DOG FIGHT

Man, I was in a dog fight ... kind of !! My Mom was taking me on our daily walk down the hill. Well, I knew that two boxers had moved in ... I could smell their scent. All of a sudden two very big boxers charged down the hill. The female came close. She wanted to play. The male boxer went back to the house. OK!! New Friends, or so I thought.

On the way back up the hill the big male boxer was waiting. He was huffin' and puffin' up a storm. My Mom (being the yuppie that she is) had her cell phone in hand and me being the stubborn Scottie that I am, would not come to her and suddenly we were all twisted in the leash with the big boxer trying to get me/smell me/eat me/play with me/ etc. etc. My Mom had on a skirt which added to the confusion as she was yelling and swinging her arms and trying to grab me up. The boxers owners ran out and immediately the big dogs went to the house. Not me ... I was ready to charge up their hill and investigate them out more thoroughly. Never mind the fact that I had just about got my head bit off!!

Hummm this little adventure is now going to change my daily walks up and down the big hill. Where is a pup to go? Think I will go help my Mom knit ... that should settle her nerves!!

I had to stay at home :(

My Mom and Dad went on a week trip driving the Blue Ridge Parkway. Unfortunately, most (all) places of rest do not want 4 legged babies....bummer for me. So, I had to stay home and be babied by Aunt Sherry who faithfully visits me, walks me, feeds and waters me and LOVES me!! Thanks Aunt Sherry.

And would you believe, my Mom bought yarn ... yes bought yarn!! After she faithfully promised in the last blog to straighten up her act and finish a project before she bought anything. According to Dad she needs to finish about 30 projects before she buys yarn. I just want her to start knitting so I can curl up on the sofa with her. I love to cuddle and remember, I have a week of cuddling to make up!!!

Where Have We Been???

Goodness ... July 31st!! 44 days since we have posted!!! I'm ashamed :(

Well, we have basically not been anywhere!! Work ... work ... work!! Fonzie has a big job of overseeing not one but two very lazy cats. He has to define the limits of comfortable living in the pet area. This includes but is not limited to: who eats first, who enters and exits the pet door, who touches his toys, who gets to hang their head through the railing around the deck, and who gets to sleep by the front gate. He is just SO busy.

Oh my gosh!!! We spent all of last weekend cleaning up the craft room. It looks so good ...now!! Fonzie's owner seems to have a fetish for items stored in bags and boxes of all kinds. There were at least 15 paper, cloth and plastic containers each with not one but two and sometimes three knitting projects in each. No rhyme or reason. Just stash and projects hurriedly crammed in a container/bag so something else could be grabbed up. We found at least 15 started and no where close to being finished projects. So, Fonzie's owner can not buy any yarn/book/supplies until one old project is complete :(

The current project that is being carried about is another Fiona shawl for a good friend. Haven't decided what will be finished next. Just one project at a time, just one project at a ........
