Enigmatic Newt is still on his merry go round. Seems to be upswinging since midnight last night. No drool, decent appetite, but … you knew there was a “but,” didn’t you? He’s half crouchy, not attacking his snackies with his typical gusto, and still quiet.
So, not a “bad day” but not a great day for him either. Going on ten days now for him, being “half in, half out.” (Any Constantine fans out there? LOVED that quote about cats LOL) And so goes another cycle in the life of a liver shunt cat.
Am being naughty today. Very close to finishing tax prep, and was not going to start crocheting the cat bed for WARL to celebrate Petey’s adoption until finished. But, had to get a tire repaired, and no sense waiting there doing nothing, when I could create something, right? 
So I bundled together four skeins of various black and white yarns – Lion Incredible ribbon, Fun Fur (I think) some fuzzy thing with no label, and some leftover homespun. Grabbed my bigass speed hook and went to town. Already have about six inches completed from this pattern. Cool! Now I think I’ll take the dogs to the park so I can crochet in peace. Will finish the tax crap later today, I promise!
Am really enjoying Ravelry (maybe why the taxes aren’t done?!?!?) and was excited to find several knit / crochet – alongs for animal charity. Combine that with meeting Petey, and I’ve been itching to create a snuggle, a bed, something more challenging than a toy to donate. Am hesitant to do the snuggles, because my edges are always crooked. So, working in the round seems to be the answer, at least until I learn how to do this correctly. But, the fun fur is very forgiving, and the cats won’t care if I have crooked edges and dropped stitches, right?
Oops, gotta go, Newt is demanding snuggles.
