Hootables… A Community Effort
Every penny raised from the sale of these owls is supporting a young person in post secondary education.
It’s funny how good things come from bad things
Several years ago I was in rough shape with a bad back. Lots of pain. Trying to carry on work. Reduced activity. Mostly, I could manage the pain if I laid on my left side. [I didn’t do this without pain meds]
Couldn’t lay there indefinitely and since I’m a lifelong knitter of big projects, I was a bit frustrated that I couldn’t do my normal knitting projects. However, there’s always a gift.

And today, the final six owls sitting in my workroom, waiting for forever homes.
First, meet Maddix, born January 2, 2026 and #3436. Maddix is white like the snow, and very soft.
And then, here is Marwan, who also got his wings in January, on the 8th. #3441. I particularly love Marwan's character!
Nevan got his wings on February 6 ands bears the tag, #3444.
Then, Nita, born February 16, 2026 and #3452.
Fifth is Nodder, born February 6 and #3445.
And last in this parliament of owls is Walker, who arrived on February 10, 2026, #3446.
All these owls are here in my workroom so if one interests you, please send an email to donna@donnadouglas.com
$50 takes one home.
And every penny of that goes to support our eighth student in college.
And so, now we have owls waiting for adoption. They are all here in my workroom, but please remember you can buy Hootables at Barrie locations... Wentworths Eatery, Around My Gluten Free Table, Get Moving Physiotherapy, Oh!Beehive, and you can always email me at Donna@donnadouglas.com
Here goes... Addison, born Feb 25, 2026 and #3439

Adoptions
Interested in having a Hootable Owl of your own, or you want to gift one to someone else? Check out the latest available owls and news on our Facebook Page.
You can choose your colour. Donna chooses the owl’s name just because she gets attached to them all. The price for an adult owl is $50 and babies are $25 extra. *Babies owls are not made separately* If you’re having the owl mailed, expect to add a bit for economical courier costs, too.
