Such a beautiful photo, totally mood lifting and happy to be your twin.
Not screwed but free to wear GMs leisurely. This looks AMAZING on you!Sotd. I’m not sure I like a new realization I made today due to the fact that it now means I could technically buy more csgms because I could wear them more often over all my chunky sweaters. Realization is that I can wear csgms just as accessories thrown over a sweater/coat and don’t have to be “styled” like a 90 or even care so much about colors by my face complimenting my complexion. So…..basically I am TOTALLY screwed now

Thank you!I’m sure he’s got the heart of a tiger! The colors in your scarf are deliciously moody!
They’re a great three season layer. Just go with a lighter weight top in the spring and fallOh boy. This may have unlocked something I can’t contain haha. We shall see. I am REALLY smitten w rayures scsgm in pink/blue. It’s such a cool vibe.
I restricted my csgm’s for cost per wear being so low because I have such a hefty winter wardrobe I rarely used them. I guess I was just thinking of them as utilitarian for warmth with added benefit of colorful style. I am cuckoo obviously for not seeing this sooner haha. I have 7, we’ll see if it grows![]()

Are racoons considered as household companions ?Thank you all for the awesome mod shots and closeups and most of all pet pix! Tomorrow we’re broadening our ‘paws’ theme to cover other furbabies and scalebabies and featherbabies (Bobbie, get ready for your star turn!). Dogs and cats and bunnies are not the only four-legged household companions, after all!
Luc has the most soulful eyes- a real smart darling! So sorry for your loss of lovely Heidi.And, here is my darling Gentleman Dog… my dear Luke

Good afternoon, Pet Lovers! It is Mardi Gras Season in New Orleans and in just under ten days I will be back in town and ready to mask up (in the best way) for parades and parties and king cake galore. Today my SOTD is Colliers de Chiens-- a scarf full of much fancier dog collars than my pets normally wear, but here is a photo of my two beloved Portuguese Water Dogs (of blessed memory) at our last Mardi Gras together in 2020 before the Covid-Apocalypse. They were always the best sports and ready for anything. Pure joy.

Ike looks like a major player and a winner!After 10 days toiling over an appeallate brief and further deteriorating my eyesight reading a voluminous record, I was seeing red, and so I wear it. Mediterrane, 90 cm with a red contrast hem. No canines et carré in my collex, and no bunnies or other mammals other than those that Oliver may have stashed in Texas Wildlife.
From I friend, I understand a Welsh Terrier was in the Westminster Dog Show. My boy Ike is perpetually miffed that he never got to play in the big leagues, but the food's better here, and he's got endless venues in which to snooze or survey his domain.

Thank you @EtsyBoss. He’s a giant teddy bear. Who has been bigger than me since he was six months old! He still thinks he’s a baby and is very generous with his kissesThank you @Lellabelle and so glad to hear your big guy is doing all right and giving kisses. Mastiffs are such loving gentle giants. I thought my newfie was a big girl at 130 pounds / 60 kilos.
most welcome @Naessi . The first time I tried to find them all it took forever! I've gotten quicker, and am happy to share. it was a welcome distraction yesterday.@Lellabelle - Thank you for this post! Nice touch with the spoiler feature!
thank you so much @Snausages , Elsa and Maple! Ours to you too. Yes, I've been overwhelmed with worry for the last few days, but he’s eaten a little bit of roast chicken today, which is good. He’s obviously very sore, but bearing it well. He’s such a sweet boy xxxOh you must have been terrifiedElsa and Maple send lickeykisses for a speedy recovery
And, now I love JB even more!This is one of the so charming aspects of his work! I don’t believe Kluska is in VE. A friend met him and he drew a Kluska in one of the carriages on her VE and signed it.
Jan Bajtlik also wrote and illustrated a children’s book of Greek Mythology - I’ve not hunted in it for Kluska yet!
oh my goodness, Elsa and Maple are just gorgeous, @Snausages ! Such beautiful happy facesElsa chasing Maple chasing a ball.

