My animals usually follow me around the kitchen, but not usually three at once. Izzy seemed curious about the fuss over fallen cheese. She was not impressed.
Whatcha got?

Testing spindles
The best way to see how a spindle design performs is to use it. I still think the current version of my 3D printed spindle is too large, but I’m giving it a try anyway. I can spin fairly consistent yarn with it, but the single is slightly thicker than I get with a smaller spindle. I spin over a rug to give a little extra protection in case I drop it. No way would I take it on a walk. Spinning in the house also means that Missy presents me with a ball to kick, since obviously my hands are busy.
Couch buddies
Although she will occasionally, now that she is two, sleep on her own, Missy still prefers to have a couch buddy.
Puppy dog eyes
Today I present Missy’s natural kawaii eyes. No Photoshop, no tricks, well, I was holding her ball and she was staring at me intently until I threw it. That made it easier to snap the shot.
Blanket catch
A fuzzy blanket on the back of the couch is the favorite spot for both Izzy the cat and Missy the dog. But the blanket doesn’t stay there. Up and over the back of the couch is also Missy’s favorite race track path. (I still don’t quite understand how a 20 pound, stubby-legged dog can vault up and over the couch.) The blanket usually ends up on the floor behind the couch. Arg. So I’m trying a blanket stay. I took 1/2” elastic and wrapped it around the couch cushions (these cushions are not removable).
I pulled the elastic quite snug and tied it off, then tucked the tied ends into the cracks. The blanket then gets folded in half, slid under the elastic, and folded in half again.
When my youngest needs to wrap up in the blanket, it is easy to pull down, but so far I have not found the blanket on the floor, a victim of a high speed ball chase.
