My Tangled Yarn Knitting Adventures

Ramblings from an obsessed knitter

Dueling Dogs

Posted on March 28, 2024 by atangledyarn84

The kiddos and I tried to take a weekend trip to the grandparents. By my van’s alternator had other plans and we broke down halfway there. Silver lining? Spencer’s godfather and his family rescued us and put us up while the mechanic fixed the van. So we had a perfectly lovely weekend letting our kids get to know each other and Duke found a new playmate!

Mavis a lovely chocolate brown lab and made a picture perfect contrast to my yellow lab. They utterly exhausted each other!

I sure do love puppies!!

Interrupted Knitting

Posted on December 13, 2023 by atangledyarn84

I am making decent enough progress on my purse knitting, which is my Emotional Support Socks. I was working on them and set them down to grab some water. Only to come back to find Duke using them as a pillow. I didn’t have the heart to move him.

I have this goal of getting these socks finished before the Christmas holiday. I am just ready to move on to another skein of pretty yarn. Maybe even something in a heavier weight like sport or DK?

But that probably means I need to keep the pup off them and they would get done faster! Happy Knitting!!

How could you not love this face?!

But I think he wants me to put the knitting away…

Happy Knitting!

A Curveball

Posted on August 11, 2015 by atangledyarn84

Knitting today has been postponed on account of dog cuddles. Dex got a raging ear infection and ensuing swelling from head shaking required minor surgery on his ears. Doc got him all cleaned up and it’s healing nicely but I’m putting down the needles to cuddle my fur baby!

Ps. He hates the ear sleeve……

The Dreaded Cone

Posted on March 12, 2015 by atangledyarn84

My poor fur baby got a little too rambunctious at the park the other day and opened up his foot. Despite our best at home care a visit to the vet was necessary. Dex COULD not wait to leave the vet!

But it was probably due to the dreaded cone. That face!!! With salve and antibiotics he should be right as rain in a week. (And stop knocking stuff over with his satellite dish, lol.)

He’s just going to need a little extra TLC!

Friday Funny!

I saw this on Pinterest and busted up laughing. Source unknown but pretty much sums up a Friday after the week I’ve had!

A Boy and His Dog

Posted on February 26, 2015 by atangledyarn84

We have been working on getting the fur babies used to a moving and mobile tiny human.

Our lab is so gentle and calm. We only introduce them fully supervised and with lots of positive praise for both. So far so good!

Fingers crossed they become fast friends!!

A Dogs Life

Posted on January 24, 2015 by atangledyarn84

We took Dex to the local dog day care for a day (I know we are now spoiling him rotten) as a reward for being a good fur brother to Jellybean. He LOVES it and came home so exhausted he almost fell sleep sitting up. I guess learning to doggy slide is hard work!

Oh how I wish I could have watched him play! What do you do to spoil your fur babies?
