Lotus Toes
No, not the kind you get from the cruel ancient Chinese practice of foot binding.
Lotus toes is the full name of our little (now 80 lb!!!) blue dobe Lola.
Lola is 10 months old this weekend…
and she loves the new Lotus anklets
which will also give you unbound, comfy, lotus toes.
Birthday number two this weekend
is my faithful old Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog Jake.
I’ve had him since he was 12 weeks old
it was those big brown eyes I fell in love with.
From the moment I met him they seemed to look right into my soul. I had no idea he was supposed to be a farm dog, capable of herding cattle & baying hogs right out of the bayou. If I had known I probably would not have brought him home to be a housepet, but now I can’t imagine not having had him with me these past 10 years.
And, finally, birthday number three, Happy Birthday Xilia!!!
…in keeping with the tens trend, Xilia is 10 years younger than I am.
Let’s all eat a piece of cake and raise a toast to these three beauties…
HAPPY BIRTHDAYS!!!

oh i almost forgot: dog sweaters. of of my favourite knitting shops has a whole big binder full of patterns for dog sweaters and things. since i don’t own a dog, i’ve never seriously glanced through it but it seems to me i’ve seen sweater patterns for bigger dogs like lola (and teensy dogs like vel). if the sweaters are knitted in the round, you’d never have a seam to mend. i think it would be cute to see her in a matching sweater/sock combo!
