Winter Wonderland
December 16, 2005 06:18 PM
A winter walk at the Medina Reservoir. Katy is looking at her frisbee. She wants me to stop taking pictures and throw the frisbee...NOW! This is about all I see of Ellie at the park. Her average speed is about 20mph and trying to get a "portrait" type picture of... more -»

I like a project I can finish...
November 30, 2005 10:40 PM
in just a few hours. This is the little sweater from the Weekend Knitting book (Here's free online pattern). I don't have any eggs that need to be cosy right now, but knitting up this little sweater has been itching at the back of my mind ever since I saw... more -»

Pasta Zen
November 14, 2005 10:10 PM
Wow. Can you say, "fast service". I ordered several skeins of Jamieson's DK yarn from Two Swans Yarn and it was at my doorstop in no time flat. I think I placed my order on Thursday and the yarn was waiting for me on Saturday. I bought a couple different... more -»

Oh, the doggies sure do love their edamame! (though popping them out of the shells is much more fun than the pre-shelled beans we had last night)... more -»

Letters from the dog
October 13, 2005 11:01 PM
Letters from Rosie. So cute. And since we're on the subject of dogs... Ellie in her crate during a class we attended this summer. (Ellie's eyeliner is really something - perhaps her nickname should be Harriet?) Ellie's friend Pippin. My good friend's dog, Woody. Woody is an excellent agility dog... more -»

Watch!
August 9, 2005 10:31 PM
Ellie has really good eye contact. I have a pile of emails to answer and I'm not likely to get to them anytime soon! I'm swamped in the upcoming two weeks and may not be online very often. Don't worry, though. I will get back in touch!... more -»

Sheep + Katy = True Love
May 7, 2005 10:53 PM
The Introduction to Herding Clinic was so much fun. Katy got to sniff her first sheep today and then spend two sessions working them. She did very nicely. She tried to bite the sheep a couple of times, but all in all she moved them quite well. And the joy... more -»

Fiber. Dogs.
May 5, 2005 08:17 PM
Some beautifully dyed fiber that I bought over at Hello Yarn. I love the way the colors of the fiber look beside the hostas. Katy, doing her best to reek havoc in my backyard. After digging the dirt out of this planter, she proceeded to go and dig the... more -»

BARF
March 14, 2005 08:39 PM
No knitting today. This entry is about dogs and raw meat, so you may want to skip the next couple of paragraphs. I've started to move my dogs over to a raw diet. They've been eating really good dog food up until now, but the more I read about... more -»

Granola and Kitty
February 17, 2005 09:17 PM
Have you ever had one of those food experiences which seem almost impossible to duplicate? I had one at a little restaurant in Hyannis, MA about four years ago. We stopped for breakfast and had the most delicious granola that I've ever tasted. This granola has haunted me since... more -»

Yarn and a Sepia Katy
February 11, 2005 05:43 AM
I bought this yarn from one of my favorite ebay sellers, bizyhands. This is different than her usual yarn. The colors are muted and the wool is coarse, rustic and only lightly processed. I really like it. Maybe some more mittens or some gloves? Cara asked me if I... more -»

Puppy of the Week
January 24, 2005 11:12 PM
The puppy. She's delightful. Smart. Playful. Almost five months old. I believe that her paws are made out of flubber. She is very bouncy. Update: Ellie!... more -»

Short Vacation Story
October 20, 2004 11:21 AM
Serenity. Well, it was serene until... My vacation was spent on Martha's Vineyard. It's a wonderful place to visit in October - quiet and lightly populated. All of the beaches are open to anyone* and if you like to shop there are lots of great sales as the shops... more -»

Back from Vacation
October 19, 2004 10:40 AM
I got back from vacation last week and have been settling back in to my routine at home. My plan had included going to Rhinebeck, but I made a last minute decision not to attend. Spencer was scheduled for his second chemotherapy treatment (second treatment of the second type... more -»

Dog Day Afternoon
August 23, 2004 10:10 PM
I'm not sure how crazy a city's recreation department must be to invite dogs to the pool, but we don't care because it was a ton of fun! Spencer was not convinced that diving in would be a good thing. Katy is wondering why they let a spotted horse... more -»

Delaying Tactics
August 16, 2004 09:10 PM
I have some knitting and fiber-related stuff to share, but I haven't taken any pictures so I'm offering up a picture of Katy from last summer when she was still a little bit of a thing. The Ohio State Fair was pretty interesting. The only thing that I would... more -»

More Spencery-Goodness
February 23, 2004 09:15 PM
As promised, here is Spencer in all of his Mardi-Gras parading, love-bead-wearing goodness. As you can see, he is absolutely thrilled to be dressed in such a sharp outfit. Though he did not win any awards for his costume, he did leave the agility trial with ribbons and title-qualifying scores... more -»

Stupid, but funny
February 16, 2004 11:04 PM
I can't help but post this as pure silliness. I've seen lots of people post the funny search queries that point to their sites. I've seen some goofy ones for my site, but this one today just cracked me up. It's a google image search that someone did for deer... more -»

Happy New Year :: 2004
January 1, 2004 11:26 AM
I think 2004 is going to be a good year! Best wishes to everyone for a healthy, positive and productive year. A look back at one of the big changes I watched during 2003: New Year's Resolutions? I usually don't make them because the personal guilt of not keeping them... more -»

Pre-Drafting Services by Katy
December 29, 2003 10:30 PM
There really are fibery things going on around my house. I'm spinning up some New Zealand Merino wool that I purchased on ebay. It's only about 6.5 ounces (though it looks like more when it's spread out across the dining room and living room floor.) Katy was very thoughtful... more -»

The Smooch Graduates
December 17, 2003 10:24 PM
Tonight, Spencer graduated from his Beginner's One Agility Class. He's done really well, and has even been receiving compliments on his good behaviour outside of class. This is a big accomplishment as he's kind of an all or nothing guy when it comes to his allegiences and over the... more -»

Spencer and Katy
October 7, 2003 10:29 PM
I admit it. I have no kids, so I get to smother my nephews and my dogs with all of my affection. So, I ran across J.M. Dodd, very talented illustrator and hired her to create these drawings of the dogs. I love the drawings. If you are in... more -»

Here's the new puppy. Her name is Katy. She's a rescue pup - Australian Shepherd mix. Cute as can be - you should see her trying to herd the kitties. The kitties are about twice her size!... more -»
