OK..... I thought of this the other day when I was out
on the front lawn doing 'Dog Poop Patrol"
with my Grand kids who are 3 and 4 yrs old.
I gave each one a different color plastic
poop bag and we began to pick it up
putting it in the bigger trash bag.
They thought it was a fun game and
They loved it.
See The Video on my Youtube Channel at this LINK This Pattern has been used for Dog and Animal Rescue fund raisers. It is a great Seller! It is a fun "Gag" gift for any one who has small pooches like me.

Hat Trim and Pompom Trim: Thread a 12 inch piece of fuzzy white yarn on your needle. Stitch loose long stitches around the hat, you may need to pull a little to keep them even. Pompom- Wrap yarn around one finger loosely, pull a 12 inch piece of yarn through the loop and tie. I didn't cut mine, but you can if you want too. Use the 2 long ends to attach to top of hat. Face: Stitch 2 French knots or short stitches for the eyes With the White yarn. Stitch a smile on with red yarn. Then with green yarn, cut 2 12 inch length, then count down 5 rounds from the hat and tie them around the poop, so it pulls in and form a head. Tie in the front and trim. Cut another 12 piece of green yarn and loop through the hat to form the tie.
I hope you think this is as funny as me
and my grand kids do.We just put up the
Christmas tree and it was the
first ornament on the tree! Keep your negative comments to your self. This ornament is meant as a light hearted, silly ornament.
