My story is about a woman who takes elderly dogs into her home. These dogs have been pushed out for various reasons - some of their owners were placed in nursing homes, and families didn't want them - others have had their owners die, again the family didn't want them - then there are those dogs who just grow old and the owners don't want to deal with them anymore. I decided to make each dog their own blanket - using double knit material - when I provided her the first few blankets, small/medium/large, she cried - I'd also had someone borrow her grieving blanket (when an animal expires, she uses this special blanket to catch her tears) it was in shreds from the many years of use - I rebuilt it with materials that matched it almost perfectly in color - and she cried again when it was handed to her. I'm now the blanket maker for the senior haven dog shelter. Each dog is wrapped into their own blanket when they expire - never to be cold on their journey.
