Dumb dog

Captain’s Log, Stardate 05.27.2006

Blog book giveaway:
My Monday book giveaway is A GIRL’S BEST FRIEND by Kristin Billerbeck.
My Thursday book giveaway is LIFE INTERRUPTED by Tricia Goyer.
You can still enter both giveaways. Just post a comment on each of those blog posts. On Monday, I'll draw the winner for A GIRL’S BEST FRIEND and post the title for another book I'm giving away. Stay tuned.

Bikini shot: Snickers is very cute, but sometimes she’s dumber than dirt.

Here she is lying out in the hot sun. Now if I had a permanent fur coat, I’d avoid sunbathing. Does she? Nope.



And the thing on her nose is grass, because she had just rubbed her face in it, I guess because her nose was itchy.

Okay, ’fess up. Any dumb animal stories?

Um...I really have TOO many dumb cat stories to share, I wouldn't know where to start. There was a hysterical moment 2 wks ago when Pepper (my black cat) was using the litterbox (which is in the laundry room). I was back there doing laundry, looked down at his head sticking out of the cover, and there was all of this litter stuck to his nose! It was hysterical! Unfortunately I didn't have a camera available.

Well, okay. Now you have my attention.
If you listen to my husband, we have the stupidest border collie ever born. If you listen to me, she's just pretending to be stupid - it's a ruse. She is really SuperDog, ready to leap tall buildings in a single bound.
Too bad about that hip displaysia.
Thunderstorms will send her running for cover into the nearest closet, and if she is alone during a storm, I will be sure to find some nasty presents to clean up.
But, she is still my dog and she is beautiful and I love her lots. She keeps me company during the day, listens to my sob stories, licks away my tears and gives the best hugs I know!!
Oh, and she doesn't talk back!!!

Well, the only contribution I can make here is that we had a beautiful dog name Ivanhoe more than 30 years ago. Unfortunately, he was very hyper (supposedly, he was separated too young from his mom). One thing he often did when he was excited to see me back after a week I spent in residence at university, was to sit and try to lave my hands, face, anything his tongue could get to and...piddle on my foot. Eeek. But since it was a sign of his excitement and love, I tried to get used to it. LOL

Snickers looks cool in the heat! And nothing like an armful of warm doggie. Love it!

Okay, now I'm going to tell you this and there will be people ready to stone me. LOL. We had this kitten. My first ever pet. His name was Fred. Anyway, I got home from work one day right after we got Fred. I opened the door and saw him sitting in the window. I wondered why I couldn't hear him meow. I could see him meowing but couldn't hear him. All the sudden I realized he was stuck between the storm window and the regular window. AHHH! I'm thinking I should not be allowed to have pets. Somehow the window slipped down while we were gone. I have no idea how long he was in there. He was so hot. I felt horrible. Oh and he lived. Maybe I should mention that.

Now when we laugh about it we always sing "How much is that kitty in the window"...I know- we're bad people. ; )

Our black lab chews everything. He's gotten a little better as he's gotten older. But when we were visiting my mom's, we left him on her patio with his leash out of reach--we thought. We came back and he had eaten his whole leash except for the metal latch. The whole stupid thing was gone, not even a scrap left. On top of that, he's allergic to animal protein and it was a leather leash. Hope it tasted good.

But hey, for all their nuttieness, animals provide a lot of laughter and entertainment. My dad always said we could tell God had a sense of humor because He created cats.

STICK TO DOGS.

Lavender hand lotion

Captain's Log, Stardate 11.05.2009 I have to tell you, I LOVE Etsy.com ! Etsy is dedicated to providing a marketplace for people who like to make handmade products and people who appreciate them (and buy them). It has everything from handmade gifts (like my mom’s Bucilla Christmas stockings and ornaments and tree skirts and wall hangings and … well, just click here to see what she has! ) to soaps and lotions and jewelry and knitted items and hand-painted yarn and ... I could surf that website for DAYS. Anyway, lately I’ve been concerned about the lead content in my lotions, especially since I’m using them more now that it’s turned colder and drier here in California. I have to use lotion on my hands everytime after I wash them. So I went onto Etsy and searched for organic hand lotions, and bought this lavender lotion from Lue Cosmetics . What was really nice is that the owner, Jane, sent me a direct message via Etsy right after I made the purchase to ask if I’d received it yet and ...

Grace Livingston Hill romances free to read online

I wanted to update my old post on Grace Livingston Hill romances because now there are tons more options for you to be able to read her books for free online! I’m a huge Grace Livingston Hill fan. Granted, not all her books resonate with me, but there are a few that I absolutely love, like The Enchanted Barn and Crimson Roses . And the best part is that she wrote over 100 books and I haven’t yet read them all! When I have time, I like to dive into a new GLH novel. I like the fact that most of them are romances, and I especially appreciate that they all have strong Christian themes. Occasionally the Christian content is a little heavy-handed for my taste, but it’s so interesting to see what the Christian faith was like in the early part of the 20th century. These books are often Cinderella-type stories or A Little Princess (Frances Hodgson Burnett) type stories, which I love. And the best part is that they’re all set in the early 1900s, so the time period is absolutely fasci...

Tabi socks, part deux

Captain's Log, Stardate 07.25.2008 (If you're on Ravelry, friend me! I'm camytang.) I made tabi socks again! (At the bottom of the pattern is the calculation for the toe split if you're not using the same weight yarn that I did for this pattern (fingering). I also give an example from when I used worsted weight yarn with this pattern.) I used Opal yarn, Petticoat colorway. It’s a finer yarn than my last pair of tabi socks, so I altered the pattern a bit. Okay, so here’s my first foray into giving a knitting pattern. Camy’s top-down Tabi Socks I’m assuming you already know the basics of knitting socks. If you’re a beginner, here are some great tutorials: Socks 101 How to Knit Socks The Sock Knitter’s Companion A video of turning the heel Sock Knitting Tips Yarn: I have used both fingering weight and worsted weight yarn with this pattern. You just change the number of cast on stitches according to your gauge and the circumference of your ankle. Th...

Sourdough Treacle Buns recipe from Lady Wynwood's Spies

If you read my Christian Regency Romantic Suspense novel, Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 2: Berserker , you will have noticed that Miss Tolberton brings humble treacle buns to eat with tea at the church. Not only that, but the treacle bun appears in a surprising way in Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 3: Aggressor . I got the idea for treacle buns from looking through old cookbooks from the 1800s. Commercial dry yeast cakes for making breads were not available until 1825, which is 15 years after the date of my book, so most breads during the Regency period were made with sourdough starters. “Black treacle” is the same thing as molasses, and was mentioned in cookbooks published during the Regency period, but in those books, I couldn’t find a recipe for treacle bread or treacle buns or brown bread. This seemed a bit strange to me since brown bread (made with whole wheat and black treacle) has been around since before the Regency period, but I am guessing that it was such a common food, m...
