My new to me little darling Cricket spent most of the day yesterday at the vet’s office.  It would seem that her, ah, new to the doggy scene owner mistakenly gave her unrestricted access to a rawhide chew.  The result was a gluey rawhide mass in her tummy and a $500+ vet bill.

To deal with my anxiety (and guilt) while waiting for the vet’s call I opted for a “drop everything emergency knit”.  My poor little darling needed a sweater and I hadn’t knit one yet.  This was the time!  I selected a straightforward little number by Brian Herzog for speed and efficiency.

She practically jumped into the sweater, so it’s terribly funny to me that she’s looking so underwhelmed in these photos.  Maybe it’s because her bit of knitted love is not in purple.  Guess that means I’ll have to knit another!
