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

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...
