WYSIWYG

What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.

Menodiddly; This And That

Slightly limbo this past week. The Grey went in for his service last week, which went well, although there are some repairs that require attending, which requires parts to be ordered. I am preparing this post on Tuesday and still no word. Slightly concerning, because until the repairs are done, his first official MOT (roadworthiness) can't be performed, and the deadline for that is tomorrow! I am hoping that as you read this, things have moved or are about to.

Anyway, whilst waiting for all that, I've been doing my usual, listening, watching, reading, yarning... got a bit more done on WIPs as per my post on Saturday Stitches, but also, being me, working new projects, too. Like this...


Say what?! Read all about that one on the upcoming stitches post.

I received the following update from the Lake District... oor wee pal has been undergoing some spring shenanigans, it seems!


I hope the wee lad didn't have too much of a hangover from that! 

While on the subject of dogs, I had some disappointing news about my current guide dog sponsor pup.




There was a bit more spiel than that, but that's the essential stuff. As compensation for the ongoing sponsorship, I have had a substitute puppy assigned, who is at a similar level as Buttons, in that she is due to go to full training. Once the pups are at training, there is usually only one, at most two, further pupdates, before then being signed off and then a new puppy comes my way again. I believe there is to be a full pupdate for Clover, coming up in June, so will share a bit more about her then. Meanwhile, isn't she pretty?

  1. I'm hoping that all has proceeded smoothly with The Grey. That is disappointing news about Buttons but apparently he's not meant to be a guide dog. May a happy home be in his near future. Clover is a beauty.

  2. Clover is indeed pretty. Dogs can be sheer fun. I don't have any, but my brother's dogs - 3 of them! - visit me every morning and evening. Very cordial guys. Since my cat doesn't like them, I can't pamper them too much.

  8. You really are camouflaged with that new scarf. My paws are crossed that Buttons finds a good home to enjoy life in.

  10. We understand about Buttons. Some dogs are just not cut out to be guides. Clover is a beauty and we wish her the very best with her training! We did catch the latest about Nobby on FB and we wish the Grey lots of luck!

  12. OH no on the parts thing, hope its done in time, what happens to you if its not done, you are not driving it. so sorry your puppy did not make it through and happy they found out before he went further. a dog can't help what they are just like humans... Clover is beautiful..
