I have been working on this blanket for a month or so. It was an easy pattern and I really loved the cotton yarn. My friend K tells me it reminds her of bricks. From there she thought of the wise third little pig, whom legend holds built his house of bricks. :-) Hence, the name.

Of course, anytime I spread anything out on the floor, the dogs think I have laid out a nice new bed for them. I had to shoo them both off numerous times. Which led Moxie, the jokester, to try putting her nose under the blanket. And my hurried laying the blanket out means that the pictures look all crooked. I really don't think it is that bad in person, but I haven't blocked it yet. So....who knows.
Since Moxie just got spayed yesterday, I am glad to see her seeming to feel better. Last night she laid around groaning in her sleep. She seemed dazed and confused. Bailey sniffed Moxie head to toe when she got home and has generally been gentle with her. Ever the long-suffering big sister, she only too kindly offered to finish Moxie's dinner last night (perhaps she is one of the 3 little pigs) and I had to kindly turn down that offer on Moxie's behalf. Today, she has seemed more herself, although somewhat slower than usual, but rather happy-go-lucky for 24 hours post-op. She will be feeling 100% better long before her shaved "poodle arm" from the IV will grow back. Gotta love that look! Good things dogs don't care about stuff like that!
Now, here's hoping one of the several pregnant women I know (or the one's I am crossing my fingers for lately) will have a girl so they can have the Three Little Pigs blanket a good home. And an excuse to do another pink blanket would be great. I am tired of blue for a while.
