Grandma Dot Was Knitting a Scarf. Waffles Decided to Help in Her Own Way.

AI imagecorgiknittingyarn

Grandma Dot sets out to knit a cozy scarf and ends up with an extra helper wrapped in string. She sits in her gray cardigan and blue top, glasses on, smiling down at her needles. Waffles has rolled onto her back in front of her, paws in the air and cream colored yarn criss crossing her chest, legs and ears like a web. Baskets of gray and white yarn balls sit nearby, a plaid blanket drapes over the couch, and scissors, a glass of water and a notepad rest on the floor. Waffles looks perfectly content.

Yarn and string fascinate many pets, and it is easy to see why. The moving strand looks like something to chase, and it smells like their person. The problem is that swallowed yarn or thread can cause serious blockages, so it is best never to let a dog chew it or eat it. Keep loose strands tidy, put the basket out of reach when you step away, and offer a safe toy for tugging instead. If your dog does swallow string, call your vet promptly.

Dot keeps smiling, which says a lot about how she feels about the situation. Waffles is a very soft and very loopy kind of helper. The scarf will get finished eventually, probably after one more careful untangling, and neither of them seems worried about the schedule. Some of the best projects come with a few knots.
