Sausage dog :)

aw. So cute!
What a lovely thing to do

Please knit one for all of us!

I like the sausage dog that's on with the breaks in cricket on tv who says "tea? Well, just a slice of fruitcake for me"

We have adopted our DD2's sausage dog- now 16 blind, and snoring next to me on settee. Could I possibly have the pattern please? He is still very happy, but at 16, diabetic and blind, we won't have him for very much longer- Slinky has been such a good friend.

Thanks for nice replies, here is the pattern, let me know if any of it not clear enough.

So kind- but I just don't seem to be able to enlarge it and can't read it clearly, sorry. Our grand-daughter just loves Slinky and would adore one of those.

What a lovely little dog! Your niece will adore it, I'm sure.

Granjura I have pm'd you

Thank you so much- will have a look now x

Morning Bug180. I saw that you posted a picture of the sausage dog pattern, but can't make it out. Is it possible to send me a copy through PM? If so very many thanks. My grandneice has a tiny new dog, and would love one that didn't chew everything in sight.

What a lovely little dog. Make sure the real puppy doesn't get it!

Auntieflo, I pm'd you, but I will copy/paste it here too

Morning Bug 180. As I have now finished my little dachshund, I thought you might like to see him/her, although perhaps the legs could have done with a bit more stuffing. Thank you for the pattern

Fabulous, I love it

Well done Bug180 that took some doing!

(unless you pasted and copied of course )

He is very cute, just wondering if DGD2 would like him
Must finish her cardie first though.

So sweet
