A Scarf for Gracie



A very sleepy Gracie



I've been working on knitting a scarf for our Whippet puppy, Gracie, and it's coming along very well. I am using a special kind of yarn, as you can see from the picture, but it's harder to use than you'd think. If it's not handled just so, it can get messy. The good part is, the fluffiness of the yarn covers up most of the mistakes. J Just kidding. It's really not looking so bad. I think Gracie will look nice in it. While she was sleeping yesterday, I measured her neck to see if the scarf would be long enough. She hardly noticed. J

It's only 10 days until Christmas . . . ooh! It's hard to believe that the holiday is so close. It seems like just my last post when I was talking about Thanksgiving . . . oh, wait, maybe it was! :)

Our new Whippet puppy, Gracie, is happily chewing on one of her toys as I write this. She is quite curious about everything, and seems to think it's her business to steal socks and then chew on them. She is so cute!

Lately, I've been working on memorizing the first sixteen lines of the Twas the Night Before Christmas poem in French. It's difficult---I've got ten lines down well but the rest are still evading me. I'll keep trying!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I’m pleased to say that it’s Thanksgiving once again. The snow had been on the ground here at the farm, but has melted considerably due to a welcomed warm-weather period.

I watched the National Dog Show on television today and was pleased that the Whippet made it to the finals in Best of Show. Since the arrival of our new Whippet puppy, I have fallen in love with the breed!

I wish you all a happy and peaceful day.

News from the Farm

I made some ponies happy this morning by offering sugar cubes. They were snatched up most delightedly.

It makes my day to make a pony's day!

 

I also have some exciting news. My family is looking for a new puppy! Among my favorite breeds are Pembroke Welsh Corgis, Dachshunds, Chihuahuas, Italian Greyhounds, and Whippets. Right now we are considering a female Whippet puppy, although we haven't found Little Miss Perfect yet. We'll keep trying! :)
