Craft: Going to the Dogs

Sparky in his new coatIt’s becoming colder and colder in Australia, as winter quickly approaches. This means that I can get out my knitting needles and try to be creative in a different way.

Sparky, pictured to the left, has been my latest victim. In the photo, he is modelling his brand new coat. The look on his face clearly shows how much he loves it, but I can’t understand why he refuses to step outside the back door when he’s wearing it (probably doesn’t want the other dogs in the area to turn green with envy, which is very considerate of him). G is looking rather worried, as I have a fair bit of wool left over and he thinks I might be crazy enough to knit him a coat to match. Oh what fun I’ve had threatening exactly that! ;)

Multi coloured to match his fur and the colour of his eyes, the coat gives him extra warmth on a chilly morning. I overheard G promising to keep the other dogs at bay and he clearly said that no dog of his will be beaten to death, not while he’s around anyway. I don’t know what that’s all about, there must be trouble in the dog neighbourhood that I haven’t been told about.

Anyway, Sparky will be warm as toast the next time we take him on a long walk around town…and he looks so cute in it that I just want to give him a big cuddle.

    Well I think it is lovely! Sparky is just a little camera shy. I bet he was thinking how warm and comfy he was, and then this camera comes out! Damn paparazzi :)
