I love that we realized we needed to get a stocking for our dog, Flash. She came to us in June this year and we have been enjoying getting to know her. Suddenly, I realized it's holiday season and we needed to include her in our family for Christmas. I honestly thought I was going to receive some inexpensive (read as "cheap") item that would probably not last long. Wrong! This thing is nice and thick. It seems well made. And it looks like our wiggly, black dog. Is it silly that I've already put some treats and toys in it already? LOL
