We are dealing with an aging dog as well, altho he doesn't have issues like that. It's just sad to see him getting so stiff and arthritic. My husband thinks the dog is losing his sense of hearing, smell, etc. All I know is, when I'm cutting up meat in the kitchen, he's in there pretty darn quick! But he's definitely slowing down in a big way. <BR/><BR/>The canisters are so cute!rohanknitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09204689018718224728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363968.post-62646514859401372892007-09-02T15:22:00.000-05:002007-09-02T15:22:00.000-05:00I am really sorry to hear about Nikko!

I am really glad that you finally were able to get them.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your 4-day weekend!<BR/><BR/>MarianneMariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09925732387933885740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363968.post-4841782454492484062007-09-01T15:01:00.000-05:002007-09-01T15:01:00.000-05:00So sorry to hear about Nikko.

I hope the medication helps. <BR/>Your cannisters are lovely! Good things come to those who wait. <BR/>My daughter is staying home for college, but one of her friends almost lived with us for quite a while during high school, and she went away for college. I think I will pick up a bear and knit a sweater in her school's colors and send it off to her. Thanks for the idea. <BR/>I am watching your Chevron scarf progress in anticipation. We don't have a yarn store where I can go and choose yarn so I will have to order on-line. I have been watching blogs all over for something I can order from the Loopy Ewe. But I know I have to be quick - gosh her stuff moves fast. ; )<BR/>Karen V in MNKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11931460214761536379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363968.post-34153819580935878102007-09-01T07:32:00.000-05:002007-09-01T07:32:00.000-05:00Nikko and you sitting and knitting, good for both ...Nikko and you sitting and knitting, good for both of you.

We kept him on medication for quite a few years though, and he lived a happy life inspite of occasionally freaking us out when he had a seizure.<BR/><BR/>I've been knitting some socks with my "pepermint mocha" yarn. What a wonderful experience.Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02782876823581408975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363968.post-53519093038888916832007-08-31T13:08:00.000-05:002007-08-31T13:08:00.000-05:00so sorry to hear about your dog... although, not t...so sorry to hear about your dog... although, not to make light of it, i did exactly the same thing yesterday when i got an inner ear infection.

I pray the meds work and she finds some relief. Kiss that wet nose for me!<BR/><BR/>I LOVE EBAY! I find the best things there. Like you with your canisters, I have wanted a krumkake iron since mine went awol in the move years ago. I just found one on ebay for 5$! They are 50$ new! I am so excited, since a friend and I get together with our irons every December and make dozens of those thin and crispy krumkakes! Yum, love'em!<BR/><BR/>I wish we could get together, maybe next time you are in the Twin Cities. I live in the western burbs in Excelsior so we could meet somewhere for coffee and knitting!<BR/><BR/>Karen in MNKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09577281088917398070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363968.post-671678968759884542007-08-30T12:49:00.000-05:002007-08-30T12:49:00.000-05:00Oh, I'm very sorry about Nikko.

We have had them in our yard. I love them. Yes, I stay away from them.. but any type of Black Bear I just love. I am totally against the Bear Hunt here in NJ. OK so now you know I'm strange, I like black bears and spiders... but they are all *outside* remember!! LOL<BR/><BR/>Kristin is so lucky!
