Like the rest of the north east, it is bitterly cold here on Long Island. It seemed the perfect night to light a fire and sit and knit. Our fireplace is in the living room, but the room is without a tv. With my new ipod, that is no problem – I will listen to Cast On and knit away on my new sweater project. So there I am, all cozy and knitterly and the phone rings. Naturally I forgot to bring it with me into the living room and I have to get up and find it. This was the scene upon my return …..

Ott light & pug

A woman came running into the shop yesterday and said, “Do you see what’s going on across the street?!” Of course, I dropped everything and came running to see. And at first I couldn’t see what she was talking about. No mayhem of any kind. And I looked. And I looked.

Finally she told me to take a closer look.

Check out the top of that truck.

Do you see the dog? What I believe is a chocolate lab?

There he sat. Looking for all the world like a dog is supposed to be sitting regally on top of every car.

At this point there were a few of us staring at this dog and laughing, wondering how he got on top of the truck. We were making him nervous, so he got up, turned around and hopped back into the truck

through the sun-roof! (that just about killed us)

He actually pulled that stunt a few more times – he kept hopping back out to see if we were still there staring at him.
