[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Woe is me

Tue Feb 20 02:35:48 UTC 2024

Hi Mrs. Ericka, I and my Mom and Dad hope that you are out of that urgent Care place now.
I have a quilted hooded Winter coat and a rain coat that when I see Mom or Dad getting it ready to put on me, I am right there and saying "Hurry up please and get me dressed to go out in the cold or wet stuff."
Love you!
A very warm and dry Sophie, gig smile.

Go for it! That doggie is one stylish wolf. My friend who has a guide dog can’t get clothes of any kind on him. No sweaters no boots no nothing! Poor Scott Hass to keep the dog home on really bad weather days.

I don’t know exactly all the details but my grandpa was army Air Force my grandpa‘s baby brother served in the Navy as a cook. I support the military also as I have a cousin who is serving currently and so is his wife I don’t think they’ve been deployed recently. I also have a college friend who after desert Storm Came to college and that’s where I met her. She drove truck there. Anyhow, that’s really cool what you’re doing.
