Hello and welcome to the Yarniaks podcast.

This is episode 68, which we are recording on Tuesday, August 5th, that's already August, 2014.

And Boo is sitting right near the microphone, and you may hear a little bit of sleep noise slash purring.

Yes, he's very happy.

We just got back from a vacation and we were gone for a few days and he's very happy to have company again.

We had somebody come in and take care of our pets while we were gone, but it's never the same as having your family here.

Yeah, and we didn't introduce ourselves.

I'm Gail.

Oh, and I'm Charlene.

And it's been a pet-filled week for me, a little Lucy update.

She has been interesting because she responds to vaccines, and she has been limping, and she has been lethargic, and she has been limping and she has been lethargic and she has been to

the veterinarian twice for different things. Yes, it's been a very challenging five days with

the puppy. We feel really bad for her. It's like watching, if you have children, watching your

sick, very young child with the flu and you can't do anything to help. It's that helpless

sensation. So hopefully Lucy's on the men. She got subcutaneous young child with the flu and you can't do anything to help it's that helpless

sensation so hopefully Lucy's on the men she got subcutaneous IV fluids this

morning so I didn't know you could do that with an animal especially when as

small as Lucy so this is a knitting podcast shall we get to it what are you wearing I
