Casey was Sick But Now He's on the Mend

Back on July 10th late in the night Casey gave us a scare that landed him in the ER for 24 hours. His stomach twisted, a common medical condition among Weimaraners. Since I knew it was something that could happen at any time I was aware of the signs and we got him to the doctor as soon as we could. A very scary night but he's been recovering nicely, pretty much back to himself except he weighs a few pounds less.
This photo was taken the day after he retured from the pet hospital. Even though it's been 2 months, we can still see where he's been shaved. Apparently his hair is very slow growing.

Oh My

I am still here! We've been busy with a giant project but I hope to be back to a normal routine very soon.
The puppies say hello!!

My Boy is 11 Today!

Today we celebrated Casey's 11th birthday. We started out baking some dog biscuits for the neighborhood dogs.

Packaged them up really nice.

Opened presents.
And then headed outside for a walk. I think Casey enjoyed his day :)

Happy Holidays! / Puppy Madness!

I've been neglecting my blog lately and for that I apologize. I must have needed a break. This holiday break has been very laid back, I was sick to begin with so now I've just been relaxing, catching up on things and spending time with the puppies. Yes, I said puppies.

Back on December 6th, Kyle rescued a Boxer from a friend of a friend from heading to the dog pound. We had good intentions of being a transition home for her until someone could take her full time. Kyle fell in love with her in .05 seconds, it took me about 3 seconds and Casey warmed up to her in about 10 minutes (give or take a few days). They still aren't cuddle buddies or anything but each day they surprise us.
Her name is Flea (the name is growing on me) and she's somewhere in the 5 year old range. She is very well behaved and loves attention.

We did some dog sitting for our neighbor the week of the 15th. Shadow is a 1 year old Boston Terrier and the sweetest little cuddle bug. He wasn't too fond of the little santa suit I put him in though.
So other than all of this there hasn't been much going on here. Happy Holidays to you!

Casey Blue

I think I caught Casey mid-yawn here but it certainly looks like he's screaming or just plain fed up with my antics.

Only 1 week to go in the blog-birthday giveaway! All you have to do is comment to be entered in the drawing.

Fun on Friday

Cutting apart fabric only to sew it back together again :)

Casey loves to stare out the window at squirrels while I hang out in the craft room. It was a lovely day so we didn't spend all day indoors.

Looking Ahead

After the work day today I'm looking forward to a 3 day weekend which will be spent mostly at the sewing machine. I'll toss a little knitting in there too.

Wobbly Casey

I've been on the verge of finishing up my wobbly tote bag this weekend. When I pulled the 1st side of the bag out from hibernation I couldn't resist placing it onto Casey like a coat. He didn't seem to mind. I have a couple of questions about the construction of the bag, have any of you made this project?

The Things I Make My Dog Do...

Recently I knit Casey a party hat...

The photo shoot didn't go so well. This isn't really the pose I had in mind for the project I'm doing so we'll have to try again. He only keeps the hat on for about 3 seconds before pulling it off with his paw, which is cute in and of itself.
If you've been reading my blog since the beginning you may remember the original doggie party hat.
If you're on Ravelry you can see the details here.
