Fleece blankets find good homes

Meet Schroeder. He and his friends at the Pet Placement Center of Chattanooga were the recipients of fleece blankets made by members of the Riverbend Fiber Arts Guild.

Here's Schroeder:

"Wow! Look at all the nice soft blankies the ladies from the Riverbend Fiber Arts Guild brought to us."

"Hey guys, com' on check these out... they are really soft..."

"We like to romp and play here at the Pet Placement Center. We especially like when people visit, adopt us and take us home with them."

"... all this romping is making me sleepy..."

"I think I'll snuggle up on my new blankie and take a little snooze."

Additional fleece blankets were donated to RIVER, the Regional Institute for Veterinary Emergencies and Referrals. Angie, a technician at RIVER, thanked the guild on behalf of the staff, dogs and cats that will love the blankets and put them to good use.

Thank You from RIVER!

The McKamey Animal Center also received nine dog pillow beds. Guild members made the beds by stuffing flannel pillowcases with scraps of fleece.
