Well, we are finally over our heat spell! We've been sewing car seat covers for the dogs in our lives who like to take a dip in the pond rather than simply trail beside it. These covers are really neat because they can be pulled out to use in the shade at the next rest stop. Over the course of our married life and with kids in tow, we have learned to appreciate that next tree (tee, hee) as much as the family pet. The reprieve from concrete and swelling mufflered heat is Sooo welcome. Thank God for trees, literally. You can see the pet protector here
