First Sunday of Advent! Where has this year gotten to? It's been a busy one, for sure and I'm going to be even more busy now.
Meet Dela - she's a five-year-old Australian Shepherd rescue. Blue merle (dappled) coloring, with only a very faint creamy tan flash. And very striking heterochromia eyes - only the bottom half of her left eye is blue.
She was a breeder mom in a puppy mill - so right now she has no idea how to be a dog. We are working hard on figuring out how to potty in the yard and walk on a leash. Taking her to my vet tomorrow and getting her teeth looked at - they look terrible. Also getting her stitches out from being spayed. Luckily, she isn't entirely unsocialized; she's a bit of a velcro dog - if I stand up, she stands up. If I go in the bathroom, she goes in the bathroom; sort of like having a toddler LOL. But better than not trusting people at all!
Needless to say, there was not much needlework this week. (Though I did meet my full coverage goal for November.) Knitting is a bit easier to pick up and put down, so I did get the new hat up to the crown decreases. I don't have any of the labels done, so I'm going to do the donation next week and should have this finished by then, too.
So nice to meet your newest family member—-hi Dela! My daughter’s dog goes everywhere with her too…
