She even ate the drywall off the wall in our garage once :) I will say that Katie did eventually slow down and was less destructive, unfortunately it took over 8 years for that to happen :)Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15612686505076697159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901250017057336746.post-30291798192713557832022-06-06T11:06:46.218-04:002022-06-06T11:06:46.218-04:00I'm thinking you named her Gracie when you got...I'm thinking you named her Gracie when you got her as a wee pup as a premonition for the things that would surely come and for your ability to show her grace, lol!

But I know. She's too sweet when she's being good. And you're all terribly attached. I would feel the same way. I love dogs, but some can really try your patience. I don't have a large tote bag pattern to suggest, but I'm sure that someone will, and that there are lots of them - including freebies - that you'd like. Sorry you have to go through making another one, but enjoy the anticipation of having something new!FlourishingPalmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13191140553844000267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901250017057336746.post-70783873070031237202022-06-03T13:17:56.489-04:002022-06-03T13:17:56.489-04:00Gracie is adorable!

She came back on her own volition about a half-hour later, but he was SO MAD and claimed he didn't love her anymore. Less than 24 hours later, the two were snuggled up on the couch together, naughty puppy behavior all forgotten.

But how can you blame that lovely face? And if she's a snuggler, I think that's grounds for forgiveness. (Side note: no idea why I couldn't comment with Google as usual!

I made it from a FQ book, but now it's available online free--grab 6 coordinating FQs and some lining fabric.
