I’m so happy Joan and Carol decided to bring back the blog hops for a couple more rounds. I’m just participating in the Halloween one.

About a year and half ago my husband and I moved to a new
house in a new area in our state. One of our nieces, Julianna, already lived in
the neighboring town. We’re really enjoying spending time with her and her
sweet and silly dog named Myrtle. Myrtle is a pit bull mixed with who knows, and
we take care of her whenever Julianna is off on one of her many adventures.
Myrtle can be quite rambunctious when she gets excited, and
on more than one occasion she has tripped Julianna, or pulled her down, while
on a walk. We need to be careful when she’s with us and we’re out walking with
her. We all jokingly started calling Myrtle
“Danger Dog.”
Julianna suggested I sew up a Halloween costume for Myrtle.
I thought about it, but I knew Myrtle wouldn’t cooperate with having a costume
put on her. When I saw the announcement for this blog hop, I thought it’d be a great opportunity to celebrate Myrtle’s
alter ego in a different way.
I designed and stitched a wool felt wall hanging that now hangs in Julianna's apartment.
So I present to you, “Danger Dog!”

After I gave Julianna the piece to hang in her apartment, she managed to get Myrtle to pose with it and got some great pics.
Thank you Myrtle for being so cooperative, (and thanks to Julianna for the photos), and it seems like you approve of my homage!
