Giving thanks for sweaters

SWEATERS!We had a wonderful time with Laura and Ann who spent Thanksgiving weekend at RLRR. We finished the tarping, did lots of cleanup at the shelter, socialized dogs and pups, and got lots accomplished.

ABBY AND CHEETAHLaura brought more sweaters knitted by her mom, and we had a great time dressing up the dogs and pups.

SIMON BUMBLE BEEThe sweaters are not only warm and comfortable- they are very colorful and beautiful. The animals seemed to love the excitement and attention.

CHEETAHLaura and Ann left this morning with 7 dogs/pups on board including Cheetah, Estelle, Daisy, 3 Singing Chipmunks- Alvin, Theodore, and Simone, and Ada.

DAISYThey are all going to foster care, and our dear Daisy is going to Auntie Ruth's courtesy of Pet Haven for a while. Dee Dee was able to get the great placements for us.

LAURA AND ADAWe had a great and productive weekend, meeting Ann for the first time
and renewing our friendship with Laura. We had a blast!!

SWEATER KIDS GONE WILDSincerely,

Sweaters & Coats for Canines

Laura has a dog boarding business called Rescue Buddy Boarding & Beyond and she volunteers for Red Lake Rosie's Rescue. Please contact her if you are interested in contributing yarn for knitting, fleece for sewing or if you'd like to help create these sweaters and coats for canines.

LAURA SAYS:
Here is my mom, Janice and all of the sweaters she has knit so far to keep the puppies at Red Lake Rosie's Rescue warm this winter. She is enjoying having something to keep her hands busy while she cheers on the Vikings, Cornhuskers, or whatever team happens to be playing. She does have instructions if anyone would like to help. Thanks mom!

OK so this is what I have done so far-arrange fabric in neat piles. Mom wins. I will be sewing coats out of fleece because knitting was never my thing. But my first business was "Seams Right", a dressmaking/alterations business, so I should be able to whip up some coats in no time. And yes mom taught me to sew when I was quite young. Her mother was a dressmaker too.

The coats and sweaters will be traveling to Red Lake this week for a modeling session and photo shoot. Then we will know more about what styles and sizes work best for Karen's little ones. If any of you have sewing skills or love to knit let me know. Extra fleece or yarn would be appreciated too.
