I'm back!

I can't believe its been so long since I've posted!  A lot has changed since my last post!  Unfortunately my dog Lena and my Guinea pig Frankenstein are no longer with us. 😢 I miss them both very much so I have 2 puppy mill rescue dogs that I adopted to keep me company.  One is a chihuahua named Fiona and the other is a dachshund named Gretchen.  They have very different personalities and I can tell they both had very different experiences being puppy mill breeding stock.

As you can see Gretchen loves attention especially from Daddy!  Fiona is very alert, skittish and doesn't like to be cuddled.  She will accept pets and scratches on her terms, poor baby, she seems afraid of most people and is very guarded.








I haven't done a lot of crafting lately but I've been feeling creative with rocks in my yard!  Yeah, I know how weird that sounds, but I saw some guy online balancing rocks in the most unbelievable ways so I had to try it!  It's very difficult but when you get one to balance in an unlikely way it is strangely satisfying, and very artsy which is totally my thing!  So far I'm only able to balance up to four.

There are four rocks balanced here and they stayed for quite some time until it got windy!



Here are a few more pictures of some I balanced.

Is it still winter?!

Well, Spring is about a week and a half away but with all the snow we have it feels like it will take forever to melt!  I have been busy with my guinea pig as he broke his front teeth off :/ How he did it I have no idea but he was miserable and unable to eat for a while.  He's doing better though and you can see that he is having a good time playing with my husband's dog!

He just loves her, I don't understand what it is but he chases the dog around and tries to get her to chase him back.  I'm not sure if it has to do with their coloring being the same or if my guinea pig is convinced he is a dog?

He is actually nibbling on this dog toy with her so maybe he does think he is a dog?

Well, here he is in his own little dog bed, I figured why fight it, right?
I just love critters, all kinds of critters and I'm especially a big sucker for a furry face!  Here's my dog, she is going to be 15 this year and she is probably one of the most spoiled dogs around!

And yes, I did knit that hooded sweater for her! LOL!

 

But how could I resist that adorable face?
