Straw Dog

A Straw Dog is like a stuffed animal for people who can’t afford one. Typically MaMa or GiGi might use some old clothes and shape it like a dog and fill it with straw, hence the term Straw Dog.

I made that old Straw Dog for my daughter when her Gigi passed. I used my mothers old clothes and made a puppy stuffed with hay.
