Year In Pictures - Week 15

99:365 - If Only

YIP1 - 99:365 - If Only

12/13/2009 - I found this little gem packed away with our Christmas decorations. This is a JuJu doll, lovingly made by my friend Ang. He now has a permanent spot on the coat rack. He makes me smile every time I walk by. I love him!

12/14/2009 - Winter just keeps coming. Freezing rain overnight left a layer of ice on the snow. Yak-Trax and pet-friendly salt have be come a necessity.

101:365 - Not for Christmas

YIP1 - 101:365 - Not for Christmas

12/16/2009 - I bought jingle bells, but not for Christmas! Now that winter has settled in the dogs have not been behaving - I wouldn't want to go outside either. We need a way for them to tell us it is time to go outside. I could have paid $20 for jingle bells on a loop from the pet store but this option cost me under $4 for 2 sets. Now I just need to Sparky to stop being afraid of the bells ringing and teach him to ring them on his own!

102:365 - Block but don't show

12/16/2009 - I've been knitting some very awesome things right now and just blocked a bunch of them tonight. I can't show anything because they are all gifts but I'm SO excited about these projects!

103:365 - Too Many Ends

YIP1 - 103:365 - Too Many Ends

12/17/2009 - Another knitting project that I can't show as it is a gift...but this one has SO many ends on it. It took me nearly two hours to get them all woven in when I finished the project.

104:365 - A Year in Puppies

YIP1 - 104:365 - A Year in Puppies

12/18/2009 - I couldn't resist ordering a 2010 calendar that features a picture of our pups for each month. It was fun picking out 12 pictures of our crazy dogs that we can enjoy each month.

105:365 - Looking Daper

YIP1 - 105:365 - Looking Daper

12/19/2009 - When poor Sparky sits staring at me shivering I put his sweater on him. He doesn't like it and sometimes does some silly things with it but I tell myself that he does like wearing it and I sure think he looks extra cute. Of course I had to tempt him with a treat to make him sit long enough for a picture!

Total # of Pictures Taken this Week: 96

Wow! So your dogs actually ring a bell when it's time to go outside? I didn't know dogs could be trained so well.

Great pictures like always!

I had forgotten about the JuJu dolls! Thanks for reminding me! :)

Curious to see your knitting projects and to find out if the jingle bells do work.

Stay on your feet!
