I and many other people will always be grateful to those who urged you on and helped you in getting your blog going.<BR/><BR/>You do realize I make my living in the business of convincing people to spay and neuter their pets? It's never the wrong decision. Your pet will live a longer, healthier life, free from reproductive diseases and related illnesses. Nonetheless, naturally you are worried about her discomfort, so I'll keep the little dear in my thoughts.<BR/><BR/>Keep her on a low activity level and indoors (except for potty) for about a week and keep the wound area clean with hydrogen peroxide. <BR/><BR/>LOVE the yarns and the Potomatus socks and Torc Falls. The grey background just shows off the subtle green in those socks.<BR/><BR/>Congratulations again on your blog day! I cannot express how much I have vicariously enjoyed your knitting, the Irish countryside, your pets, your travels and your yarns. Thank you so much for bringing a little bit of happiness to me and many others every week.Dez Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786093691926252698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30877720.post-85335051277945991942007-07-10T15:05:00.000+01:002007-07-10T15:05:00.000+01:00Happy Blogiversary!

You're right, she's most deserving; she regularly has me falling out of my chair!<BR/><BR/>Sending good thoughts for Sophy for an easy time of it and a quick recovery.<BR/><BR/>As to linking - you have put in links before, so I'm presuming (hoping) you know how to work Blogger's 'click this button and insert a link' when you're making a post? Once you find that button, the rest is simple. Easiest way to get a URL for the link is to copy it from the page it's on, or from a bookmark you have. Say you're at someone's blog, like Ms. Knitingale's. Hover your mouse over the title of the post you want to link to. Use your right mouse button to right-click on the title (because it is, in fact, a link). Whether you have a Windows PC or a Mac, a little pop-up menu will come up that has some equivalent to 'copy link location'. (It depends on what browser you're using, too. Just look for 'copy' somewhere in there.) Click on that line. Voila; your link is copied perfectly. Go back into the post you're making; select the text you want to make into a link; click on the 'make a link' button; when the box for inserting the link addy comes up, just paste the usual way, or right-click in the field and select 'paste'. Click OK and you're done! You've just whapped a link into your post.<BR/><BR/>You can do this with any link you can hover a mouse over. And it solves that pesky problem of making sure you manage to copy everything from your browser's address bar, or ghu forbid, typing it manually.<BR/><BR/>Happy linking, too! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30877720.post-80678336560345068952007-07-10T03:26:00.000+01:002007-07-10T03:26:00.000+01:00Happy Blogiversary!

I've enjoyed reading along with your adventures immensely.<BR/><BR/>I'm confident all will go well for Sophy (Ive had three dogs have that done with no issues whatsoever), but I will keep her in my thoughts anyway. She's adorable, so it will be a pleasure as well as a privilege.<BR/><BR/>I'm happy to help with any technical stuff I can - I'd do just about anything to get that smock pattern available.

Rats, here we go again.<BR/><BR/>First, thank you for a year of blogging, sharing your life and your knitting and your humor (and Richard's photos). It is us who should be sending you presents. I found you very, very early on, went back to read every single post (highly recommended to readers who missed the yarn brawl in Kosovo/Bosnia) and haven't missed a posting since. You were posting daily in those days!<BR/><BR/>Celtic Memory's Torc Waterfall paints nature with yarn. And the colorful line-up in the the garden drying would warm the cockles of any fiber fiends heart.<BR/><BR/>Now those Pomotamus are fabulous, gorgeous, incredible and totally desirable. Did I mention sexy on that well-turned ankle? They would be proper stockings for a leprechaun queen, so perhaps you should keep an eye on them when they are in the garden. So glad that you mentioned a second pair.<BR/><BR/>Still trying to catch my breath from laughing over at Ms. K's. Ummmm, what exactly is an airing closet?<BR/><BR/>Elton John a grateful client? We must compare notes, my dear.<BR/><BR/>Which brings us to precious darling Sophy Wackles who is only little. I shall certainly be thinking of her tomorrow and please let her know that. What an expression that bitty girl has! Do let us know when you have her back home safely and all is well. Victoria is so right, if we all cared more about the little ones, the world would be a better place.Angelunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16333889782201425122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30877720.post-1144091677001502732007-07-09T20:24:00.000+01:002007-07-09T20:24:00.000+01:00Oh, I found her!http://floknit.blogspot.com/ the ...Oh, I found her!<BR/>http://floknit.blogspot.com/ the story you mention is the second one down.<BR/>Thank you for posting about this, I enjoyed reading her blog very much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30877720.post-61680649722362793762007-07-09T20:13:00.000+01:002007-07-09T20:13:00.000+01:00Happy Blogiversary Jo!
