Another Introduction!

Hi and Welcome to this week's DOT post!

This week we are introducing Jean another wonderful person who stepped up to help out the DOT blog!
"I'm Jean from Georgia, currently owned by Penny Jasmine (The Princess), who is a black and tan dappled dachshund puppy. By trade I'm a CPA who works to earn dog food and dog toys for The Princess, and when I'm not amusing her, I enjoy counted thread needlework and knitting. I've been married for 25 years to Richard, who The Princess has wrapped around her little paw.
For her part, Penny enjoys rolling in the grass, chewing on bully sticks, chasing her tail, and attention from just about anyone. Her dislikes are nail trims, thunder, and not getting her way.
Waiting at the Rainbow Bridge is His Royal Lowness Oscar Worf, who left us in February at the age of 15 1/2. Oscar never considered himself to be a dog, so we're sure he didn't mind when Penny came into our lives. We miss him terribly."

Thank you Jean and I look forward to reading posts for you as well as the others who have been introduced. Jean blogs regularly at Baa Baa Knit Stitch.

Another Intro and another DOT!

Hello and Welcome to this week's Dogs on Thursday's post!

This week...another introduction!! Please go over and say hello and welcome to the team to Nicki!

A little about me...

I'm a small animal veterinarian working in southwest MO. I graduated from Univ of MO College of Vet Med in 2004. I spend most of my free time training dogs! But I also enjoy running, spending time outside, listening to country music, riding horses, and spending time with my husband-don't want him to be jealous of the dogs!

About the dogs...

Zodiac and Legend are both rescued border collies. Legend currently competes in agility and dabbles in obedience. Zodiac is retired from agility but is working toward his UD and RAE in obedience. They have over 30 performance titles between them and Zodiac is also a therapy pet-he currently visits the pediatric ward of the hospital. Already waiting at the Rainbow Bridge is Oreo-a border collie mix and my first performance dog and best friend whom I miss terribly. But he has left behing many wonderful memories and a tremendous legacy.

We also have a few cats, a rabbit, horses and 2 pot-bellied pigs (those belong to the hubby!)

You should be hearing from them in the near future!!!

DOT...a bit late!

Sorry for the late DOT post today. Was hoping to get this up earlier but just have not had a chance today.

Big welcome to Jacki. Welcome to our DOT pack!

So today we are going to introduce one of our new helpers!! Tina is our first one to be introduced. This is what she has to say about herself.

My name is Tina, wife of Kerry for 27 years, mother of 3 grown sons. Dog mom to our two basset hounds, Honey Dew 5 and Sampson 1 year. Reside: Pennsylvania Favorite Food: Chocolate, Herb Teas.

Please go over to her blog here and say hello and thank you for helping out. I'll have some more intros coming soon and also you'll be hearing from them starting next month!!

Thank you and sorry again for the late posting.

Dogs & Yarn

Happy Dogs on Thursday to you. While I realize not all of our participants are knitters, many of you are. And while the contest I'm about to mention is for Ravelry members, (if you knit, spin, crochet, design patterns, etc., you should be a member!) I believe it is worded so that those of you who sew might also give it a go.

CONTEST HERE

In short, if you happen to be (or become quickly?) a member of the Ravelry Namaste Love group and you send the Namaste girls and their dogs a sweater you made, you get entered to win Namaste products.




I can't help but share how much I love Namaste bags. I know Nichole and Natalie do too, but what a lot of folks don't know is that the Namaste girls love dogs and theirs go to work with them regularly. No wonder they produce bags that resist even basset hound drool!

This is also my last post, due to a new venture a friend and I have started. I will still be a member of the group, but I just don't have the time to commit to a regular feature here too. I'm grateful to Paula and Elise for starting this wonderful group and tradition, and I hope some of you who enjoy it too will step up and give Natalie a hand to keep it going. Stay in touch!
