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.

Hello on this beautiful, soon-to-be-hot August morning.
Put the finishing touches on three owls last night so it seems like a great time to share a few more with you.
They are all riding around with me these days so if one interests you, you can send an email to me at donna@donnadouglas.com
Here goes...in alphabetical order.
Ann, born July 26, 2026 and #3507; this is one of the nicest sock owls I've ever done, I think.
And Brandon, #3504, who flew in on July 21, 2026.
Dean arrived two days later, on July 23, 2026 and clocked in at #3505
Then Miles, #3508, born July 26, 2026. Look at that texture! He is one dramatic owl!
And pulling up the rear is Raymond, #3506 who arrived on July 25, 2026.
Those are the owls started a in the last two weeks and getting their finishing touches this week. Don't you just love what $50 will buy? And our eighth student is headed back to year two in Social Work Services. Thanks to you.

Where can I buy a Hootable?
A number of Barrie, ON retailers sell Hootables out of the goodness of their hearts.

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.
