Max and I went in for his once a year check up yesterday. Jake goes next Monday. We had the embarrassing weigh in. (9.5 lbs. Max this really is a decent weight for a guy your size) Then off to the room for the degrading temp check and the Bordetella vaccine (kennel cough). Once that was all over Dr. Buxton came in for the exam. Max got a full going over all the while trying to sit there with his last ounce of dignity in place. Last year Max was diagnosed with a heart murmur. (Can anyone think of a better house for a dog with a heart condition to live in!!! He fits in just perfectly.) This year it has been upgraded. Meaning that its gotten a bit worse. With the coughing that Max has been doing of late Dr. felt that perhaps Max was retaining a bit more fluid than necessary. So Max is now taking Lasix to help eliminate the excess fluid. Dr. told me that we could possibly tell a difference after one pill. Boy was he right! No coughing at all out of Max. I'm so glad this has worked and I'm anxious to tell Dr. about it when he calls tomorrow. Yeah Max!
Finished "the project". Here is a picture of the monster. Now don't get me wrong. It really is a lovely piece and I'm thrilled to have it in my possession to enjoy, but I'm thrilled to be done with it also. That edging! though fun to do, at first, is quite tedious and you do get tired of doing the same thing over and over again. Actually, 213 little triangles....... each with 6 rows.......me! doing nothing else for 3 days. I won't be doing that pattern again for a while or at best I'll not put a time limit on myself for completion.
Now to get it washed and blocked.
Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
Jolie home sick today. Came home from school yesterday looking depleted. Sure enough I didn't even have to take her temp to see she was feverish. So here we go again. She is the first and I'm anxious to see who comes next.
Have already started the next project. Cashmere! Wonderful Cashmere! Wow! I love this stuff. So soft and slippery on the needles. Carefully, I'm knitting so as to not drop a stitch. Don't want to have to rip out rows of knitting on this. Yes, this has rows of knitting on it.
