Meet Trudie!

02/11/2013

Yesterday, we were asked by a friend who volunteers for local rescue to take on Trudie, a young female Border Collie who had been with them since early December.

Trudie was rescued at the Nth hour from the Chowchilla shelter, where she was being loaded on a truck to be euthanized.  Fortunately she was saved.  She has been with the Last Hope Cat Kingdom out of Atwater, CA since then and was transferred to our rescue, the Border Collie Rescue of Northern California, yesterday.  Her previous foster couldn’t keep her anymore due to her other dog not liking Trudie.  Also, they wanted to give her a better chance at finding her forever home.

Trudie is 1 1/2- 2 years old, spayed, healthy and ready to find her new home.  She is a petite BC at about 25 lbs and has smooth coat.  She is a very athletic and lithe little girl and gets along well with dogs, strangers and children.  She is very friendlyand loves to go for rides.  All in all, she a good dog with a lot of unused potential.

We also have another foster dog named Lily, who we’ve had almost two weeks.  Lily had a bad reaction to her spay surgery, thus the reason why I haven’t had her up on this blog yet.  She is about ready to be up for adoption soon and Lily and Trudie get along great.  Trudie already has a potential adopter, so we’re waiting to see if she goes there.  Trudie also has a problem with cats, so we may not remain her foster parents in the chance she doesn’t get adopted shortly.  Other than her cat problem though, Trudie is a great girl. 🙂

A finished project! I used McCall 1247 (c. 1946) t A finished project! I used McCall 1247 (c. 1946) to create this blouse. It's made out of a rayon twill that I got from @lafinchfabrics. I started this project pre-pandemic and just finished it... I have been experiencing a lot of sewing lethargy, which isn't unusual considering our current circumstances here in the US. I'm trying to get my sew-jo back as I would just love to sit here all day sewing and watching TV. I have been embroidering and am finding escape in that. ❤️

It's going to be the focal point on a quilt that I'm planning to make with vintage handkerchiefs -- most of them from the same era. #embroidery #vintageembroidery #1930sembroidery #stateflowers #handkerchiefquilt #mccall609
My family recently received a new Purple Heart med My family recently received a new Purple Heart medal for my grandpa. My grandpa was a highly decorated and yet modest man and although he was proud to have received his service medals, he did not display them. I found most of them forgotten in a dusty box under his desk after he passed. Others I found in footlockers in the barn. I have yet to find the Purple Heart that he earned while being shot down over France during WWII. He had a bullet in his leg with remnants that remained for the rest of his life. Thankfully, we were able to apply for and receive another one. All Purple Hearts have the recipients name engraved on the back. The last photo was the last medal he received - the Prisoner of War medal (1987). He became a POW after his P-51D was shot down and he was captured by the Nazis. My grandpa and his military brothers and sisters are not "losers" or "suckers". They served the country that they love.
I don't know about you, but I need something to lo I don't know about you, but I need something to look forward to, so today I decorated for Halloween. It doesn't take me very long as I don't have very many Halloween decorations. Time to get spooky!

I also find it amusing that the "Welcome" sign is an oxymoron as no one outside of my bubble is welcome inside. 🤣 Materials from Dollar Tree and Joann's and a repurposed grapevine wreath. 🎃🦇🕷️🕸️🦹
