On Sunday, Morton Grove Animal Hospital hosted an event for Adopt-a-Pet: Holiday Pet Photos. The office isn’t terribly far from my house, and Dr. B is a Crowdrise buddy, so I took Gibbs over for a portrait with Santa Claus. Hi, my name is… Continue Reading “Adopt-a-Pet, Inc.”
Saturday was Blanket Day for our chapter of Project Linus. I am sorry to say that I totally forgot to take pictures. But the final product looks pretty much the same every time: This day’s take resembled 560 blankets bagged, tagged and ready to… Continue Reading “November Blanket Day and Blanket 62”

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about the Trio Animal Foundation, a group that raises funds to help homeless animals get the medical care they need. A week or so thereafter, I received a rather scathing comment about how terrible they are, how… Continue Reading “About Trio and Vitriol”
Heartland Animal Shelter in Northbrook was featured on WGNTV yesterday. I can’t seem to embed the clip, but you can find it here. And this is one of the puppies featured: As if I need to be seeing any more Border Collie puppies. I… Continue Reading “Heartland Animal Shelter”
I finished these between Wednesday and Sunday: The above pink fleece with Red Heart Soft yarn in Plummy, left over from a previous project. Above has two rows of Red Heart yarn in Light Coral and two rows of white. And three rows of Red… Continue Reading “Blankets 50 – 52”
