Dog Treat for the Day

I promised to complete the soft book from Aspen's Line on Thursday. Unfortunately, I was dogged-tired when I went home on Wednesday night. I did complete it on Thursday night. I had a lot of fun doing it. The instructions were very clear. If you have more time than I had, these soft books are great for embellishment. You can personalize with embroidery by adding the perspns name, pets name and more. This would have been great to add my daughter's chihuahuas' names to the page with the dogs on it. I would have loved to add an embroidered dog bone to the pages.  Let your imagination go when you are doing these books.

While you're reading to your favorite pooch, have a special snack ready! I have found the greatest website with free dog recipes-Bullwrinkle.com
