Hi, I am Sylvia Q. in the Los Angeles area. I enjoy all that you talk about and especially the pictures of your projects in process and complete. I have been lurking for a few months now and happen to see the plea from Craftybear and had to speak up.
To: Craftybear:
Check out Thundershirt.com. They sell a shirt that coddles your dog and that will calm him/her during storms, wind, fireworks, etc. I heard about it on Twit.tv on the GizWhiz show about pet products. You might enjoy listening to that one podcast.
Good Luck!
