We animal friends appreciate those little things you do to care for us. I’d like to share a neat tip to turn a blanket into a bed for your beloved animal companion. This is particularly useful while traveling. Lay a large blanket on a flat surface and fold it in half. Next, neatly roll the longer end of the blanket up about halfway. With the rolled portion of the blanket positioned closest to you, use your right hand to grab onto the right corner of the rolled portion and your left hand to hold onto the right corner of the unrolled portion. Then pull the corner you’re holding with your left hand down to the rolled section and towards the left about one-third or one-half the length of the blanket depending on its size, while rotating the corner you’re holding with your right hand up and over to create a triangle. At this point, your right hand should be above your left. Do the same thing to the other side. Then tuck in the corners so they form a nice circle and smooth out the blanket so it lays flat. Now it’s ready for your furry friend to sleep in!

“Every time I buy a losing ticket, I get a little smarter.”
