Diego goes to work, Part 2

This is part two of the pictures taken when Diego was at work. I had to darken all the faces of the children and the staff due to confidentiality reasons.

I just have to say that this experience was a rewarding one for me and the children. I wish you could see the expressions on the angelic faces as Diego hopped around and flirted with all the children and staff. He seemed to notice he was the center of attention and he truly worked it!

In the past, I've taken Delilah, our Chihuahua bitch to work with some teen-agers and they loved her. However, she is a bit too rambunctious for these children so Diego was a great source of help during the group meeting.

Diego goes to work, Part I

Diego goes to work! Yes, I decided to take Diego to work with me. I've been telling the children about our awesome rabbits and they wanted to meet one of them. After receiving constant requests by the kids to see a rabbit, Diego came to save the day.

The children I work with have special needs, but are awesome in their own ways. They love people, animals, and they love life! They were extremely enthused and excited to see Diego.
The children were able to keep their attention focused on the information of how Diego flew to San Antonio, Texas, all the way from Canada! Yes, they loved the story about how we waited patiently for him and the show experience.

There were many questions as to what kind of food Diego eats, as well as his favorite treats. Of course, I took the opportunity to share that Diego loves to eat healthy, not too many treats or his teeth will require Dentist intervention (grin), yes, I had to help them understand the importance of hygiene. Of course, we discussed how Diego receives his grooming and blowing of his coat in order to keep it nice and soft.

Overall, it was a wonderful experience for the children and Diego. I will post more pictures tomorrow and continue sharing Diego's awesome work experience.

(Due to confidentiality, the faces of the children were either cropped or blurred).

Many things going on.

These past few weeks have been a bit tough. Many things surfaced at work and new plans for our family are occurring. The fun part for me is that I've been knitting along these tough times. Knitting is a source of relaxation, invigoration and rejuvenation. Well, spinning, is, too, as well as playing with the rabbits! :)

I've been participating in our KAL and am working on a cotton towel with a bull dog picture in it. Well, I hope it is coming out good. I will take a picture of the work in progress tonight. Thus far, I have the legs completed!

This past weekend our family went to the Rio Grande Valley and we visited my parents and sisters. We had a wonderful time. Pictures of that will also be posted on the blog along with a very special segment I want to share with you all. The segment is "Diego goes to work". Yes, Diego, our English Angora that we acquired some time ago from Bumblebeary's English Angoras, went to work and boy did he make a splash! Kids and adults loved him! I plan to take him back again soon.

Hopefully, with the new prospectives coming along for our family I will not neglect our blog.

Happy Labor Day

KAL is fun!

I'm a member of a yahoo knitting group and I'm excited to partake in the KAL (Knit Along) for September. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MonthlyDishcloths/cal
Knit-A-Longs (KALs)

This group holds 2 KALs per month. A “KAL” is a knit along. An email is sent to the group with about 7 lines of a pattern a day and continues for about 7 days. After 7 days we should have a wonderful dishcloth to use or pass along to someone special.

You can also go to our BLOG at: http://monthlydishclothkal.blogspot.com/
A good idea is to bookmark this site!

1st of the Month KAL: These KALs have a monthly theme and usually have a picture of something pertaining to the month/season. Usually a solid color is best for pictured dishcloths.

Hope people joins the fun!
