“Several years ago one of my best friends sent my cat, Harry, a snuggle blanket that she had made.  He loved it and it is his favorite place to sleep at night, at the foot of my bed.  I thought snuggle blankets for shelter animals was a great idea.  So in 2017, I started knitting them.  Not too many months later I read a news story about Lucky’s Place and the fine work they did.  I wrote and asked if they would accept donations of snuggle blankets.  Yes, they would!!! So each month since then I have sent a box of snuggle blankets, and a monetary donation, to the shelter.

In 2018 while I was on vacation in the Tetons, I drove to Thayne to visit the shelter, meet Mary Ann, and visit with all the cats and kitties.  It was a delightful visit.  Knitting the blankets is a great pastime; planning the colors and especially making brown and gold University of Wyoming snuggle blankets.  Go Cowboys!!!”
