Phoebes Big Adventure Weekend...

It's been almost two years since we brought Phoebe into our lives.
She's changed so much.
Her people anxiety has lessened.
She loves D and will seek him out for attention.

She killed a bunny, but we won't talk about that here...

And last weekend we were invited out to a family cabin and were told Phoebe could come along.

Well you can imagine my anxiety at this venture.
She has rules and sometimes people think they know better than my rules.

Well that wasn't an issue.
I didn't make it a huge issue.
Phoebe shined like the rockstar she has become.

It was a weekend of firsts and discoveries.

1. Her first food truck and brewery all in one night.



2. Her first ferry boat ride. 
3. Her first time sleeping in a camping trailer.
4. Her first view of Mason Lake, and being the notoriously nosy/curious dogs that boxers are, this deck was right up her alley and then she discovered...
5. Her first Sun Lounger
 weekend snuggles at home will never be the same after last weekend. 
6. Her first Pontoon Boat ride

She did great.
She fell in love with our hosts husband.
She did not like going into the water. Showed a little concern when I did.
She loved chilling on the deck on the lounger every chance she got.

She crashed hard Sunday when we got home, I think both of us were asleep by 6:00 p.m.

Can't wait for more adventures with our sweet boxer girl.
Every adventure we have even if it's chasing critters in the yard has shaped her into the sweetest boxer girl.

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...

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?

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
