Do dogs feel embarrassed?

Captain's Log, Supplemental

Snickers has been licking a wound on her leg, so we put the dreaded cone on her neck. It’s a big honkin’ plastic thing that isolates her head.

It looks absolutely ridiculous on her. It made me wonder if dogs feel embarrassed at how silly they look. What do you think? She looks a bit sorrowful, doesn’t she?



It kind of puts a damper on her attempts to guard her backyard.

TCU. (Totally cracking up.) Poor Snickers. Well, at least she's not trying to lick the inside of the cone. Reminds me of Karen's dog Dakota who got her head stuck inside the dog biscuit jar -- they had to cut it off her, but she was having a blast licking all the crumbs from inside the jar. What a hoot.

When my s-i-l cut Mario's hair one time, she cut it too short and she laughed at him when she was done. He avoided her -- not even being in the same room with her -- for three weeks.

Poor Snickers! She does look embarrassed.

Camy, I just visited your Loft last week for the first time and read the story of your writing journey. I want to thank you for being so generously open. I now have confirmation that my experience is not isolated, which is a great comfort.

What especially spoke to my heart was God's discipline of your initial motivation for writing. After writing almost nonstop for five years, I have spent over a year struggling to get one sentence of fiction on paper. I feel that God is disciplining me for putting my writing above His glory. I accept the discipline as just and necessary. Still, living without fiction writing has been very difficult, when I used to fall into it as readily and naturally as breathing. Your story, however, gives me hope that once I've fully surrendered my dreams to God, He may eventually give back my passion for writing novels. Thank you again for sharing the struggles that led to your success, and congrats on your contract with Zondervan!

Ahhh, poor sweet baby! My Lizzie (a West Highland Terror--er--Terrier) seemed to be embarrassed when some mad groomer (whom we never went back to...) cut off all of her hair. Gack!

Dogs are characters, fer shure.(But then, so are their peeps!)

She insulted a hat 👒 and ruined her Season

Welcome! My name is Camille Elliot, and I write Christian Regency Suspense with slow-burn romance and a touch of the supernatural. Thank you for— “Cut!” Lissa, one of my characters, shouts and stomps onto the stage. I stare at her. “I’m not filming a commercial.” “It doesn’t matter. You’re being boring.” I shift uncomfortably, because she’s probably right. “Well then, what should I say? I’m writing a blog post for someone who doesn’t know anything about my books.” “If you start with pleasantries, I will hide your tea,” she threatens. “ All of it.” I gasp in horror. “You wouldn’t!” “Try me!” “I was just going to ask readers to subscribe to my newsletter.” “I shall topple into the shrubbery as I fall dead asleep on my feet.” “Rude,” I mutter. “Maybe start with an explosion. Or at least a hideous hat that ruins my reputation forever.” “Your reputation wasn’t ruined,” I protest. “You were simply unfortunately overheard.” “As I insulted a hat.” “Then maybe you shouldn’t insu...

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...

How to Start the Lady Wynwood’s Spies Series (with Free Prequels & Bonus Extras)

New to Lady Wynwood’s Spies? Start Here I’m a fan of both Pride and Prejudice and Mission: Impossible , and I loved the idea of noblewomen working as undercover agents, so I wrote this Christian Regency romantic suspense series for readers just like me.

If you love stories where you don’t have to say goodbye to the characters after just one book, this series was written for you. Below is your complete reader guide to the books, prequels, bonus content, and behind-the-scenes extras. Whether you’re just curious or ready to dive in, this roadmap will help you find the perfect place to start. ✨ Lady Wynwood’s Spies Reader...

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...
