Have I mentioned lately that Alison is a goddess?
She is, and here I am to offer you yet more proof. Look what arrived in the mail today, for no reason at all other than that she is wonderful and generous:
Want to know what’s inside that sweet white packet? My very own piggy-nosed cat, created by Alison! (Get a load of those little elephants on her dress!)
The tag tells me that the piggy cat’s name is Cari-Abellamia Bella. Here’s what it says on her tag:
A retro kitty who takes design seriously, Cari-bella enjoys the cutting edge of the art world, machiattos at brunch, and walks through Central Park. She likes 2nd hand furniture, fresh pasta and cinnamon & licorice ice cream.
Let’s take a moment to admire the yarn, shall we? You know you want to. It’s from Marta’s. (Thanks for the link, Jacqueline!) Alison sent me some of the Flowers (the especially bumpy stuff) back when she was my anonymous secret pal last summer. It’s the very most delicious of yarns, this Marta’s stuff. Amazing colors. The photos can’t ever do it justice.
Oh…and the most important part: Hey, Alison! Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!!
Ok Ok – I hear your pain!

I live in Washington state with nine dogs, more than half of which are rescues. It was my dream to do this, and we have acreage so there is room for everybody. I have two pet cows also, and two cats and two macaws. The posts about Diego are of concern to me so I hope you keep us updated. Meanwhile, I tried to post before (where it went I don’t know) to tell you there is a really good list of newsletters at:
B-Naturals.com
You can buy vitamins and such there, but that’s not the main point of the site. It’s run by Lew Olson who has a Ph.D. in nutrition specializing in canine nutrition. Her newsletters are good, not crackpot stuff. With Diego taking antibiotics now and trying to regain his health it might be helpful to you to check it out. Please let us know how he is doing.
