Grandma Sat Down to Knit a Few Rows. Her Husky Got Wrapped Up in the Project.

AI imagesiberian huskyknittingliving room

Ruth is curled into the corner of a well-worn green sofa, needles clicking as she works on a cream-colored piece, glasses on and a patient little smile on her face. Beside her, Copper has made himself very much at home, and very much part of the project. Loops and strands of yarn are draped over his back, wound around his front legs and trailing across the cushions, with a pink ball of wool resting near his tail. Despite the tangle, he looks thrilled, mouth open in a wide, happy grin and striking pale blue eyes shining. A laundry basket, slippers and houseplants fill the cozy room behind them.

Those blue eyes are one of the Siberian Husky's signature features. Huskies can have brown eyes, blue eyes, one of each, or even eyes that are part blue and part brown, and all of these are accepted as normal for the breed. Unlike in some other breeds, blue eyes in Huskies are not generally linked to hearing or vision problems on their own. The breed can, however, be prone to certain inherited eye conditions, so reputable breeders screen for them and owners are encouraged to keep up with regular checkups. As for the yarn, it is best kept out of reach, since dogs can swallow long strands that may cause serious tummy trouble. If you think your dog swallowed yarn, talk to your vet.

Ruth's knitting may need a little untangling, but Copper's grin suggests he would happily help again tomorrow.
