Wild and Wooly
My niece, Quetzl has her MACH in Agility.
Her nickname is the Princess.
Her highness visited with my sister and family this weekend.
This dog is on alert 24/7. She is a magnificent example of the working breed.
I was exhausted watching her.
My sister has a Gordon Setter too, Dashielle. Darling Dash as I call him takes life as it comes..on his own terms, and he's stubborn.
Between the two they weigh 140 lbs.
They swam in Lake Michigan.
At our house, Quetzl scared Rosalyn half to death.
There was a barking commotion, my sister yelling,
"SOMEone grab her collar" .
I grabbed Roz.
Everyone settled down.
Roz and Company remained in the locked basement safely until they left.
For all their training, they do lack a bit of HOUSE etiquette.
But hey, they are my sister's kids and I love her. My sister the veterinarian ….

Two little yorkies are looking good to me right now...
On our way to an " other side of the family" party yesterday, we passed a sign that said, "Lllama open house today"
Fireman gets a gold star, or a cold beer, for turning the truck around and letting me visit.
My goodness they are soft creatures.
One was making this soft purring kind of sound.
I was good; I did not buy alpaca.
When we got to the party I told Barb, my nephew's wife's mother (got that?) that I had to stop to see the Alpacas because I'm a knitter.
She said, very matter of factly,
"I know. I read your blog every day"
I threw my arms around this woman.
My own sisters dont read my blog …ever!
What?
I was so touched.
Barb is a doll. She is an ovarian cancer survivor.
When I was falling apart in 2006, she noticed, she cared and she reached out to me.
I better knit this woman something don't you think?
Was your weekend Wild and Wooly?

I don't know, a Yorkie? Chewy the Yorkie is a bit anxiety ridden and shakes a lot. Maybe it's her way to get people to hold her. The dog's feet never touch the ground! Scruffy's Eclair (Macy) advises getting a Jack Russell Terrier.
Now I am trying to make treats out of them. My one issue is that I am not big on cooked apples so I will make for others.
I enjoy reading your blog and Three Bags too.
Glad you had a chance to visit the adorable woolies.
Definitely knit that kind woman something warm and cuddly.
No one in my family reads my blog. If they do, they are pretty quiet about it.
And the Llama looks adorable, and I can imagine how soft his wool must be!
Yes, I think a knitted gift should be next on your list!!
