New Sock Yarn
I used my coupon at Purlescence and picked up some Claudia Handpainted (Walk in the Woods, Jungle from Left to Right), and some Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock (Pioneer, Mt. Creek, from Center to Right)

I also picked up some Chasing Rainbows Dyeworks Merino/Tencel fiber, which might just get its chance on the spinning wheel sometime very soon…

Mojo Madness

[Picture-heavy puppy post. If you hate puppies, don't scroll down.]

It was a momentous week in Mojo’s life, as he made his first trip to the dog park.

He was a bit terrified…


but he made some new friends…

Siena wasn’t too happy about having to share the back of the car with Mojo…

but there is plenty of room for them in the back of my new (pre-owned) dog mobile…

Mojo also made it up on the couch, without the impetus of the devil vacuum cleaner.

He convinced Siena to play with him a bit…

And we’ve started trying to teach him to leave Lilla alone…

Sometimes Siena just wants to be left alone too…

Somehow Mojo didn’t gain any weight this week (or I weighed him at the wrong time of day), so he was 19.5 pounds at 15 weeks. He did grow 2 inches taller since the last time I measured him 2 weeks ago, so he’s now 14.5 inches tall. He’s still 17 inches long. He has started biting our heels, so he definitely has some herding dog in him. His ears are still getting perkier. So, I still think he’s a Rottweiler/German Shepherd/Lab mix, and that he’ll be 70 lb. at 1 year and 90 lb. as an adult. I’m going to go for 23 lb. again as my guess for next week’s weight.
