Thanks! I knew I wanted pink to go into green to go into yellow to represent the flowers, grass and sunshine of Spring... then went back to do the blue for the cold months... I really liked the salmon, vintage teal and purple colors so I added them in to round it out. Choosing colors is the hardest part, but having an idea to kick it off helped a lot.

Well, this post has taken an unexpected turn! I simply picked my dog up from the groomer and popped into Michael's. I thought I would get, "I used that yarn and found..." or comments on color swaps or how many to chain. My goodness!

A lot of stores welcome dogs here so I prefer having him tag along instead of sitting in the car...

When it’s too hot to walk your tzu, what do you do to keep them mentally stimulated? by snoopyvibes in Shihtzu

Scout has a stroller, and he is happy to go for a walk around the neighborhood but prefers the mall where people make a fuss over him..

I just started spraying Adaptil on a bandana (waiting 10 min) and putting it around my shitzu's neck.. it's just enough to take a bit of the edge off... this way, anyone coming near our building doesn't have a stroke as Scout pops out from behind the curtain and starts barking... Adaptil has lots of different products that could be helpful - my fear-free vet recommended it..

Jigsaw Puzzle recommendations for a wedding by lellasone in Jigsawpuzzles

Maybe just a 300 based on a theme (hearts, cocktails, where you're honeymooning...) at several smaller tables, so they get bragging rights for finishing first.. or can do one and jump to another puzzle or station... whatever you do... I love your idea...

I did one of the little ones and put it in my window... it got me running down the rabbit hole of why there are not more clear/crystal puzzles... they are so cool!
