You see,

Beloved daughter in law

schmucked up her ankle

royally.

I mentioned that I

was volutold by the Dr

(Not Dr Who, Dr V)

that I was going to help put

on the cast.

Pardon the pun, but

that’s no mean feat!

See: Casting Call

Anyhow, since Beloved daughter in law has to stay off Mean Foot schmucked ankle, she’s taking the opportunity to knit like there’s no tomorrow.

A friend of hers asked her to knit him a Dr Who scarf. (I would have given him a pair of needles and a ‘how to knit’ book, but that’s another story).

So, she googled and found the pattern on the net. (There’s a pattern? Um, isn’t it just a mile of random stripes? Oh, yes, but this is the RIGHT and accurate arrangement of random perfectly correct stripes.)  Here’s the link: Dr Who Scarf Season 16

Now, back to why Small Dog is in love with Dr Who’s scarf.  Small Dog worships Beloved Daughter in Law. Shes in tune with dogs on an impressive level, and works with them.

Small Dog always has a couple of days in the autumn when he goes through a patch of feeling poorly.

Well, if you asked him he’d probably tell you he feels like a mouse who’s gone through  a fan belt. (Don’t ask me how I know about this… just trust me- it is not a nice experience. And, this IS the voice of experience).

The Vet says to keep Small Dog warm, love him madly and coddle him through his splats.

The stars were lined up perfectly for the poor little guy’s annual ‘I feel ooky’ day this time ’round…. oh bliss! to have the lap available of his precious knitting buddy was heavenly, and the fact that she had miles of scarf to wrap him in made it worth feeling crummy.

So yay for the healing power of knitting, and yay for the healing power of cuddles and coddles, and yay for Dr Who!

And, happily, Small Dog is on the mend. It must be the Dr Who scarf. I think I need to knit him one now……
