Puggle Overload
Posted by Lanea on Wednesday, December 13th, 2006
My friend Danny just got a new, as yet unnamed, puppy. Who is half Beagle and half Pug. The cuteness, it is killing me, and I haven’t even met the pup in person yet.
No, it gets worse
When he gets sad
And even worse when he is tired . . .
I have to save him! Look how sad!
Now, stare and the wonder that is puppy-cuteness, and forget that I have shown you no knitting. I am still, or course, sans computer and entirely reliant on my dear husband’s good graces and generosity. I have bribed him with a hat. The sock-yarn blanket is much bigger, thanks largely to Rachel, who was kind enough to send me her awesome leftovers (the woman, she buys nice sock-yarn). I’m making some hats to give to folks, so I can’t show you those yet. Two of the hats in question suffered greatly last night when Yarrow, herr KätzchenHosen himself, pulled both hats-in-progress out of my purse and dragged them all over the freaking house. When I found the massacree this morning, I had to alternate winding and detangling with squirting Yarrow, who is not so much with the learning or the self-control. I think I’ll make him into some shoe liners when I get home tonight. Unless he turns on the cute. The cute, it is like kryptonite to me.

You’re not helping with the doggie obsession over here. (It just may be possible that Tivo has been recording an inordinate number of Animal Planet shows lately…My favorite–the dog agility competitions.
Glad you’re enjoying the sock yarn–I enjoyed it the first time around. (Oh, and ahem, sorry…there just may be some ground up clown color in there….)

laneaon 14 Dec 2006 at 11:16 am 4Asking me not to encourage you to get a dog is like asking me not to encourage you to eat and breathe, people. Dogs are the shiznit. My friends’ dogs taught me a kind of joy I didn’t know existed. My dog has made me a better, happier, healthier person. Kayo would give me his organs if I asked, and he would risk his life to protect me from a bad guy, and he keeps my feet warm and my dishes clean and my yard free of lions and rats and other nasty things. So don’t bother asking me to stop encouraging dog-acquisition. Ain’t gonna happen. : >
anjon 14 Dec 2006 at 12:12 pm 5see the puggles.. they are the type of dog I want (along with a rhodesian ridgeback, a border collie, and an austrialian shepherd. YEAH I want high maintenance dogs and I’m a low maintenance girl.) So the puggle fits COMPLETELY in my lifestyle. *sigh.
now I will sing Alice’s Restaurant all day. Thanks.
I have sock bits.. need to finish the ones I am working on to send you more sock bits.
PS cats know the cute well. that is why they aren’t extinct yet.
