The past year has found me being very good about not enhancing the stash of yarn and fiber. I have tackled
the room again since throwing everything but the kitchen sink in there since Gus came into our lives. On that subject, he is doing well and has grown up quickly. Last Sunday, we met Gus' brother and his family at a park. When the mama and five puppies were rescued, Gus and Rudy did not want to be separated and the foster family took both brothers in until they were adopted. Jim was posing on Facebook, made a connection through Lynsey, the foster "mom," and then the family of Buddy, the third brother, connected with everyone. It has been fun to communicate and share photos of the dogs. Gus is the tallest and heaviest of the three and we thought they would be the same size. Photos can be deceiving!

17.06.19 We have had some really nice weather lately. Gus and I have been spending some quality time on the deck. He has a thing about his blanket and likes to drag it around, shake it, chew it, and then put it on my lap. I was attempting to get some knitting and reading done, but Gus wanted so much to help with my knitting project. He was distracted by the maple tree seeds (helicopters) and sticks, so I managed to knit a couple of rows. Gus then decided that I needed to hold the stick while he chewed it, and was momentarily distracted by a squirrel. The deck needed a good sweep when the stick chewing was done. Gus is a busy boy and a good boy. This year the maple trees have produced a bumper crop of helicopters. I filled a bucket twice when I swept the patio and sweep the deck every day. Thankfully the two trees are just about done shedding them!
