Temporary ParalysisSeptember 29, 2006 Another rambling mish-mash... |

Why is Daddy on the stairs? This is not normal! I'm going to sniff his head to see if he's hurt. Okay, good. I'll sniff his knee. Chris was flat on the stairs because I was troubling him with a difficult and profound question. The question: Where do you want to go to dinner tonight? He can make huge decisions every day at work, but this decision is usually best if left to me. The question was so troubling that he was unable to move for several seconds. |
 |
Once Chris was relieved of his temporary paralysis, he went upstairs to change clothes for dinner, and the dogs stayed put. The dynamics here are funny...both Ike and Lou desperately want to come close to me at the bottom of the stairs, but Gus (Supreme Chief Ruler Alpha) won't let them pass. They fear and respect The Alpha. |

Gus was really enjoying this powerplay. He took a moment to casually lick the wall. Oh, and we ended up going out for Italian, at my suggestion. |

Yoo hoo! Yarn in the mail! Christina from the podcast Knitty D and the City recently had a de-stashing eBay sale. I won this lot of Dale of Norway (swoon) Stork yarn. It's 100% cotton, and ready to be knit into more bibs. |

The sari silk wrap is starting to make sense...I can see where a person's head might go now. Trusting the pattern writer is actually a safe thing to do with this pattern. |

I've put some time recently into updating my knitting journal. I hate it when I slack on it, because I forget what needle size I used or even the month I knit the thing. I finally caught up. I like to include as much info as possible, and include the ball band, a yarn sample, as well as any Thank You card I might get from the recipient. Note: Ike was the model in this photo, not the recipient of the scarf. Keeping track of my knitting this way is really good for learning from mistakes, and improving on things that turned out well. |

Today is Big Surgery Day for Gus. Chris is convinced that when the doctor cuts into Gus' face, they are going to find Gus' fully-formed, tiny, conjoined littermate in there. This is how that might look if his fully-formed tiny littermate was made of bronze. |
 |
I'm always nervous about leaving any of my dogs in the care of people who are unaccustomed to Basenjis and their wicked ways, so I made this sign to hang on his crate at the vet. He will have to be there all day for observation after his morning surgery. Good luck, Gus! Good bye, zit! |
