Long time no blog, yo
It’s not that fun stuff isn’t happening, it’s just that when I sit down and bring up the post screen, there’s a distinct feeling of mehness.
So here’s the biggest most excitingest thing that’s happened in the last two weeks:
Belu bit Nick.
Tahoe was circling to lay down in front of Nick and Belu got tired of the jostling and snapped at him but nailed Nick’s upper thigh instead. She really didn’t mean to.
Really, she swears.
And, she claimed, “hey, it doesn’t look so bad!” But that pic is from that morning.
This pic was from a couple days later, when the tissues really had time to say, “M-therf-cker! Ow!”
Poor big bunny.
Anyway, he’s good now, but it’s at that itchy stage.
I have been knitting, but I’ve either forgotten to take a piccie or I just haven’t bothered.
Y’know. Just livin’ the life, not bloggin’ it.
Anyhoo.
Crivens is confoundingly cute.
Ooh, hey, I’m wearing the sweater I finished. Very comfy. I’m fairly happy with how it turned out but if I knit it again I’d make the arms even longer and make the arm gussets a little less wide. But it fits just like storebought, so I guess that’s good.

Crivvie - sooo adorable! Well, all your housemates are adorable. Sorry Nick got bit. At least it wasn’t on the ASS! Bwahhh!
Crivvie’s face - that was what I woke up to this morning - Sabby breath in my face and a nose two inches from mine. They DO have the life.
Sabrina is growl-y if we lurk around in her blind spot or hover over her back. We know this and generally avoid it. She will let us know if we forget. But she does it so adorably - if we’re all snuggling on the couch and I drape myself too closely to her, she’ll turn her princesslike head and so eloquently growl at me.

Poor Mr. Wendy!
Also, if I made one of those yarn kitties, I would gladly feed it to your pups.

Hmmm… I think that bruise looks like a sheep. A very fluffy one.

That bite makes me want to hide under my desk. (Admittedly, this is not a hard effect to achieve.)
Show more of pretty sweater? Please?
