fridge at 2:00 a.m. he is as stealthy as a cat and will be standing right behind you waiting for his share.

He knows that when D is at work on Saturday mornings that he's allowed in bed to snuggle with me.
If you read a list of foods that are harmful to dogs, It's a sure bet he's eaten and enjoyed most of them.

If D is drinking a glass of whiskey, Mr. B will sit there and stare at him till he dips his finger in and gives him a lick.

He'll also suck the foam off your Guinness if you aren't looking...
heck he'll do it even if you are looking.

He's brought so much love and laughter to our home.

He'll take you to the floor if you come in with a Pumpkin Spice Latte.

He loves to be spanked and hates having his nose flicked...

guess how we discipline him?

Happy Birthday Old Man.

You're getting a Happy Meal tonight to share with your sister...
p.s. I get the toy.

SSYC... My First Official Yarn Crawl...

It's true... I've never actually participated in a yarn crawl or LYS tour. When I worked at So Much Yarn I had the pleasure of working the weekend of the LYS Tour but I've never done it. Well, the SSYC, South Sound Yarn Crawl covers 9 shops that aren't included for whatever reason in the Seattle LYS Tour that covers around 25 shops in the area. Maybe they're too far off the beaten path. It's not because they aren't in Seattle because there are shops way way way out of town that are included in the Seattle LYS tour. Whatever the reason, it's not important. What is important is that Mary and I both took Friday off and hit the road. I caught the 7:15 Ferry to Kingston, Arrived at Mary's about 8:00. Mary and I have the same china. Mine came from my Grandmother, her's came from her mom. Tried making friends with her fluffy dog Mae. Someday she'll come to love me, for now I'll respect her tenative personality and love her fro...

Remembering...

I don't know what karmic cosmic angels were flitting around today but they led me to the coffee aisle at the grocery store. More specifically it led me to the international moments. Which led me to thoughts of my grandmother. I loved her. I knew deep in my bones that she loved me. Grandma loved her International Moments coffees. Just smelling them. Holding the tin (though it's different now) Brings back memories of being with my grandma. She said these were her special treat and she'd make one for me to. Grandma made the best fresh blackberry pie. I know they were fresh because when she came to visit us in Bellevue she'd make us help her pick blackberries. She was the master of Christmas cookies, chocolate chip cookies and raspberry freezer jam. I make freezer jam from time to time and it reminds me of summer visits to Boise. Helping grandma in her garden, making sun tea, and smelling her roses. Sometimes, I buy a tin of Interna...
