Buster

We had this monster dog to watch for five days. He is a labrador cross and he is huge! Buster was mostly very good, especially when he was asleep.
Tohto obr psika sme strazili 5 dni, je to labrador krizeny s niecim a je obrovsky! Buster bol prevazne dobry, hlavne ked spal.


Our poor Lola wasn't very happy about the whole situation. She was so jealous and she wouldn't let him near me. Or into the bedroom, or onto the bed (which was good!). But they played nicely outside, chasing each other in the park.
Nestastna Lola nebola prilis nadsena. Ziarlila a nechcela ho chudaka pustit ku mne. Alebo do spalne, alebo na postel (co bolo super!). Zato vonku sa pekne hrali a nahanali.


I did almost nothing for the past few days, as the dogs needed constant attention. I had to make sure Buster's not eating Lola and that Lola isn't provoking him.
Celych 5 dni som ich strazila ako oko v hlave a skoro nic ine som nerobila. Davala som pozor, ci Buster nezere Lolu a ci ho ona prilis neprovokuje.


One day, Lola found a spool of thread. But who can stay mad at her? So I let her keep it.
Jedneho dna Lola nasla nitku. Tak som jej ju nechala, lebo kto sa na nu moze hnevat...


I did a bit of spinning, here is Buster thinking he is a lap dog... he sat on me most of the time. And yes, he is heavy.
Trosicku som priadla a tunak mame Bustera, ktory mi pomahal. Nestastnik, on nevie, ze je velky a snazil sa sadnut si na mna skoro cely cas. A hej, je dost tazky.


I spun this lovely almost black alpaca pencil roving last week. I bought it from Loop, a great etsy shop. I really like pencil roving, easy peasy, just add twist, no drafting necessary. (and I also bought two other batts, I can't resist, when the second item has lower postage)
Tutok vlnku som spriadla, z takych chlpov, ktore som kupila u Loop. Je to alpaca a takmer ciena. No velice piekna. Este som si tam kupila dve tzv. batts, co su take cesance (cesanec, zas ta tu mame. hrozne slovo)
, lebo bola velka zlava na postovne na druhu a tretiu vec...


I got 6 oz of this lovely stuff from here, it's blend of 9% Angora rabbit, 70% Alpaca, and 20% Llama fiber wit a bit of glitz. Very nice. It's going to be a single ply laceweight, I think.
Toto su najnovsie chlpy, zmes 9% Angorsky zajko, 70% Alpaca, and 20% Llama s troskou lesklitka primiesaneho. juuj z tohoto oblacika bude asi jednovrstvova tenka vlnka.


and not to forget, Buster is going home today! I was nice and all with him, but I'm tired... :)
a aby som nezabudla, Buster ide dnes domov, huraaa! Bolo nam super a vobec, ale stacilo, som unavena...

Labradors are lovely dogs, but as you say, very big, and I never met a lab who didn't drool alot... but they're such sweeties. It's good that He and Lola played nicely (outside at least!)

Hi!

yeah, most of the time was Buster a very lovely dog :) It was just the matter of having two dogs that differ in size so much. Like when Buster and his big paws tried to play with Lola, it would end in squealing Lola, because he stepped on her or something :)

LOL you made me laugh saying the labrador thought he was a lapdog. That must have made spinning quote awkward!

a bit, yes :D
