Design Gives Back: Decorate a scraf and help lost dogs

Design Gives Back projects help the world through creative action. People are abandoning dogs and cats at an alarming rate because of home foreclosure and job loss. Can you imagine having to give-up your precious little family member? --- Heartbreaking ---

A small way I could help was simply by decorating a Oliver Wendell "Play Strong" scarf.

While I was busy sewing
Coco (the jester doggie) was busy taking a nap. He knew he needed his beauty rest for his big photo shoot. The silly things my mommy has me do. I don't mind--I love her and would do anything for her

Is this my best sideor this side

does this one make me look fat?

I am getting very sleepy

I am sitting as still as can be expected out of a pomerainan who loves to frolic and chase butterflies. Done!!! Lets play!
