Have a Happy Labor Day Weekend!

Hope you're having a great long weekend!

Sleepyheads hang out together on the couch...

Pogo pictures and a surprise from Mrs.Pao!

DeeDee is doing well with her eight babies. They don't have their eyes open yet but seeing all the pink paws wave in the air is very cute.

Pogo was trying to get away from Bunny puppy this morning and fell asleep in the magazine rack again - she barely fits now!

I've been doing some more painting and listing some more of my art on Ebay


Mark keeps both hands busy with Kelba and Pogo

Pogo: 'Ear Rub! Ahhh....'

'Fox Makes medicine' ACEO card

What a wonderful surprise was waiting for us at the post office today!
Thank you so much Mrs.Pao! I was very confused by the 'New York' address and wasn't sure I was reading the 'from' address right until I opened up the card ;) It's all so CUTE!

Equally cute sleepers and a baby shawl

Lots of bunnies and bears and stripes, how cute is that? Thank you from both of us! (well, all three actually)

Cuteness Overload

Double Snooze Time

Kelba says: That's just wrong, make it stop!

We've been busy almost since we touched foot back here after the flea market on Tuesday. We have three large stacks of vinyl LPs to catalog, categorize and post to Ebay, along with our regular activities. We're also looking into further expanding some of our technical abilities here in the office. I've been adding some rows onto the circular shawl, and of course there is lots of puppy training going on as well.

We're still deciding on a name for the pyr' - but she has shed most of her shyness and is trying to throw her 'weight' around with the pack, which has led to mostly laughter and some important puppy lessons about who you can and who you can't push around, even with fluffy cuteness and whimpers. For example, Misha, who is the kitten guardian extraordinaire - has told this puppy she is not mommy, but drill sargeant. She has taken a firm paw in telling this pup what she can and can't do. Which, considering this pup will grow to be as big as Abby was, is probably a good thing.

Btw: Jeanne asked how big our animal 'herd' is now:

---

We have three very-large dogs (about 100-120 lbs each - it had been four with Abby), four medium-size dogs (about 60-90 lbs each), and one 20 lb. dog that thinks she's a cat. Now, add on this puppy and that makes nine once again. There are also two cats, a kitten and a goat. Remember, this is almost a farm-like atmosphere, out in the country. The big dogs have a fenced-in yard where they can run with the goat.

Personally, I hardly notice there are this many 'critters' until dinnertime! :)

Chris Made Me Do It

All I have to say for myself is 'Chris made me do it.'


Kelba was the only one who fit.


MDK bib and small scrubbie dishcloth from the extra yarn.

I've cast on for my Morning Glory kneesocks as well, but it will be a while before they are photogenic.

We went to the flea market to sell yesterday morning, and made out pretty good. We were selling our bulk spices and also some computer surplus.


We are selling Ginger, Garlic, Paprika, Oregano and a Peppercorn Mix on Ebay and at our flea market booth.
I also picked up a few copies of the old magazine Workbasket from a vendor, and some Organic Gardening mags as well. The Workbaskets have some good knitting patterns including socks, a lace top and mittens.

Pogo Helps Out in the Office

Need help packing?

Or finding the right modem or printer cord?
Pogo's 'on the job' - helping us sort out cords, connectors and pack computer parts for shipping. At least, she thinks she's helping ;o) She also surprised me by learning how to climb up on the counter (via boxes and chairs) where Mouse's food dish is... all by herself now. We've had a busy week, and now there is a long rainy and cold weekend coming up.

I ordered two knitting books, Mason-Dixon Knitting and Stitch n' Bitch vol.1 They came in the mail the other day. I usually don't buy lots of knitting books, but there are patterns in these that I will use again and again. The yarn I ordered for the knee-high socks should be in next week, probably.


Kelba is quite embarrassed we caught her humoring the kitten the other night. Her eyes seem to say 'Please - don't tell anyone you saw this!'

Have a good Weekend!
