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.
New on Facebook
We are getting to the end of the list of owls available for purchase. There are lots that have been sold and I may put up a list of names and pictures, just so you can see them.
But for now... Shannon, named after my good friend, born March 28, 2026 and #3569.
And then an adorable pair (again, they must be sold together) Smith (parent) and Deka, born March 5 and 6, 2026 and #s 3460 and 3461.
And meet Stacey who arrived June 15, 2026 and #3494.
Sydney, #3489, flew in on May 21, 2026. I was sad to use up the last of this yarn... it's so spectacular!
And last of this list of my spring work, is Tessa, who flew in on May 18, 2026 and is #3488.
What a parliament of owls! And now you see why I haven't returned phone calls or books. Thank you for caring. Please send these posts on to someone who might want to join our facebook page. And, if you have time, our hootables.ca website is full of fun!
Take care! ~Donna
Five more new flyers for you... see what I mean? It's been far too long.
Let me introduce you to Peter. He arrived on April 17, 2026 and is #2475. He is gorgeous!
And I love Piper, born March 13, 2026 and #3465. Her colours are great!
And then, here's Reese, and his little buddy, Charley. They arrived on March 23 and 24, 2026 and are #s 3467 and 3468. They must be sold together... $75 for the pair. Aren't they just so cute! That's what happens when you have extra yarn...
And now, here's Rhett. Rhett flew in on March 8, 2026 and is #3462. He's a second, very cuddly, very brown owl. Yum!
And lastly, Richard. He flew in during a cold snap on February 22, 2026 and he's #3455

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.
Every penny raised from the sale of these owls is supporting a young person in post secondary education.
