Happily Ever After




Meet Phoebe


Phoebe is the newest member of our family. 
I know I said I was going to wait before bringing a new Boxer home, but I then I looked on the Washington Boxer Rescue Site 
I saw Phoebe 
I read Phoebes story 
I knew we had to at least give her a try. 
Two days after we brought her home for the trial run we knew. 
We knew deep in our hearts that this girl belonged with us and that we would be her forever home. 
 
 Phoebe is a 6 year old reverse brindle boxer girl. 
She had a very bad beginning the first two years of her life. 
The last four years she's been with Washington Boxer Rescue learning that not all humans are horrible, that not everyone wants to hurt her, and that it's okay to accept and give love. 

She continues to learn that in our home. 


She's learning that we aren't going to take the toys away. 
That Mr. Brown couldn't give two rips about the babies. 
They are learning to do things together. 
 

She loves Gabby's toy basket. 
She loves flushing birds from the bushes and then chasing them. 
Squirrels are fair game as well. 
As many dog beds as we have in the house they are not squishy or soft enough for this sweet thing, she prefers the sofa, on top of a merino, alpaca, throw. 
 

She doesn't want people to touch her feet, but she will put her foot in your hand, but don't touch it, just let it rest there. 
 

 She is so sweet. So full of energy. So very curious like all the boxers we've had. 



We are so glad that we are able to give her a forever home that even though her beginnings were horrible, the rest of her life will be 'Happily Ever After' 
No stress, no pain, no fear, no more broken toes, no more angry grabs. 
All she has to do is rest, play, eat kibble, snuggle with babies, and live the life of leisure that boxers enjoy. 


Welcome home sweet girl. 
The adventure begins again.

Oh my goodness... you were both missing something - Phoebe a home and you a special empty place in your heart. Mr Quintus Brown now has a sister and you and Dale now have a new furkid, absolutely heartwarming♥ After over 4 years in rescue, Phoebe now has a forever home and years of making new memories. I am so grateful you all found each other♥ Blessings abundant, Terrie

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
