Were you wondering?

Do you remember a few weeks back when I was asking about dogs and which kind I should get?  Then, I sort of decided on a Maltese and searched and searched for a good breeder?  Well, I found a lady not too far from where I live who had two adults to visit...just to see if we liked the size and breed.  Well, she also had a 155 lb Great Dane and my husband was enamored instantly and looked at me with "puppy eyes" as if to say, "let's get one of these."  Needless to say, I was NOT in the market for a horse!  I poo-pooed that immediately and decided to continue my search.  Next, I ran across a breed I never heard of before called Bolognese.  They are from Italy and not even recognized by AKC here in America yet, although there are a few breeders.  They are a bit smaller than a Bichon Frise, not as tiny as a Maltese, and are non-allergic.

 And here's what they look like as adults:

Kinda like miniature white sheep dogs, don't ya think?  I guess the hair gets to a certain length and just stops growing.  But, you can cut them shorter for ease in grooming.  Cute!

My friend has a Havanese and told me to look into that breed:

 How can anyone resist those faces?  There was a black and white 9 week old puppy in our newspaper for sale last week, but when my hubby discovered that the cost was $1500, and we are in the process of replacing all 34 windows in our house, he put the kibash on that in record time.  I guess we're waiting now.......maybe forever?  I hate to admit it, but we are getting more and more used to being dog free.  Besides, how could I sew with a puppy around?  I'd have to take at least a year break.

Speaking of that, I have been sewing, but alas can not show you anything yet.  I am trying to catch up for upcoming swaps since l already know the themes.  I did sew some stars though.....but haven't a clue what I'm going to do with them.

Here's a better picture:



Got any ideas?
