OLLIE OOP

Here's the snazzy little sweater I told you about.  Oliver will need one for each day of the week during the cool weather.  I'm going to make them up in different, happy, circus-like designs with polka-dots and such, and call it his Ollie Oop collection.  I found the basic pattern here (Pinterest), although I did modify it somewhat.  I have other modifications I'd like to make the next time as well - and maybe even turn it into a crochet pattern.

S.W.A.K.

LET'S DO THE TWIST

Oliver Twist

Introducing Oliver.  Oliver Twist to be more precise.  Although, sometimes we call him Ollie, and sometimes we call him Pick Pocket (he likes to steal anything he can get his little mouth on and make us chase him around the house).  Once in a while, you may even hear him being referred to as The Little Dickens!

Oliver is a Coton de Tulear.  His hair is super soft and feels like cotton, hence the name.  This breed is from Madagascar.  Oliver is 7 months old, although we've only known him for two weeks.  When full grown, he should only weigh about 8.8 to 13 lbs.  Oliver is very playful, affectionate, and extremely intelligent.  He loves to have fun.  He is very circus-like.  Cotons are known to have a habit of jumping up and walking on their hind legs to please people.  We have even seen Oliver do somersaults!  Cotons love meeting new people and are very curious in new situations. They are easy to train and very eager to please.  They are also great with kids and other animals. This breed, much like the Bichon Frise, has hair, therefore, it is a great pet for allergy sufferers.  They do not shed!

Oliver, or whatever we may call him, has once again brought happiness and laughter back into our home!

P.S. - I just finished knitting a snazzy sweater for this little guy in colors to match his circus-like demeanor.
