Recently I decided that I needed additional seating in my living room. Back in January, I was out 'Window Shopping' when I found a chair that I thought would be perfect, however, I wasn't going to just buy it... because truth be told, I didn't
need the chair.
I went back to visit it a handful of times, and then in the end of Feb. when I was perusing the store it was at, I found it again... and it was on clearance!! So I decided that I could get it, as long as it would fit in my car to get home. Guess what.. I made it fit :)
The other day I was babysitting for the family whose house I set the fire alarms off at (remember that--they still have me back!), and the mom is expecting, so as she puts it she has been nesting. What does this have to do with getting a chair you ask? Well she has been buying chairs, and area rugs, and art, and all kinds of things to spruce up the place. When she got the new area rugs, I asked her what she was going to do with the old ones, and she said I could have them! Super cool!! So one of them is now living in my storage unit (I only have a small apt, and both wouldn't fit), and one is in my living room area.
With the rug in place, and a clearance chair that would fit in my car, I got to spruce up my palace! I love the chair, and wouldn't you know it, Charlie loves it too! He actually walks up to it, checks to see if there is anything in his way, then takes a few steps back and does a running, flying leap into the seat. Then he can either curl up in it, or perch up over the back, and peer out the window.
I'm glad he approves of my furniture choices.
Happy Dogs on Thursday!
I think he likes it! I would have let him go in the water if it weren't so cold, but I don't want my boy to freeze! So we'll save his swimming for the bath tub for now, and we can go back to the beach to go swimming in the summer when the water is warmer... I think he will really enjoy it.
He seemed to really love the sand and the sea grass. He was smelling everything! The tide was out a ways when we went there, and he got a chance to feel the wet sand, and to see all kinds of shells, and smell the sea grass, and frolic around being so happy! 
They really got there tongues going, and it kept them quiet for about an hour... 30 minutes to eat them, and 30 minutes to endure the food coma that followed. 
They eat everything!
But still they are cute... How can you get too upset with sweet little pups like these? :) In this picture Kati Lady and Z Dog were trying to snuggle up with me while I was trying to do laundry...sill dogs. 
In return for this love, I think Kati has adopted me back! She follows me everywhere. When I'm cooking or doing something in the kitchen, she is sleeping near the cupboards. If I am typing something on the computer, she has crawled under the desk and is sleeping on my feet. Most recently if I am upstairs in my room, she curls up on the landing on the stairs and waits for me there. 
OH and speaking of knitting mish-haps, this wasn't due to the pups, but look at that bent needle! I accidentally shut it in the door! Oops. Then I tried to straighten it out, and caused tiny dents that would inevitably snag my knitting! Don't worry, I went and purchased some new wooden ones, and I kept the straight metal needle so that if Katie gets too curious next time, and one needle dies, I will at least still have two opperable needles.
