When I recently washed my dog’s blanket, I noticed all the colours in the compacted fibre for the first time. Being the fabricholic I am, I decided that I needed a coat made from this extraordinary material.
Although we might be heading towards spring, it is still pretty cold out there. Please donate blankets to shelters so all animals may feel your love.
Napoleon Bonaparte found a dog howling beside a soldier’s body on a moonlit field after battle- grieving and licking his master’s face. The scene haunted Napoleon all his life.
“This soldier I realized must have had friends at home and in his regiment, yet he lay there deserted by all except his dog. I looked on, unmoved, at battles which decided the future of nations. Tearless, I had given orders which brought death to thousands. Yet, here I was stirred , profoundly stirred, stirred to tears. And by what? By the grief of one dog.”
