Out of Room at the Rancho....

Happy Sunday!!

So....we went from a dog-free home to a full house in two weeks.  LOL  First, hubby was gifted with Daisy.  Very sweet, small Australian Shepard.  I don't think I'm her favorite, but she will lay with me as I am stitching.

Then, late Friday afternoon, I got a call from a friend of a friend.  He is involved with a rottie rescue group up in the Stockton area.  He had heard from the group that a family was looking to place their two year old male, but it had to be by Sunday.  They had been trying to re-home him for a month, but everyone wanted a puppy.  We were off on a quick road trip...

And here is Moses...



He is very sweet, kinda trained.  He knows how to sit, how to wait, he is housebroken.  When you start to pet him, he flops over for a belly rub.  He gets along well with Daisy, so I think this will work. I have to admit, he seems to be a man's dog.  Went right up to my husband, flopped over, and raised all four legs in the air for a good rub.  Guess I'm not going to be anyone's favorite for a while.  LOL But it will be okay.  They both needed a family and we needed dogs to love.  Moses still hasn't reached full size, so I think we're looking at 120 pounds based on the size of his feet and head.  LOL I will be having him neutered as soon as possible...I don't want to add anymore animals to the world. Oh, and Moses is a closet knitter...well, more like a closet un-knitter.  And guess what? He loves natural fibers just as much as me!!  These two skeins of alpaca/merino will never be the same.  Sigh. I think the blue made it through with minimum damage, but Moses was very careful to chew the white into twelve inch lengths.  I think the only thing I can use it for now is...fringe.  LOL   Oh, and he didn't even touch the skein of acrylic that was right next to them on the table.


Next, it is Fair time here in SLO county.  My sweet husband managed to score some tickets to a Garth Brooks concert!!!  He had seen him once, me...never.  Very excited.  Since he picked up four tickets, we took my sister and stepson.  IT WAS AWESOME!!

                                                 


The true stars of the show...Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood...I would definitely see them again if I had a chance.  I always say that his song "I Got Friends in Low Places" is my work theme song....LOL


Here is the update on my stitching.  I'm still planning to be finished by tomorrow!!


My sister and I leave this afternoon for LA.  She has an out-patient procedure tomorrow, so I can stitch while I'm waiting to drive her home!!

Wishing each of you a wonderful week.  Be kind to one another.

    1. I couldn't ignore his big brown eyes. LOL Daisy is a sweetie, but she is like a ninja! I like to hear a dog as he walks across the kitchen. She is just plain sneaky. LOL And yep, I was very clear that if I took Moses, he would be neutered. I don't want to bring more animals into the world, there are too many left to suffer.

    1. LOL My special place will probably be in the carpet cleaning area...I'm getting really good at that! We had a blast...but I didn't make it to bed until 11 pm, then back up at 4 am. I'm a little old to be that much of a party animal. LOL

  4. OMG you lucky dog... Uh, but think that Moses is the LUCKY DOG. I adopted a male Rottie when he was 3 years 7 mos. He was also the submissive boy who would belly up and loved his belly rubbed.

    Ben is now 9 years old and am hoping for a few more healthy years. You and hubby are lucky Angela.

    1. Don't you just love rotties? They look so big and vicious, then they just roll over and want hugs!! My Daisy has him completely in line...she will go up and snatch anything he's got in his mouth...ball, bone, whatever. Oh, and he tried to stick his head in her bowl. Ummmm, nope, not happening! LOL

  5. Hi, Moses looks like a great addition to the family and I hope he settles in well. We love having two rescued pets. I wish more people went that route when choosing an animal. Your stitching is moving right along...so nice. Love the quote. Went to a Garth Brooks concert once...or at least I think it was him...I was so far away and he was so tiny, LOL. Great selfies!

    1. I have a lot of friends that do rescue...one of them told me that she thinks rescues KNOW that you saved them and love you even more...maybe..who knows? After three days, he sure is showing a lot of love! I'm getting better at selfies, but I'm not showing the 50 pictures that I took to get these! LOL

  6. Who would have thought this. First one and now two dogs, lol. They will both be very happy at your place.
    Great stitching on your lovely piece. It's coming along great.
    Oh my, a concert with Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood. You have no idea how much I envy you :) It must have been soooooo great. I have a lot of their CDs (yes, I'm old and still listen to CDs, lol) and I love them all.
