So CheekyProf was writing about doing some Monday dogblogging this summer. I’m planning to make it more of a general petblogging thing but thought I’d post a few puppy photos of Winter to get things started. So here she is in her black and white adorableness.

I’ve probably posted them before but they got lost during the great photo journal fileloss mystery.

In other news I went to the Dropped Stitch Knitter’s Guild meeting today. I’d met a few members at the Fiber Fiesta and went ahead and joined when I found out they meet just down the mesa from my house. It was a fun group of very nice women who really know what they’re doing with this knitting stuff but were very encouraging in their praise of my work so far. I’m the youngest in the group by at least ten years but that didn’t matter at all it was all about the knitting. I’m sure they’ll be very sweet when I bring in my little punk knitter projects, they LOVED my felted lopi tote bag. I did make the mistake of mentioning that I used to design websites so I’ve been volunteered as the new webmistress. It’s ok it keeps me off the streets right? The great part is they meet Wednesday nights so now I’ll get to hit them on the weeks I can’t go to the Tuesday knit night group!

In non-dog, non-knitting news I wanted to pimp two sites I enjoyed today…

-this has got to be the most personally apt review I’ve read of Mr. Lucas’ latest. Particularly the parts about Padme looking like she’s just slightly bloated rather than pregnant with twins and the complete lack of strange cravings or the ever-present morning sickness. I wonder if Get up Grrl has seen it (wish she’d publish an rss feed dammit).

-ok this is sort of dog-related but I’ve really been enjoying hatamaran’s paintings. No, they’re not “high art” but they are adorable, expressive, and she’s clearly having a good time making them. Which is just as (if not more) important as backing your shit up with all kinds of high-minded art theory. Believe me, this I know.
