It seems so crazy for her to be lagging behind after a half mile. The two miles we used to walk never seemed to slow her down.

Poor poor Sydney! So, he&#8217;s still researching that, but in the meantime, she seems like she&#8217;s gonna live, so I can&#8217;t tell you how grateful I am for all the positive thoughts and prayers. If you would like to keep them up, we&#8217;d really appreciate it!!<br \/>\n<br \/>While waiting on her to get tests at the vets, I&#8217;ve worked on a sock while alone in the exam rooms. It seems terribly morbid being that it&#8217;s a plain black sock, but actually, it was exactly what I needed:<br \/>\n1. Mindless knitting.<br \/>\n2. Pattern that The Husband is willing to wear.<br \/>\n3. Using gift yarn that I could never make socks for myself with because I&#8217;d go blind trying to read the stitches with my favorite complicated patterns (if you&#8217;re a non-knitter, stitches in black sock yarn are VERY hard to see).<br \/>\n4. Color TH is willing to wear (choices were black or white).  :)<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_2798\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_3334.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2798\" src=\"http:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_3334-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"The Husband&#039;s sock\" title=\"IMG_3334\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2798\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_3334-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_3334-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_3334.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2798\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">haven&#039;t put the afterhought heel in yet, so, this is my foot<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nThis project came about at exactly the right time so now, I officially believe in knitting fate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, my girl&#8217;s home and she seems ok.
