In particular, the ones with metal points are usually used as a fly-shuttle; you wouldn't want to catch that point on your pinkie like you would a hand-shuttle!Sandra Rudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04691078578557110217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-13285653807665192712011-12-05T11:54:54.887-08:002011-12-05T11:54:54.887-08:00Cool shuttle!

I can imagine how something this serious throws every semblance of routine and normalcy for a loop. I send my best healing wishes to him, and hope he can be settled back in by Christmas for you.<br /><br />When the dust does settle, what a joy it will be to throw that beautiful !!! shuttle! I'm sure I've not seen one like it.

Someday I would love to see a picture of your collection en mass.<br />Lucky Callie, staying at a dog resort is good medicine for a young dog. I know a lot of people who take their onsie dogs to the dog park or a day care at least once a week for play dates. Maybe something Bruce would like to do in the future too. You meet some wonderful dog lovers that way, and who doesn't like to see a bunch of dogs playing?<br />I totally understand about lack of interest in the toys when someone is sick.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574936988046982209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-57521704966036971332011-12-04T03:45:33.011-08:002011-12-04T03:45:33.011-08:00Hi Susan,

You have a lot on your plate, so you take care of yourself. Wishing you both all the best. Weaverly yours ...
