> Hello all!
> 
> I have dog sweaters again this year.  Actually I have quite a few.  Most 
> of them I made during the past few months when I was waiting for my foot 
> to heal.  Crocheting helped to pass the time.  I also have a couple of 
> rugs, perfect for use in a crate, under a desk or in an out of the way 
> corner as the dog's designated spot.  The rugs were made from leftover 
> odds and ends yarns, so are quite colorful.  All the yarns I use are 
> acrylic, machine washable and dryable.  They shouldn't shrink, although 
> I can't promise that there will be absolutely no shrinkage.  The sizes I 
> have provided are approximate.
> 
> I realize that not everyone feels that guide dogs need or should wear 
> sweaters.  I have two dogs, one needs some winter covering and the other 
> is fine with her natural fur coat.   If you feel your dog could benefit 
> from a sweater, please feel free to choose one.  If you don't want a 
> sweater, no action is necessary! 99smile*

> The sweaters and rugs are free to whomever wants one.  I make them 
> because I like to crochet and I have every sort of afghan, scarf, hat 
> and do dad already.  So I get to crochet and you get a sweater or rug 
> for your guide dog! All you need to do is send me and email message at:
> julielj at neb.rr.com with your first and second choices and where to send 
> it.   Sorry I'm not making any sweaters other than what I have listed.  
> I'm also not available by phone to discuss sweaters or colors.  If you 
> have questions please email me.  Please do not clutter the list with 
> sweater requests.  email me privately.
> 
> There were a couple of people I promised sweaters last year that didn't 
> get one.  If you are one of those people please let me know and I will 
> do my very best to get you one this time around.
> 
> It will be a few weeks before I will be able to ship the sweaters and 
> rugs out.  Please be patient.  Thanks!
