The blue sweater that *almost* fits.
3:00 p.m.
Yesterday, in all of my fussing over crates and steps, ect., I forgot to mention something important: Dusty came home exactly one month ago.
She was so small back then, but in the past month she's grown (literally!) two inches! It was so cold during those first few days that I put her blue sweater to keep her warm. The sweater was so large that the neck hung down to her knees and I had to fold the back part under (the sweater was twice as big as she was!).
This morning, the windchill was around -27C, so I decided to try the sweater once again. This time, nearly fit! Only an inch or so to go and it will be perfect.
Nothing demonstrated her growth to me more than that sweater. On some level, I know she's growing, but it's hard to see. I can't believe how big she's gotten in just a month!
