The Great Flying Nemo (in socks)

ATTN TO ALL CLOTHES ON ANIMALS HATERS:

THIS IS NOT ANIMAL CRUELTY!! OUR VETERINARIAN ORDERED THAT NEMO (OUR YORKIE) WEAR SOCKS TO KEEP HIM FROM CHEWING ON HIS FEET DUE TO HIS SEVERE ALLERGIES. THE AFOREMENTIONED VET SAYS THIS WILL KEEP HIS ALLERGIES DOWN AND ALSO KEEP HIM FROM HAVING SEVERE STOMACH TROUBLES IN THE FUTURE. ( so blame the vet)

That said... our vet has urged us for years to get shoes and socks for our little guy. Even with his customized allergy shots little guy had stomach troubles due to licking feet very badly early this Spring. The shoes & socks are now in house and we are trying. Socks first! We followed the following process:

First must find dog in playful mood. Second put socks on all FOUR feet of squirming dog. Third, place dog on floor and watch him stand oddly, while staring at you like "what did I do to you?" A little sock adjustment (see image A.) Finally, throw toy and pray dog will begin to move.

SUCCESS!!! (see image B)

Repeat process, including periodical sock adjustments and then............

VOILA.........Jumping, leaping and fetching will commence :) Dog is happy and humans are shocked!! (see image C)

The only hitch to the process is dog will not sit on butt, seems to be some weird things on feet and dog will not sit on foreign objects. This results in a very odd sitting position where front end sits and back end attempts to go down like a slow, unsteady elderly person with a broken hip.

He's still adjusting. He'll walk around and play but won't sit on your lap or lay down without a great deal of encouragement. Wish us luck with the shoes, we've got to start sometime. Ugh

Get Well Yarn Bouquet

I made this with yarn donated by my friends for another friend who just had surgery yesterday. When you knit, there is no better gift than yarn. The container is also full of yarn, it's just hidden. Let's hope she likes it.

Happy Memorial Day

Happy Mother's Day, Mom!

My sister and I had a flour fight making Christmas cookies and we decided Mom looked too nice and neat.  We attacked her because we didn't want her to feel left out.  Aren't we great daughters? 

So to the best Mom in the World, with the best sense of humor, we wish you a Happy and FUN Mother's Day!  

  Your Loving Daughters!

Cake Making Day!

I spent all day making a cake for a friend of mine today.  I had a blast.  Took me all day though.  I started at noon and just finished up about 10pm.  I still need a lot more experience with cake making.  I didn't aim to be perfect, but I still obsessed over it.  I do have say that the chocolate buttercream I put underneath was really good.  I was sooo tempted to keep eating it, but figured licking the bowl would be enough.  So, without further ado, here it is in all it's glory (or not).....

One day I'll buy a real square pan so my edges won't be all rounded.    

I haven't been able to knit all day between the cake and the tree trimmers being here.   That's just really cool to watch.  They've made a mess but the tree is gettin' there.  They will finish up tomorrow morning.  I'm off to knit, later!

Ice Storm Damage 2009

Ice Storm 2009 - Jonesboro Arkansas

I thought I'd share some pictures of the Ice Storm that demolished our area. We were without power for

6 days. We ended up with one hole in the roof and barely any fence standing. Poor Nemo can barely

walk around the yard. It's covered in sticks and limbs. Hopefully our insurance man will return our calls 

soon and we can get back to normal around here. Hope everyone else survived the storm and has their 

power back by now. I know some in our area are not getting power back for about a month. This was 

one scary storm.

Good Morning World!

I hate mornings and usually only come by them because I haven't slept all night.  ugh ...I did try.  I really did.  But, I had to make a choice:  pain medicine to knock down the migraine or sleep.  guess which one I chose.......duh.  What do they put in that stuff!?!  Ok, I don't really care what's in it as long as it works.  I have, however,  been watching the ice accumulate outside.  Oddly enough the roads are still passable just slippery on the bridges and the grass.  Seriously, didn't know that grass could be so slippery.  Poor Nemo had issues getting his morning business finished.  I do have to say that walking bow legged like a duck was rather funny though.  Ice is so pretty.  I just want the big oak hanging over my house to please hang on to all of his branches this time.  The big oak is already gently hugging the house with his giant droopy arms.  

Let's hope he doesn't make a move for third base! 

I love my new "Let it Snow" flag.  Who knew it could freeze absolutely solid.  It looks hilarious when the wind blows.  It kinda Tilts instead of Flapping in the Wind because it has a nice coating of shiny new fallen, freezing rain.  Still wishin' for snow, tho'.  I guess ice will have to do for now.  I even prefer sleet to freezing rain, it doesn't get Mr. Oak Tree all weepy and affectionate toward my house.  Or I guess I should say:  Mr. Oak doesn't feel the weight of the World on his shoulders when it sleets.  

I'll keep ya updated on the crazy weather.  We're due for almost 2" of ice before this is all over.  At least Wednesday we're getting a dusting of snow to top of all the ice.  So would we call that the "Cake on the Icing"?  huh?

Why Grow Up!?!

I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toys-R-Us kid!!

Okay, maybe not Toys-R-Us, but I still don't wanna grow up.  A couple of months ago I added a little pink on the underside of my hair.  I swore to my mother I was done with crazy colors!  Therefore I got MORE PINK!!  I'm lovin' it!  So here are some lovely examples of my rebellious side.  It hides decently, I just parted it to show the  wildest parts ;)  Could you just ignore that extra chin I've grown in the pictures!  Please!  Gotta learn more about Photoshop, and Soon!
