It's a good thing we love our dogs. I now have another issue with one of mine. I was using the needle threader on my sewing machine last night when the needle unexpectedly lowered. My little sweetheart walked across the foot pedal. The result- the little hook that goes through the needle is now out of alignment and doesn't work. No big deal, I should be able to thread a needle. Last night I discovered just how bad my eyesight is now that I'm getting older.
