Life's a Stitch

Thanks to all  for your supportive comments. Gracee lived as long as as our first Scottie, almost to the day and really, it was on borrowed time. She was supposed to be put down at six months, but we took her in with serious health issues. We were told she would live until age 7 or 8 due to her lifelong prednisone dose and we had her for 11 1/2. 

I miss her company and the way, when she occasionally slept on the foot of our bed, she would use my ankle as a pillow. I still expect to see her when I enter a room. You welcome a dog into your family and the inevitable heartbreak eventually happens.  It's the difficult part of dog ownership.

No knitting yet, the finger is not quite healed, but I engaged in some therapeutic shopping with a yarn purchase. Elann.com had Jojoland Rhythm on sale and I bought enough for a blanket. A comfort purchase indeed.
