I haven’t posted anything with Flour for a while. She’s been learning new tricks:

Gratuitous Flour photo:

First , there was the balancing a treat on her nose trick. Then we take it up a notch: Balancing a treat on her nose while begging: I’m just so proud, the things she’ll do for food…

One of the quintessential dog tricks. Balance a treat on its nose. A total showing of good self restraint. This is G’s first attempt at this trick with Flour. She had a little trouble but managed to hold the pose for a few minutes. Enough to take photographic evidence. Look at how intently she’s looking [...]

Flour waits patiently for her kitty cookie. G made them himself. Theresa sent Flour the doggie cookie kit for Xmas and of course, G was good enough to make them for her out of real liver! I decided on an impromptu photo shoot. Many many minutes later, I had my photos. Flour still didn’t have [...]

When she was a puppy we took her for a puppy trim and it wasn’t a good cut. G decided we should just groom her ourselves. Since the winter she’s grown a lot of hair and was going to be too much work to cut for the warmer weather, so we sent her to the [...]

Here’s the most recent progress on the cross-stitch piece I’ve been working on. It’s really moving along. It’s so close to completion that I can taste it. Flour poses here nicely sitting but it took a while to stop her from tasting the cross stitch herself. It’s a good thing I’ll wash this one before [...]

ToysOnMyDog-1.jpg Yes, I was inspired by stuffonmycat.com. I couldn’t figure how the cats could stand it. But Flour was sleepy and willing to let me pile her toys on her.

We asked G’s friend John to take some photos us. This way, we can get some shots where Flour is in the same photo as G and myself. To date, most of the photos are of G and Flour since I’m the photographer of the family. Here’s one of Flour and I that I like, [...]

In case you haven’t checked Flour’s photo set of late, there’s some recent photos of Flour.

Back on September 17th, we went to join in the fun at the Westie Walk. It’s run by Westie Rescue of Canada and it’s a fundraiser for the group. Flour had so much fun and we did too hanging around 40 some Westies and their owners. There were games and Flour won a prize for [...]

I was away back in New York visiting my friends this past long weekend. While I was away, G took some photos of Flour. Here are the great photos: Look how dirty she is with those brownish paws. I’m the cutest dog ever! Expect to see some NY photos in future blog entries.

Here’s the photo of the sweater being worn. Very comfortable for the fall. And while I’m at it, let’s pose for a photo with Flour!

Finally got this one done. It’s all ready to be worn in this fall. Nice. The Details Pattern: Adrienne Vittadini Vol 15 Pattern #5: Cabled Sleeve Pullover. Yarn: Mission Falls 1824 Wool Colour: 002 Needles: #8 Denise circular Modifications: Not much, needed to extend the width of it by about 2 inches. Either it’s a [...]

She was good enough to sit for me for a few minutes while I photographed her last week. Here are the photos. Here’s a preview:

I made the effort of laying out the on going sweater for the blog. It’s nearly done. It’s getting to the stage where I’m about to decrease and start on the 2nd sleeve. But nothing in this house can be laid out on the carpet without a visitor coming by to check it out. We [...]

Flour was very bad and while I was working decided to attack a power cable. I was concentrating on work for a few minutes and then heard her growling. When I looked to see why, I discovered the badly chewed up cable; still plugged into both the power transformer of my hard drive and the [...]

So, been back for nearly a week now from the Taipei/Tokyo trip. Lots to fill you in here, but I’ve been under the weather due to a bad cold with jet-lag. It makes it all so much worst. I’m slowly coming back to regular health. There’s a lot to be done in terms of sorting [...]
