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...

Spring Cleaning = no VK Live

I don't get a cleaning bug often. I truly dislike it. I would rather knit than scrub a toilet or polish something... But it happens that I get the urge to purge (too much listening to the Top Gun soundtrack this weekend) and when the momentum is high and lasts three days I won't fight it... I can't. Plus I probably saved at least $250.00 by not going to a knitting expo! Have you ever done a big ruthless purge on your stuff? You can learn a lot about who you are or who you have been... 1. I apparently have an affection for lined notebooks and notepads considering I've counted 17 in my living room alone. 2. I easily have 50+ knitting books on my shelf and have only knit one pattern from one of them. 3. 2011 I was a grumpy snot at Christmas. So grumpy I didn't even open any Christmas cards. I didn't thrown them out either apparently... I'll open them later today. 4. My sister-in-law M gives me some pretty awesome gifts. Funny notebooks (o...

quirks, questions, and things best remembered......

1. Two bads never ever equal a better. 2. Muffins or Cupcakes I will always eat the top last. D thought it would be funny one time to teach me a lesson regarding this little nuance of my behavior, so at a party he sees my cupcake top sitting on my plate and he walks by and quick stuffs it in his mouth. He said it was to teach me a lesson, but I think we all know who learned a lesson that night. 3. While it is always to have good oral hygiene habits for both man and beast alike I would like to strongly caution you against keeping the beasts tooth paste next to your own toothpaste. Trust me when I say the beast will get much more enjoyment from your toothpaste gracing his brushes bristles than you will trying to do a massive mouthwash flush of poultry flavored peppermint paste. Learn from my mistake...... 4. I always feel sorry for people who I either happen to be talking to or emailing at the moment my medication kicks in. It can't be fun, but you all are such good sports about it. ...
