Paisley LOVES dogs. We thought seriously about getting one, but that only lasted 10 minutes. Hopefully this little sock dog will appease her obsession for a while. Isn't he cute? And he'll always be a puppy. I found instructions in Martha Stewart's Encyclopedia of Sewing and Fabric Crafts. Brandon had the idea of making him always speak Spanish when we're playing with Paisley - a little teaching tool. So we're trying to come up with a name. Don Julio? Risa (laugh)? Any suggestions?
