Clean hand knit socks waiting to dry. Now that’s what I’m talking about. I used the last of the hand knits while I was in the hospital, so it was a long time coming. I seriously need to make more socks.
No, they’re not being tossed in the dryer. I use the rack for the special ones and hang the rest or steal the heating vents from the dog and cat.
Speaking of socks… I finished a pair. It was so cold and my arm was hurting so much that I dug out the IF machine and slapped it on yesterday. I could knit! I need to remember that. Now if I could use it while using a computer.
And speaking of cold… can y’all take it back? Please?
Besides the weird OCD cleaning thing I’ve developed in my old age, that right there is why I have to clean so often. Katie swiped a bag from the trash and Daisy has decided that it is her mission in this world to destroy any toy that looks like a squirrel. O.o
The froggy? She loves the froggy.
I’ve been considering finding her a home since she is still young and some days I just don’t have the energy to give her what she really needs. But then she pulls out these wonderful, well behaved days. There is a kid in the neighborhood that is always looking for odd jobs. He’s a good kid and two neighbors have vouched for him and I’m thinking of hiring him to walk her on days I can’t or it’s just too effin’ cold. She does love her walks and I enjoy doing them with her and it burns off all of that puppy energy.
On the other hand, there’s a rescue group that takes dogs just like her and train them to be explosive and search and rescue dogs. I’m still contemplating having them come over to evaluate her because she’s a smart dog and I know she’d have a ball with the training.
Anyway… enough rambling.
Happy Friday y’all!

Do you need more socks?
Get them to come look at her. It’s not like you have to hand her over. Just let them met her and see what they think.
Oh, and vacuum that floor please. o.0

Squirrels are evil, so I’m with Daisy.
Love the eye candy with all the pretty colors.
Yay for the IF machine.
I’m not sure we have room for more cold but you could try sending it up.

In the summer she will have a fantastic time playing fetch off the dock…

I agree with Cookie. About the dog, not the floor. Well, OK, that too. But anyway, if Daisy’s a good match for the training, she might be a lot happier “working”, and you wouldn’t have to worry about not having the energy to give her the walks and attention she needs.

I think they should see her, train her, you get to keep her and loan her out. Also hire the neighborhood boy to walk her the days you can’t. Win-win for you and Daisy!

Not finished until “WE” see them

Carleton said it was wicked cold down your way. My poor niece and nephew had school even though the heat was mostly out and it was what, 18 today there? It was in the 30’s here with sun. I’ll send you some warmer if you send me some cleaning mojo, fair trade? (Okay, it’s not “warm” here but it’s warmer than where you are which is just plain stupid)

Yep, hire the kid and get the dog an interview. Either that, or teach the dog to knit socks…
