20 Hats Completed

And these 6 hats make 20! CPS is picking them up today along w/3 blankie bears.

Joker-a very good dog waiting for his home

Joker is a sweet boy who is currently at the Coos County Animal Shelter. He's been there since the end of April. People walk right by him all the time because he's a big, black, pitbull. But, he's so much more than that. He gets along well with most other dogs, will chase cats if they run from him, but otherwise is fine with them, loves people and most especially kids! He is neutered, about a year old, has pretty good leash manners, and knows most basic commands. I'm sharing a link to a video of him playing fetch w/my 11yr old daughter Riley. He really is this good, and this was right after we took him out of his kennel to the play yard...and trust me, I don't trust my kids around just anyone, but I'd trust Joker with them w/out hesitation:

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hope Everyone Had a Merry Christmas!!

I had a great Christmas...got a wonderful new quilt and some lollipops! We'll do pictures later when I get it all set up. Michelle did the small tree this year, she didn't feel like hauling out all the ornaments and stuff & doing it all herself, so we just set up on the dining room table. It still turned out well & everyone had a great holiday.

It's starting to look like Christmas

December Mother Bear Project bear holding a couple of the angel ornaments Michelle has been making for friends. And yes, December bear has a definate Christmas type thing going on.

Close up of the face. Michelle likes this face best of the ones she has made.
