Jim and I decided to adopt our foster dog, Sadie. She has been with us for a year, she's 12 1/2 yo. She likes it here and we have gotten attached to her too. She had a not so good life before she came to us and doesn't need to go through the new home process again. So as a welcome to our family gift I made her a place mat for her food and water dishes. I used left over fabrics from the aprons I had made for Jodi and I for dog walking at the shelter. It is approx 16x22, has a thin layer of batting inside to help soak up the water from her chin, (she is a very sloppy drinker!).
