As long as it fits!

I finally got a picture of the red sweater I made for Spock from my own pattern!  Except, you'll notice that Spock has...grown.  And is now black and white.  And is no longer a boy...

That's because this is Micah Sue, one of my mother in law's chihuahuas.  She came to my MIL in pretty sad shape - well, my shape really.  Super-chunky.  She's one of the sweetest dogs I've ever been around in my life, and though she can't get up on the couch by herself (she's just too portly - something we're working on) if you pick her up and put her next to you she gets SUPER EXCITED and hoists her super-sized frame over your leg and will just pant and make happy noises for hours.  Every few minutes she'll bring up her itty bitty leg and smack it down on your knee, reminding you she's there (in case you've forgotten) so you can love on her.

I knew Spock's sweater was too large for him, but I really had no idea it would fit Micah.  She was the only one of the 'little' dogs that didn't have her own sweater.  Now she's got a custom made one.  It could not possibly fit her any better - even if I'd made it specifically for her (Hell, if I'd made it specifically for her it probably wouldn't have fit her as well!)

I'm really thrilled that one of the dog can wear this and it makes me feel good that Micah has something special, just for her.  She (unintentionally...I *think*) gets left out sometimes when my mother in law is showering the pups with attention and Paul and I have been giving her extra loveys on the side.  She deserves it - she's a very sweet girl!




Bonus Monorail Doggie picture:

So, again, an update with no pictures.

I mainly just wanted to post because:

• My friend James really wants some stranded colorwork pouches for his xbox 360 and PS3 controllers.  The yarn came yesterday so I can finally start planning them!  One's going to have a Decepticon on it, the other, an Autobot.  (From Transformers, if you have no idea what those are.)
• I went to The Spinster yesterday and bought some fiber to spin!  It's gorgeous, and maybe I'll actually take pictures of that.

My stupid laptop screen keeps whiting out when I type, presumably from jostling the whole thing.  Well, it whites out for absolutely no reason when I'm not even touching it too.  I'm assuming there's a short from opening and closing it so much.  I need to have that fixed, because it really, really pisses me off when I'm in the middle of doing something, to have to restart the damned thing.

Things are still in transition here and I feel like we're not getting enough done.  I'm trying not to think about it much though.

That's all.
