Oh, dear!

My family recently got a new dog. We're still working on training her. I went to take a nap today and tucked my yarn on the couch, and went off to nap. I was waking up (sort of), when I heard my mom say "Ginger! What did you do?" I flew into the living room, expecting the filling to our couch to be spread through the house, and instead, I saw something worse (just kidding). The pictures explain. It's half-way untangled now. I'm just glad that the only thing attached to it was a finished gauge swatch I was planning to unravel. I would have cried if my sweater had been there. I guess I will have to be extra extra extra careful now. I noticed when I started that this yarn practically floats out of the skein it's so smooth and nice. I guess Ginger thought so too...

The Guilty Party

[auntbubbels]

Funny!!!!

[niqita]

I know I shouldn't laugh but one morning when I woke up

I tripped over something in the dark when I went to turn the light

on I found a ball of my yarn ahd been taken through my kitchen

upstairs back down and through the kitchen and into the living room

where all 5 of my 's sat there with a guilty look on their faces.

[tamzilla]

YIKES!

 

She sure does look guilty!

[idagammy]

Awwww, the poor baby! She just wanted to play. I, too, learned the hard way. Still haven't untangled it all.

Hope Ginger didn't get grounded too long. She probably missed you while you were taking a nap... maybe...

That was funny. Our dogs leave my yarn alone. I had cats that use to watch it go up to my WIP and then try to play with it.

Just train her that it's not a toy. Show her the toy and say "good girl" show her the yarn and say "bad girl" show her the toy and say "good girl". Then give her the toy. If you end on the positive I think that helps them.

That's cute. I've never had a problem with my dogs getting into my yarn...But I have had them get into my lap while I'm working with yarn.

[segi1974]

:roflThat's too funny...

[Tampa Doll]

I am sorry, but I am rolling on the floor laughing, especially the picture of the guilty party.

She must of felt how soft the yarn was and wanted to be wrapped in it.

[SHERYL]

Maybe she was trying to tell you something ~ make me a blankie???

[aekmv]

Poor Ginger, she was only trying to help !!!

[walkingal]

Great post! She looks contrite.

Ginger landed in the slammer....too funny!! Pretty yarn, she has good taste. :)

[sunflowermom1972]

Lmbooooooooooooo

[crazycrochet]

Hope she is not in jail too long, she looks very sorry. My dogs have never gotten into my yarn, they just lay on top of what ever I am making.

[purlwise]

LOL, I know what you mean. I found a skein of yarn from my office downstairs on the dog bed! At least she didn't chew this one to badly!

[alibra]

Poor Ginger...incarserated for malicious destruction of yarn...she looks so sorry for her deed Mom...can she come out and play now?! Please!!

[basjordan]

Ginger is too cute. How can you stay mad at a sweet baby like that? I hope you've forgiven her!

[01buckler15]

That was a good story! Thanks for the laugh.

 

My kitten tried to do that with the yarn I hadn't even started using yet. And DH was in the room. I think I was more mad at DH for not noticing what she was doing. But I got to it in time. It was no big mess.

Good one!!!!

 

What a sweet picture of your puppy. Oh an that was a sweet picture of your yarn "before" as well.

 

That really is a nice looking yarn. Do anything in navy and you can "own" me.

[CrisKad]

The picture of the guilty party had me laughing really hard!

[LovelyLovely]

That was so funny!

I can totally relate!

 

[gardnr]

Aww...poor puppy, she is so cute! How can anyone be mad at her!

I guess I've been too lucky. My labs leave the yarn alone. However, they like shoes and the like instead. At least you have a sense of humor now, even if you didn't at the time.
