My husband (another Ian) gets very cross when a piece is missing and when I get puzzles from Oxfam he says he won't do them. You can guess what happens.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08193395027474680289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-5187485860555806182010-09-28T08:41:25.043-07:002010-09-28T08:41:25.043-07:00Poor Buster!

We actually have coyotes in the Chicago area -- Paul sees them in the volleyball area at his work in the 'burbs on a regular basis.<br /><br />The scarf is just gorgeous!

I got up to look at the caller ID and it said Opinion Poll. This is why I don't answer my phone anymore! We think alike for sure.<br /><br />I love the yarn you dyed. The colors are beautiful! You always do such lovely dyed stuff. <br /><br />Sorry about the puppy's toe. I know that must have been painful for everyone involved. Hopefully you got a nap in to catch up on your lost sleep.vlb5757https://www.blogger.com/profile/05444876262831798051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-34659066698266678472010-09-27T07:49:46.809-07:002010-09-27T07:49:46.809-07:00Chile powder is a good blood stopper in pinch.

The claw will grow back just fine.<br /><br />Very scary about the coyotes. Ceili went chasing after one once - I got in the car to try to find her since she employed her "selective hearing disorder." I found her over a mile away!<br /><br />I totally understand the puzzle thing - just one more piece...Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08421589409738817614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-36587629766410485742010-09-27T03:27:18.660-07:002010-09-27T03:27:18.660-07:00Oh my, what a lot of interesting stuff.

Make sure that the nail hasn't gone down to near the bone. An infection can easily travel into it and then it's a BIG problem. If he's still bleeding you might want to hold off on the aspirin, it is a blood thinner and very hard on their stomachs and kidneys to boot.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574936988046982209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-67787075311199177502010-09-26T15:06:39.860-07:002010-09-26T15:06:39.860-07:00Poor Buster!

That has to hurt.<br /><br />The scarf is lovely and so is the yarn for your proposed vest.<br /><br />Puzzles: We always have one going the week between Christmas and New Years. A jigsaw puzzle is like potato chips to a couple of mechanical engineers, especially if the weather is bad. No one can walk past it without putting in a piece or two.<br /><br />Scary about the coyote couple. One can only hope they were more interested in their mate than in being a predator. But then that raises the spectre of more little coyotes....Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16226371437929271405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-33326660231983703782010-09-26T07:38:13.502-07:002010-09-26T07:38:13.502-07:00Don't you just hate it when a puzzle is missin...Don't you just hate it when a puzzle is missing some pieces?
