Free to a good… no... free to a home. Any home.

Callie is telling you it is too dang cold in Ohio and she wants to move back to Georgia. Did I tell you it's been in the 70's and sunny? I've been wearing shorts and have had my windows open all week. What was that you were saying about being snowed in a few days ago? :p

tanza, I was telling the knitting shop owner a little bit about basenjis & how destructive they are & how I should have known better. She seriously gave me a look like "You are crazy!" while her mouth was saying "You are very nice." I really got a kick out of that.
Debra, yes, I know. I just can't seem to break the habit. This is also why I refuse to pay more than $2 for a pair of underwear that I know will last anywhere from 2 days to 6 months in my household.
And yodeldogs, yes, I've heard about the lovely weather in Georgia. From every friend I have down there. Multiple times. I think yall are trying to tell me something ;) -
Hmmm…I am thinking that Callie is the one that is related to Ivy, right? Goes back to Select dogs somewhere in there? Yeah...relentless...insufferable....brilliant in an evil way....sound right?
Everytime my sister visits, she brings her knitting bag, and sets in on the floor. And then she is amazed and aggrevated when the dogs get into her yarn...she has labs....

quercus, Haha she must be. She is out of Select's Lothlorien Elentari (out of Moses) co bred by Tracy & Becky I think.
Not to mention, her breeder Chris did some crazy "super puppy" thing with the pups during their early days that has created a litter that is too smart for their own good.
Its insanity with her some days. Lola just likes to chew on inappropriate things; you can tell there is no intent behind it other than chewing on something yummy. Callie just likes mischief, plain & simple. She likes to push limits & see just how much she can get away with before I notice. -
I suggest a big hook high on the wall to hang your knitting bag. Or return to synthetics!
Thanks for a funny (not to you) story. You will laugh about it…some day.After Nicky destroyed the THIRD pair of my glasses, I started keeping them in a kitchen cabinet. I was the one who left them on a table, within her reach. She was just a dog who loves the crunch of expensive plastic. My bad.

Been there. My dogs tangled and chewed up two balls of sock yarn and a skein of alpaca!! I have to be very careful when I bring yarn into the house. Spencer is very sneaky and will try to get it even when it is far back from the edge of the counter!! One time he had so much of it wrapped around himself that I had to cut him out of it!! I only knit on my lunch break at work now…..

i store most of my wool in Sterilite containers gotten from Target. Of course my basenjis are usually pretty good about leaving the wool sculptures. It's the toys that belong to the wool dogs that Zest likes to steal. Tiny, tiny 1/2 inch balls and the like.
-
Of course the whole time I'm frustrated with her, I'm also trying not to laugh. And I also have to keep telling myself "I'm the slow learner… this is MY fault. This is not her fault. Its mine. Mine only."
But alas, I am less easily trained than they are ;)And I posted a picture of the yarn destruction on the first page I think...
-
While it has been warm (neighbor was SUNBATHING SATURDAY!)… don't move down. Give me colder winters and keep the humidity please. And the tornadoes and fire ants.

My B's don't care what the yarn is made of. If Momma is crocheting, she had better keep only the ball of yarn being used and the others in a closed & latched top box. I did get a neat thing for Christmas. It holds up to 8 rolls of yarn, each strand comes up thru a hole in the top, eight holes on top. I have not started a crocheting project since I received it, but am interested in how the Bs will try to get the yarn out of it. I have lost count of the number of skeins of yarn that I have had to rewind into usable balls, with lots of tie offs to reconnect the yarn. You just have to laugh.
