Oh Elisabrat you just never know what you pet will eat. We once had a cat who also like to eat thread and yarn. She was a pain. One day the phone rang and I set my knitting down when I came back she had bit though the yarn and eat about 2 feet of it. Lucky for use no surgery was needed. We now have a dog that will eat beer caps grrr. Love him dearly but sure do have to be careful when we have people over. Nice runner Quiltermmma love those colours.
