Before I Go...

If you'd like to preserve the memory of your dog in the form a small piece of memorabilia, you'll want to check out Tina's TinyDogs service. She'll create a handmade, needle-felted miniature version of your dog based on pictures you send. Price will vary depending on the dog. The squirrels and chipmunks in my backyard would like to know if she ever intends to expand into other species!
