Instructors Hunter Bufkin and Christine Bowman, owners of Tales and Tails, taught attendees how to knit cozy blankets with their choice of four yarn colors. The instructors walked guests through the steps to create the blankets that are perfect for curling up with a favorite dog or book. Attendees were kept entertained by ODHS puppies that were happy to get the attention and lots of snuggles. Proceeds from “Blankets and Puppies” were donated to the care of ODHS rescue dogs, which are saved from neglect, hoarding and other situations, as well as taken from high-kill shelters where they would otherwise have been euthanized.
