I noticed that I was going to introduce the rest of the crew and haven't yet. Well tonight's the night!
This is Mr. Gary Cooper. Although not an official rescue, we rescued Mr. Cooper from someone who was trying to find him a home. She was a nice lady who had taken him in from another woman, however, she lived in a small townhouse and had two kids and two cats. Trust me, I'm sure Mr. Cooper was too much. At the time, his name was Cooper. We added Mr. Gary to give him a touch of class. He is part cocker spaniel and part Golden Retriever. He has calmed down a great deal in the 18 months that we have had him. In this picture, he was on his first vacation at Hungry Mother's State Park in Marion Virginia.
Next to Mr. Gary Cooper is Mackenzie. She is Tuck's ( previous entry) little sister. However, they have very different personalities. She wrote the Siamese cat playbook. She cares for me and likes Tuck most of the time. She barely tolerates my husband and can't stand the dog. If I had waited to name her, until I got to know her I would have chosen Gray Ghost (thanks, Sandy) GG for short. She is like a ghost, you won't see her for a long time and then she'll appear and disappear quickly if the room is not to her liking. Not to her liking involves too much noise an too many people. Generally, she comes out in the evening and sits with me as I knit or read.
Well that's all for now. Remember, "life is not about waiting for the storm to end, it's about learning to dance in the rain. " ( I tried to find the origin of the quote but was unsuccessful, all I can say is that whoever said it first was a wise person.
Knitting update: working on the black shawl.
