It's Boomer's Mom

Hi there,

Boomer is sleeping right now so I thought I would sneak in and post some pictures of the sweater I'm working on.

This is the back of the sweater. I'm currently working on the sleeves so I still have a ways to go, but I should be done with this part by the weekend. You can't tell from the pictures but there are little flecks of color worked into the yarn which gives it some depth.


Here's a close-up with the sleeves. I will be increasing every 6th row for the next 36 rows to create the sleeves. This is a very simple to follow pattern which is nice since this is my first sweater. I downloaded the pattern from Vogue Knitting. The site is currently under construction but you can still look at some of the cover designs and download those patterns.


Here is Turbo kitty with all his toys. He's all better now - he has gained back his weight and his fur looks nice and shiny again. We are all very thankful that Turbo is okay (yes, even the dogs!).


I also want to apologize for not visiting everyone's blogs lately. I have been really busy at work and sick as well so I'm quite tired when I get home and don't want to spend much time on the computer. I hope you all understand.

I have also noticed that Boom's blog hasn't had many comments lately. I hope that you are still enjoying it. If you have any suggestions for improvements please let me know.

Finally, I want to thank Jason with the Fleas Gang for figuring out the code for my American Brittany Rescue button on the left side of the page. I tried and tried but I couldn't get it to work and then Jason came to the rescue.

Blessings,
Carol

It's Been A Rough Few Days

Hello Everyone - this is Turbo Kitty,

Boomer was kind enough to let me post - I'm thinking it's because he pity's me. Like the title says, I have had a crappy week.

Mom and dad took me to the evil doctors to have my abscessed tooth worked on. Well that's what they said at least. The doctors gave me a nice little sleeping medicine which I don't understand why I needed that because I have no problems sleeping - why I can sleep up to 20 hours a day. I digress, the doctors give me this lovely medicine and when I woke up I had SIX freakin teeth removed. WTF?!

Not only that, I had a couple of adverse reaction to the anesthesia - I lost the use of my back legs for a while AND I lost my eye site! That just made my mom cry like a baby and even brought a tear to dad's eye. Dad NEVER cries so I have to remember to use this to my advantage.

I'm doing better today though, I can walk around okay, but the hardwood floors are hard to maneuver on. I have some site back but not a lot - my eyes are dilating just a little, which was better than it was on Friday when I came home.

The dogs are being very nice to me, and I really appreciate that. I suppose I will cut them some slack until I get better, then I'll show them who's boss. After all, I can't let them get away with their new found freedom from the kitty wrath!

I'm not really mad at mom and dad anymore, but I get very upset when it's time to take my medicine. My stomach medicine is suppose to taste like chicken but I think it tastes like, well - like crap frankly. Mom threatens to take my picture and if she does I'll have no use but to seek revenge somehow.

Also, Boomer and I have been talking, and we think that Pippin and Buster are right, he should poop in mom's shoes for me but he said something about waiting until after he eats something gross so that it's extra stinky. That Boomer is one smart dog.
