Not much knitting going on in these parts. There's a distraction in town.
After losing our beloved Flat Coated Retriever Echo last August - there was great debate in our house as to whether or not we
should get another. After much discussion...we decided to get a puppy. We found a great breeder and as luck would have it, there were 5 girl puppies from a litter of six so we would have no problem getting another female.
A week ago Sunday, we picked her up. The glow of puppy kisses and tail wagging lasted half way down the breeder's driveway when she began wailing. After about 45 minutes - she fell asleep in the back seat between the boys.We've named her Phoebe because I always said if Echo had been a human being, she'd have been Phoebe on Friends. She's adorable and ALOT of work right now. The wailing is still continuing in the night time but a round of NyQuil shooters and ear plugs seems to help.
On the breeder's advice - I bought an over sized stuffed dog to mimic her mother. She loves to cuddle up to it. I got a black dog so she would feel comfortable but it doesn't make for the best photography when the subject is also black.
And yes -she's already fetched a bag of Lopi she found in the corner.
Batten the stashes!!

She's beautiful. I can't remember ours being that small. She's 3 now.

I remember the puppy stage -- it is A LOT OF WORK! but so worth it when you have a friend that will love you unconditionally, give you the push you need to go out for a walk, and snuggle up with you on a cold night!
Enjoy the puppy stage..it goes by so quickly.
She is really, really, really cute. Now I want another puppy. I think if she could speak she would tell you that what she wants is a sister. :)
Have fun and good luck. At least she took Lopi and not Rowan.
OMG. How absolutely adorable! I just want to hug her!
