Just a bit of this and that!
Last Week's This and That
More stress last week as you can see in the last post...
But I've got a bit of good news to start the week off....
After we rescued the dogs, they were so adorable that I joked to my friend - do you think their owner would notice if there was one less???!!! We both laughed, and then later she repeated my joke to the owner...
Guess what???
She was so thankful that we rescued her babies that she offered one to me!!
You see, they have been breeding them, but her husband is quite unwell and this incident has made her realize that she needs to downsize... so, long story short, this little girl had another trip in another strange car:
I'd like to introduce you to Sylvie! The new member of our family!!!
She is a purebred Blenheim Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and absolutely gorgeous!
We've been shopping, to get her a leash, and a special seatbelt thing so that she will be safe in the car, and a bed, and... and... and.... 🙂 We haven't had a dog in a long time!
The poor thing is still very traumatized... in the space of less than a week her owners had to evacuate without her, then she got "dognapped" to save her from the fire that was only meters away, sent to a strange kennel, and then now to a strange house...
She is very used to "her" bed now:
It's right next to her new daddy's chair so she can get pats...
She also likes to sit on her new mummy's lap and snuggle...
on a quilt of course....!
She is such a cutie, and hopefully she will soon be settled and happy in her new home...
Oh, I might add, she likes to sleep in bed with us at night... ahem - I think DH is going through a late midlife crisis - growing up on a farm he's sworn that dogs belong outside and certainly NOT on a bed!!! I think this little princess has stolen his heart because she is going to have her own spot on our bed from now on!!!
Fires Update
The fires are still burning out of control, and just this morning there was a warning for another fire started on the very road where the dogs live... we are so glad we got them out in time!
We are still getting warnings many times a day of new fires, and the air has been thick with smoke..
This coming Wednesday is going to be another terrible fire day with warnings like this:

I won't be going to work for the next two days, just hunkering down and we will be prepared to leave if need be.... Let's hope and pray it won't be as bad as they think it will be....
This Week's This and That
Well, like last week, I don't have much planned. Since I am not working, I am hoping to get some sewing done on our 2024 BOM...
Other than that I will be playing with Sylvie, and praying for the fires to die down.....
If you think this blog has turned into a bushfire and dog blog, don't despair, I should be back to blogging about my regular things soon!!!!
I've extended our sales are till the end of the month:
Have a great week and if you are also in bushfire season, please stay safe!! Oh, and kisses from Sylvie:
