I couldn't resist this picture of our dog, Pepper.  Full grown, she weighs no more than 9 pounds, tends to be a little squirrely, barks for no apparent reason, but is lovable all the same.  Take, for example, how she didn't even notice the Chiquita Banana sticker my husband put on her nose:

It is appropriate, however, given that she had to be given a sedative today in order that we could bring her to the vet's office (where she also got to wear a muzzle), all to have her nails clipped.  She is the only dog I've ever had who has had a completely psycho reaction to a pair of nail clippers...

In other news, I knit a few rows on a vest that has been hanging about for too long.  It will be nice to wear this fall - eggplant purple to be trimmed with wheat.  Pics coming soon.

Stay cool and comfortable - more heat and humidity on the way for the Northeast.

Peace & Love,

Liz
