Twinkle Twinkle

Hi everyone, Thank you so much for your appreciation over the years. Just to let you know I have relaunched the Roman Sock Shop and you can now find it at romansock.com.

I have been trying to develop a new elephant pattern for the last couple of days - but I just can't make it work! I have tried it every which way but it just looks rubbish! So instead, something that always looks beautiful.

My little Twinkle. He is doing very well at the moment even though he has a collapsing trachea - we have been following Cesar Millans tips to keep him calm and its working so well - he is almost a new dog. Playing hide the toy every day and even learning to look on the bottom of shelves. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks!

Intently watching

thinking - mainly about cheese!

dreaming - again probably about cheese!

This is the new bird feeding station that we have put into our little garden. We have had great tits, blue tits and this robin who is undeniably leader of the pack. If he is not on the station, he is hiding in the hedge next to it, or watching it from the tree across the street. His song is gorgeous even if he is a bit of a bruiser, when it comes to chasing other birds away.

Your dog is so cute, a collapsed trachea sounds serious! I love birds. The really cool ones don't come till summer here!

I did not realize that Twinkle was sick. he is so adorable. Brush him out and send over the fluff. I'll spin him into yarn for you. Give him a hug from Raggs!

There's the intrepid Twinks! What a darling face he has. Great pix, too. Sorry to hear about the collapsing trachea. That's associated with 'reverse sneezing,' which my dog has. We also use fun distractions to end the episodes. Have found that our grrl is allergic to faux whipped cream, which triggers these spells, so none for her. Hate to think it, but wonder if avoiding mucus-producing foods (dairy or cheese--perish the thought!), as some web sites recommend, might help. He sounds better already, though. May be that his recent adventures provided more than the usual excitment and that he will relax as he settles in. He has a lovely new home and a happier Mum, from the sound of it. Breathe easy, Twinkle. Thanks for the 'pupdate,' Brie.
