My great niece, Elsa, and her hat! 

Better but not good! 

I'm not happy with it. Next one will be better. 

It turned out MUCH bigger than I anticipated. 

Many have asked to see the outcome of the mess. Here it is. And yes, that is a Bichon Shrine! 

Some days you are the pigeon and some days the statue! 

knitting during sadness 

When you are sad....knit!

I made a big hat while I was crying over my little Razzle.

Little Razzle. She was so cold, we put a onesie on her. 

Razzle

Sometimes the rewards of rescue are great. Taking in that unwanted little one and then finding it a wonderful, loving home has got to be one of the greatest feelings in the world. But sometimes, rescue hurts.

I brought in a 15 year old girl, Razzle, last April. I took her from the Western PA Humane Society (they had the nerve to charge me $100 for her plus lied about her age). I knew Razzle wasn't longed for this world. I took her straight to my vet. Razz had a lot of health issues. Dr. O gave me meds and we nursed Razzle to adequate health. I really thought she would be with us for awhile. She started failing this week. I took her back to Dr. O. Poor little Razz was just too old and too weak to fight. Razz left me today. Everytime these little ones leave, they take a piece of my heart. This is something you never get used to and it never stops hurting.

Razzle, be with God.
