I had lots of great comments on the previous post. Mo, however, had other things to tell me about his new outerwear.
Knitting confessions: This is Mo’s second sweater. The first one I knit was a bit too big. A bit = him constantly coming out of his sweater. This is because I failed to check my gauge – not only that, but I didn’t bother even measuring him, let alone the sweater.
Thinking I have learned from past mistakes, I make him another sweater. I measured him and the size of the Granny Squares. The coat was a bit too long from his neck to his tail, but I also had to work within the framework of the squares, so to eliminate the last row would have made it too short. I decided to err on the side of too long. As you can see, I spent some time mulling this over and considering things.
Things I failed to consider — The Dark Underbelly of the Beast. foreboding organ music
Things to know about me — all animals in my house are female, except for Mo. I have two daughters and no sons. I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about “male” things. ahem ;)
Anywho, Mo came in from his morning ablutions in the back yard having pissed all over his sweater!!

POOR JOHN!
Let me guess the first doggy sweater went to Lucy? LOL! It was so big that Mo stepped right out of it (because truth be told,you secretly made it for LUCY!) Little Man Mo’s broken heart may never mend no matter how many sweaters he gets. Poor, sweet pup.
ME — you are a dirty girl and I’m going to tell your mother! ;)
and fyi, the sweater is not going to go to our Lu — you know that granny squares would not flatter her figure!
Perhaps the sweater isn’t too big at all. Perhaps MoMo is seriously conflicted about the amount of attention Lu gets and is somehow taking his frustrations out on your crochet creation for he has no other voice! Are you LISTENING to your MoMo? Are you hearing what he is saying? Is not losing that eye (coincidentally like Lu did!–do you really believe in coincidence?) just a cry for attention? PS open YOUR heart! MoMo is pleading with you! Pay attention! For dire consequences may await if you heed not!
please don’t forget that you have some sweet kitties and that NIC is every bit male
