[Nfb-krafters-korner] Pine needle weaving

Wed Jan 26 17:09:20 UTC 2011

I have a shelter dog.  He's the sweetest dog you'd ever find. Hard to 
believe someone abandoned him.  However, he does like to sneak up and steal 
food off the table when you're not looking... lol!
Old habits die hard.
Plus he knows we love him to death anyway so the punishment is not so 
terrible.
Ah the joys of having pets.
This is my plug for the animal shelter.
Adopt a shelter animal.
