How did I get him to sit still and not try to rip off the costume? Cookies. And the photo below shows how he was eagerly waiting to eat them.
Hope everyone has a great Halloween!

Happy Halloween!
I've been quite crafty but no time to post. Here is at least a couple of cute shots of Seamus in his Halloween costume.
How did I get him to sit still and not try to rip off the costume? Cookies. And the photo below shows how he was eagerly waiting to eat them.
Hope everyone has a great Halloween!

Knot Your Average Dog Toy
When you have a knotted mess of cheap yarn that isn't worth the time or aggravation to unknot - you can make a puppy very happy.

SHEEP!!!!
As I was going through my photos on the computer, I realized I never posted these cute ones of Seamus.
Yes - that is a stuffed green sheep. I found it at the grocery store (of all places) and just had to buy it for him. He loves it and he's able to get his mouth around the belly to squeak the squeaker.

Holiday Seamus
Proof that two weekends ago, I got Seamus to sit still long enough for a photo:
Isn't he just the cutest? And to answer the question in advance about how I got him to smile - I had a bunch of treats that I gave him when he sat still and looked at the camera (ye olde positive reinforcement trick). I think he was about to open his mouth and whine that he had not yet received a treat for doing the right thing. Hence, it looks like he's smiling.
Think he's uber cute? I do - so I entered him into Hallmark's cute dog photo contest. Click here to view and vote for him -- http://hhofdogcontest.com/node/2252.
Voting ends December 15, 2009 and winners will be announced late January 2010!
Feel free to pass this along to others to get Seamus some more votes or enter your own dog in the contest.
Here are a couple more from the photo shoot:

New Project: Seamus! ... and a Completed Project: Irish Flag Blanket
He arrived safe and sound (though mildly dirty and a bit discombobulated) on Friday afternoon. Sean and I had a wonderful time with him all day yesterday as he learned about his new home. He did a great job - with a few accidents here and there - but a lot of times he did his business on the wee-wee pads like a good boy. He is an affectionate little guy with a lot of spunk. Want to see him in action? I've set up a YouTube channel, The Crocheting Commuter, to show the videos. The channel has my blog name and my blog is about knitting and crocheting but the videos are about Seamus. Oh well. It works.
Here's his first video (you can check out the channel for more):
I thought I'd also share this Washington Post article which talks about getting a new dog and how it can affect the family. It's true - because I got up at 7:30 this morning (instead of sleeping in like so many Saturdays before) and I don't feel like I missed out on the sleep. I got to enjoy the morning sunshine with Seamus and play with him afterward. Now I'm enjoying his company as he sleeps by my feet and I'm typing away on the computer. All before 10 am - and I'm loving it. What did I ever do without this little guy?
I'm also happy to report that he loves his little Irish flag blanket, made to celebrate his Irish ancestry (from the human side, not the Yorkie or Maltese sides). Here are a couple of photos of him with it - one awake and one passed out.
I've got all the details on Ravelry, except the finished size. I haven't had a chance to pull it away from him to measure it.
So far, the craft room has been off limits to him so he doesn't attack the yarn. I'm hoping in the next few days to let him check it out. Keep your fingers crossed that he's a lover of yarn and not a destroyer of yarn. :)

A Cute Distraction
My knitting and crocheting has taken a backseat this past week and I'm guessing the distraction will increase even more in the next week or so.
Sean and I are getting a puppy!!! YAY!!!!
Here are some photos from the breeder. He's a Maltese-Yorshire Terrier mix, aka a Morkie. We're naming him Seamus (pronounced shay-mus).
WARNING!!! The following photos may be too cute for some readers.
He's about 5 or 6 weeks old in these photos and we have to wait until he's 9 weeks old to have him shipped on a plane. I cannot wait! We're keeping our fingers crossed we'll get him Memorial Day weekend. And while the majority of posts on the blog will still be about crocheting and knitting, there is going to be plenty of cute puppy posts, too!
