Brindle On the Road

In the last eight months or so the Brindle has been in four different countries on two different continents. He's been on an airplane and came through like a trooper.

His most recent trip we made the big drive from Ontario down to Florida and even though he's not a big fan of the car he once again proved what a good boy he is.

He asked that I share some of his trip.

We left on Hallowe'en.

Things We Do - Yarn Edition

Today I'll follow up with the theme of hobbies that our beasties get involved in, intentionally or not. This time it's our own infamous Brindle who has often helped me out with photo sessions involving my knitting.

I'd like to include a shout out to one of my favourite independent yarn dyers. The second photo is of a yarn from Haldecraft HandDyed and it's maker creates some of the most glorious colours you could ever imagine.

Not thrilled to be modelling.
Mama always says don't touch the yarn.

Getting better at modelling.
This one was for our little German friend.

Photobombing.

BML Family

I recently had a request from a BML member who was having problems sending to the list. The problem turned out to take a little longer to troubleshoot than normal so I ended up forwarding his request to the list. As always the BML stepped up.

At issue was that he was looking for assistance on locating wheels for his Ms Zoee, an 11 year old white Boxer who is suffering from weakness in her back end. This is something that is more common than we would like so the knowledge, and help, is out there.

He was able to come up with a plan and in thanks sent along some photos of Ms Zoee, Kody and baby Maggie. He tells me the photos of Zoee were the hardest to get because she sticks so close to his side he can't take the photo.

At the end is a short video of Ms Zoee and as her "dad" says "you can't tell me she doesn't have gumption and grit".
