I was minding my own business working on Christmas ornaments when I heard peals of laughter downstairs. Then my phone pinged.
No harm was done to the project...just a few rows were unraveled...by the way this is a pink and white shell stitch afghan that I am making to stash away in case someone has a little girl someday. Shell stitch is one of my favorite stitches. Just to give you perspective I crocheted a soft green afghan in shell stitch for Savannah back in 1996...another some years later and yet another one that I gave her last summer.
And Sadie does what all good Golden Retrievers do...she retrieves.

I had two retrievers living in my house at one time. It was hilarious. Missy would bring me my running shoes and Nike would bring me a leash she pulled off a doornob. Sometimes there would be some teeth marks in it when they were young, as they grew older, they got better at it! Sweet!
ReplyDeleteI had a retriever once that would retrieve the socks right off of my feet!
ReplyDeleteI love Sadie! Such a good girl.

Goldens usually have a soft, gentle mouth...here's proof positive. My, but she was proud of herself!
ReplyDeleteShe was just helping you out!
ReplyDeleteFunny Sadie, she just wants to help. :) I've had a grandchild do that....and since I have only one, you know which one it was.
ReplyDeleteShe really does look happy. My guess is she is thinking, "She frequently has this in her hand or lap. She probably forgot it. Let me take it to her. She will appreciate I did that for her."
ReplyDeleteOr she thought, "Her hands are always on this. Let me see if she left those behind and I can still be petted."
Sadie is such a beautiful woman. I am thankful you get to enjoy her company.
I read recently about a lady who finished a big project. Her daughter’s puppy chewed a hole in it. You were lucky. Sadie’s probably passed the chewing stage but I bet she could make good tangles!
ReplyDeleteObviously, Sadie is such a good girl and was just helping you. I'm glad little harm was done by her assistance.
ReplyDeleteSome lucky baby ... the dog just wanted to check to see if you were crocheting it properly. (grin)
ReplyDeleteClever Sadie!! My daughter's young retriever loves to retrieve socks in particular.
ReplyDeleteThat HUGE SMILE on her face says it all!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first began reading I thought Sadie had learned how to open zippers :)
ReplyDeleteI suppose it's possible. One of my grandkitties has learned to open doors ( but only the kinds that have handles not knobs.)
She's very proud of herself. So happy to have retrieved your project for you. I'm sure it smells like Grandma, one of her favorite people.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

LD.....That dog is so wonderful. She thinks she did a good thing getting it out for you. I remember when our poodle Button grabbed a check for three thousand and ran around the room with it.
ReplyDeleteMy son's dog would always have underwear in his mouth walking nonchalant around the house! It was always so funny! He would always look out of the corner of his eye at us but he'd keep walking!
ReplyDeleteGood dog! I guess?
ReplyDeleteDogs can get into mischief some time.
