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
And now, introducing a few new owls for your enjoyment.
First, the third Wings Up! Canadian owl. Name is Spencer, born March 18, 2025 and #3356. See if this doesn't nudge your patriotism!
Dorothy Ann, born near the end of April, and #3352 was scooped up by Liz Moore of Bond Head. She's a special order gift.
And Jameson, #3351, is on his way to Scotsdale, Arizona, courtesy of Merle Miller. Thank you, Merle.
And then there's Grey. I just completed him on April 8, 2025 and he's 3354. He's sitting in a basket at Wentworth Eatery on Ross St in Barrie.
Last is Joan, born August 3, 2024 and #3265. Joan's been waiting for awhile for a home.
If any of these (that are still available) interest you, please email me at donna@donnadouglas.com. Or, check out our new hootables.ca website. All the wonderful retail stores who carry Hootables are listed there.
Happy Easter!
Hello! And Happy Easter! We have had lots of adoptions this week so I thought I'd share them with you. Also, Kathy Eyers came back to Canada with three "Elbows Up" Canadian owls. Before I could introduce them on Facebook, two were adopted, so I'll put their pictures here. We're calling them our "Wings Up!" owls. Kathy has asked for all my red yarn so I think we'll see more.
Okay, adoptions
John te Bokkel adopted the first Wings Up! owl and we called him Sidney after Crosby, the hockey player. Born April 5, 2025 and #3353 John is thrilled.
Then Barb Sinton breezed in and purchased an entire parliament of owls as baby gifts. She chose the second Wings Up owl, named after pro hockey player Sarah Fillion. Born March 28, and #3355.
Barb also adopted Adelaide and her daughter Julie, McKenna, Finley, and Taj. Lucky babies! Thank you, Barb. You're such a big supporter!
And then our newest sales point, Linda's Craftique, sold their first owl, Freia. Born January 2, 2025 and #3334. Buyer is M.K.
Tony Wise at Wise Vision reported that Lincoln flew off with Lorie Acton. Lincoln is Hootable #3206.
And Merle Miller scooped up Jameson, #3351 from Wentworth Eatery. Jameson is off to Scotsdale, Arizona.
Thank you one and all!

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.
