Cats’ Love
February 4, 2024I Love Dogs
Originally published on February 3, 2024
A dog's love is pure, the only purpose dogs have is to love and protect their family, and the only thing he wants back from you is your unconditional love. It doesn't matter to a dog if you are poor or rich, he loves you, no matter what comes. I had the luck to have such an incredible dog by my side. As long as I was with him, he was always happy, he loved me and my children until his last breath.
I still remember, on the day he died, he looked at me with sad eyes that told me: “I’m sorry, I have to go now”, then he went to his favorite spot, laid down and closed his eyes forever.
I will never forget the day because this hurt so much. And it still does!
He brought so much joy to our family. I still remember the enthusiasm that erupted every time we hit the forest after a rainy day. He'd lead the way to the muddiest puddle of them all, and roll in it with so much joy! I captured this moment in a few photos, but the quality isn't the best.
You can find them at the end of this post in the gallery!
The love between dogs and their humans is something truly unique and irreplaceable. They offer companionship, unconditional love, and unwavering loyalty, asking little in return but our affection and care.
I decided to share all patterns for free on my blog. With these versatile patterns, you can create not only a beautiful blanket, but also stylish dishcloths or other crochet creations.
I think this would also make lovely gifts for your loved ones!
I've created both a chart and a written pattern. You can find the PDF of the pattern, both written and chart, at the end of this blog post. When using the chart, remember that odd rows (wrong side) read from left to right, and even rows (right side) read from right to left.
Feel free to reach out anytime if you have any questions or need assistance. I'm always eager to help fellow crafters enthusiasts on their creative journeys.
Happy crafting!
