Sweet to. And I ...Hi Ramona - What a moving post. Sweet to. And I had no idea dog hair could be spun. I love the light, delicate look. I'm amazed actually.<br /><br />I am also so sorry you lost two dogs in one year and you lost another one after that. No doubt they have a loving home with you.<br /><br />I haven't been ready to post on this yet ..but we were shocked to have to put our beautiful German Shepherd, Bob down in January. He would've been 10 May 5. He was so healthy, agile, good weight and teeth ..it was a shock. Turned out he had a hemangiosarcoma. I was so distressed over what transpired that morning I had to cancel my afternoon uro appt and I had to cancel the or/stent removal that Thursday ..or I would've been sobbing all the way into the OR.<br /><br />They are like family. <br /><br />he was the first large dog we had ..always mid size prior to that... and while we loved everyone of our wonderful dogs ..a large dog really has a presence. We all had our unique relationship with him. he was really younger son's dog and he was *always* so responsible and loving with him. I really miss hugging him around his neck and leaning into his big head. :)<br /><br />My son ..for a joke ..has two lg ziplock backs stuffed with his hair. I am pretty sure if we opened them they would explode outward. One day he tried to out brush his loose hair. he could not. No matter how long he brushed him ..hair still came loose. :)<br /><br />Thank you for this wonderful post. :)<br /><br />I so very much want another dog, but my husband is saying no right now. i know he will soften. I believe the right dog will come into our lives when we are meant to have one ..we will know.SeaSprayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07906503090688697222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7675087351939177300.post-86329291676628315982010-06-27T09:37:40.364-05:002010-06-27T09:37:40.364-05:00Thanks, Cowgirl.

She had the most amazingly beautiful fur. My plan had been to "hook" it just like fleece into a rug of a pattern I had found that featured a terrier in a garden of hollyhocks. The artist had hooked the words: "Comparison is the thief of joy" around the border of the rug. When my beloved Wendy, died last year, I had my husband clip a piece of her fur. I plan to hook this rug and use that bit of her fur in the terrier in the garden. It will be a special momento, just as your lovely shawl. Glad I found your blog via the Quilting magazine.