And so, my Silken Sisters and Brothers, I ask you to show me your pups! Bonus points for showing your real life doggaroonis!
Thank you so much, @Cookiefiend and Coco! Smooches received with thanks. Right back at you❤️❤️❤️
I’m so glad he’s doing well.
Sending you both hugs, and Coco sends smooches.
Grail alert! Scotties are sweet, quirky little dogs and always full of character. Your cross stitch is a perfect match with the scarf!I have fond memories of growing up with Scottish Terriers.

beautiful shawl, but your Newfie girl completely steals the show! I love Newfs; they have the sweetest temperaments and do look like playful black bears! She’s a beauty indeed. Those eyes!SOTD for me is Peuple Du Vent which is full of all range of animal friends, mostly furry though some feathered and some scaled. I could not find a bunny. My favorites on it today are a dog, an organ grinder / working monkey (Monkeys!), and a cat.
My newfie briefly joined me in my office this morning where I have the fireplace cranked because it's such a cold day here. She pressed her nose against the cold window as long as possible before she gave up after about 2 minutes and requested an 'out' to lounge on the freezing cold concrete instead. Thank you for sharing your *gorgeous* colorway of Early America @Croisette7! I always love seeing the girl riding the giant fluffy dog along the border. Newfies must be the dog featured on Early America. It makes me giggle recollecting all the many people who have commented about how you could 'put a saddle on that one!' Newfies are working dogs, bred to rescue people who fell overboard boats in the icy water surrounding Newfoundland, Canada.
And @Snausages! Your field spaniel scarf is another design I always enjoy seeing. My doggo before my newfies was an all black field spaniel. Happy memories!

Thank you so much, dear @Living.la.vida.fifi . I really appreciate your kind comments. We adore him and I'm so relieved he’s home. He’s just a wonderful boy and we’re so lucky to have him in our lives.Thank you so much for all the kind comments… And, dear @Lellabelle, I am so glad that all went well for your baby!
me too! I‘ve had all kinds of pets. furred, feathered and scaled! Coco is so beautiful. Please send her our love too!It’s true - I love dogs.
I grew up with cats (parakeets, raccoons, Guinea pigs, and hamsters have all been pets), as my father didn’t like dogs, and I love cats too - but dogs? I just love them - but especially my own Coco.

‘pure joy’ sums up this picture perfectly, dear @LKBNOLA. What a wonderful photo and precious memories indeed. Their Mardi Gras collars are so much fun and they look ready to party with mum! Sending much love and puppy kisses to you and the newest furry family member. They really are a blessing. XoxoxoGood afternoon, Pet Lovers!

haha, yes. The bigger the better! We only have the one now as his brother passed a few years ago, but we used to have two. When you are greeted by a combined 350lbs of love, you KNOW you are loved!Oh to have a dog big enough to ride!
Thank you so much @Stylehound ! The kind thoughts and wishes from all here have been such a comfort. Sending love and snuggles to your dear pup, too! Please post a pic if you like. XoxoI hope your doggie’s surgery went well, dear @Lellabelle!
Fingers and paws crossed for your boy in our home!

Thank you Snausages. I've never done brooches although I've completed a number of cross stitch bookmarks.Excellent selections @orchard ! Your cross stitch magnet is adorable - have you ever done brooches?!
Yup - you belong to Table now!It rained every day before and during the Lunar New Year. So today, I'm bundled up for warmth in Bajtlik's Les As du Volant. Kluska is somewhere in this demolition derby melee.

And the tale of Table. She appeared a few years ago, meowing every evening for food at the Opposite Neighbour's gate. One night, ON was out and she meowed at me when I happened to step out for my evening walk. I gave her a handful of kibble. After that, she would come to our gate for a 2nd round of dinner every night. I never let her through the gate because Neighbour's Cat was in residence and very territorial. They hissed at each other through the fence.
After my evening walk, I would deliberately pause outside the gate to cool down. We would pretend not to notice each other. I'd drop some kibble near my foot and she would suspiciously creep over. After some weeks, she would rub herself against my calf in greeting, but hiss if I tried to touch her. I would look down at her and she would be this rectangular block of fur on 4 stubby legs. Hence the name TableAfter Neighbour's Cat went over the rainbow bridge, Table moved in and is now best friends with DS1. Here she is, doing the glamcat pose.
