Gotta love having a dog. Where else am I going to find someone who’ll sit on my knitting and try to (playfully) bite my hand when I attempt to rescue it
#for whatever reason mabel was so delighted/amused/generally whelmed by my attempting to dust the living room this afternoon that she decided#to have a manic zoomies#we playfought and bounced around together and she ran upstairs a couple of times to heavy-breathe at me from above#but then she decided it would be a fantastic idea to leap on the sofa where i’d (stupidly) left my very intricate colourwork project#and assume a play stance while planting her butt directly on it#when i tell you i went through all five stages of grief#right from denial (‘she’s not Actually on my knitting? is she?’) to anger (‘for god’s sake mabel why would you destroy the one thing in this#room that i care about that isn’t yourself’) to bargaining (‘okay if i can just get it out from under her butt… ow! oh you naughty little#bugger!’) to depression (‘well that’s ruined. i’m never going to make one of those mittens without Something stupid happening am i?’)#to acceptance (‘oh none of my stitches came off the needles and she doesn’t seem to have been prodded in the butt. good!’)#my yarn is definitely a bit dishevelled now but the project itself is fine#i’m just reallllly glad i switched from those bamboo dpns i was using earlier because if she’d snapped one it would’ve been my 13th reason#imagine me calling the vet. ‘hey yeah my dog has a broken knitting needle embedded in her skin. no i didn’t stab her with it. what kind of#dog is she? patterdale terrier. yeah she’s blockheaded. sure i’ll hold’#she tests my patience every day. i would die for her#personal
