"Marcy commissioned me to do a rug of her dog – why I don’t know because she is a wonderful rug hooker herself. Anyway, the day I saw Toby, he had rolled in something bad, and Marcy had shampooed him with her shampoo. He was so shiny. Marcy is also a great gardener, so I gave Toby a vegetative border."
