Honey also has a developed the acne… what a pain.  She is however a better patient and is healing much quicker.

Faygo says – Happy Whisker’s on Wednesday.

Also —- Big thank you to Bubblesknits at Alabama Fiber Dreams – I won the prize for following her to her new blog home.  I’ve never had Wollmeise before and I can’t wait to find the perfect pattern for it.  The Baba Jaga colorway is just gorgeous and a perfect colorway for me.

This is a lovely free Ravelry pattern – 198 Yards of Heaven. I used some love Karaoke that was a gift from my two knitting buds — Beverly and Dawn.  I have two more balls that might become another one of these…because it’s perfect size to be scarf and just enough coverage to keep your shoulders warm — so versatile.

Coco really wants the ball… can I have the ball please?  Now it looks like a pet toy factory blew up here most days, but if Max has one ball… she must have it.  They are both little hoarders.  Happy Dogs on Thursday.

Happy Whisker’s on Wednesday.  The higher the stack, the more she loves it.  That is now her reserved spot on their side of the counter.  Thank goodness those are their pet towels that we leave handy for emergencies.  As much as I love them…I’d hate to towel off with a furry towel.

DH came home and looked at it and he asked what the button on the handle was for – well it’s to fold it down.  Of course we didn’t know that because we never had a deal with a child’s stroller.

We first took a spin around the house.  The girls seemed ok with it and even Madison liked it.  Coco wasn’t 100% sure, but gave it a whirl also.  Once it cooled off a bit, we headed out on the maiden voyage.

Jasmine sat up and looked around.  Sweet Pea laid down and watched me out the back window the whole way.  We were fine through the whole neighborhood even around the man cutting his lawn.  However, they both got skittish when we had to walk by someone smoothing out gravel with a front loader.  I think that was an extreme circumstance though and they just laid down to the back where they could see me.  I think Coco would have been very skittish as well with that big noise.  I just took the girls this time, because I wasn’t sure I could manage the dogs and them at the same time.  I think I may be able to manage them all on short stints, so we’ll give that another go tomorrow.

Overall the AT3 pet stroller by Pet Gear is a quality product.  I looked at a cheaper model in the pet store and I wouldn’t waste my money on that one.  This one was very sturdy and I felt safe rolling the girls around in it.  I found it to be good size and easy to push.  It’s easy for me to handle and I’m about 5′ 2″.

I did a lot of research before hand and knew that the zipper could be tricky and the drink tray was not square, so I focused on getting those right.  My zipper works fine and the mesh is all in place.  I could take or leave the tray.  It was a good holder for my garage door opener.   The drink cups are a little small.  The inside seems comfy, but not plush.  I would probably put an extra pillow when the weather cools down.  I could easily walk down to the post office with packages or to drop off books at the library, with the carry bit underneath.  Overall I’m extremely happy with this purchase.

Aren’t they cute when they are freshly groomed and notice Coco finally has tail feathers.

Happy dogs on Thursday.

Shadow kitty…What a pretty picture.

What a pretty kitty…

Have to share some swag acquired on the trip —

A new letter opener with magnify glass…

A new pen… the Sailor Realo — the ink came from France.  Some folks commented on how it looks like it has sparkle inside… I didn’t see any with my sample in a broad nib lamy.  The blue writing is with my sailor – a fine nib.  It writes like buttah…

A butterfly pin…

and a new pouch for my stitch markers.

Still cute as ever.

So I’m still recuperating from my big adventure out East.  I’ve just uploaded all the pictures and will get some updates shortly.

Yup, just about got it.

Happy Whiskers on Wednesday.
