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.

Your post made me laugh and read it out loud to my partner, but it made me tear up too.

W.I.P

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?

Knitter Down...I Repeat, We Have a Knitter Down...

It's probably not that dramatic, well maybe it is, who can say for sure....but I can say this, right now from my elbow to my wrist is some gnarly pain that was flared last night after knitting 6 rows of the Shawl...SIX ROWS and then WHAMMO! so much pain. This isn't the first day I've had this, I've actually been ignoring for a few days ...okay, I've been ignoring it for a couple weeks but this is the worst it's been...So, I've made inquiries as to which doctor to see and am waiting to hear back to make an appointment...while I wait ice packs, and copious amounts of pain meds (don't worry by copius I really mean, recommended daily dose) are being taken with the shedding of a few tears while I fondle my knitting... stay tuned...this can't possibly last forever xoxoxo c. p.s. Fati...don't worry I have a plan if this whole wrist issues blows out of control...

The countdown...

The Elbow has taken things a little to far. After three cortisone shots, icing, and squeezing exercises, it's just not behaving... Tuesday I went into the MRI tube do the Doc H. Could get a good look at what's going on...wear and tear is what's going on and it's only getting worse.. I can keep getting shots of cortisone but eventually they'll stop being as effective. Surgery will be the best option. That's right. SURGERY Wanna know the worst part? Recovery can take up to five months Five Months 5 FIVE months of no knitting... . . . I'll give you a second to get up off the floor... . . . You read that again didn't you? . . . my friend MzKimba has graciously offered to take care of my stash. However I think I'll just pack it all up and store it somewhere safe till I get the all clear from Doc H. Now all this being said, I have projects that need to be completed, so I'm going to try and schedule the surgery for som
