IMAG0932 I realize that by the looks of things around here one might think that I had only  one dog.  In fact, I have three:

  1.  Bridget, a shepherd mix
  2.  Lucy, a fawn pug
  3. Poe, the black pug

Only one of them sits in my lap and as a result is frequently in picture range.  Lucy and Bridget are older, more refined ladies who are happiest with an occasional scratch and then prefer to nap in peace and quiet.  Away from little black pugs and viewfinders.

Somehow, even if I am trying to be all casual about it acting like I’m just on the phone or looking something up – they always seem to know that I am taking their picture.  And then they throw me dirty looks and move away or out of the position of unbearable cuteness!

So the blog is black pug heavy as a result.

but OMG how damn cute is he????

the plarn truth ….

plarn betta

A betta fish made from plarn.

This was a quick, easy and fun project. The only downside was all the static electricity generated – that was annoying.  This project calls for those very thin bags – the kind that are in the vegetable aisle at the market – to make it look authentically fishy.  I wonder if plarn from the usual checkout bags isn’t quite as filled with static since it is thicker.

Have I yet displayed the depth of my lack of understanding of electrical properties?

Anyway for anyone who is interested in a truly care free pet:
