sockpup proliferation

I've been on a bit of a sockdog sewing kick lately. I think these are the last ones for a bit, but who knows, there might be other lonely socks in the bottom of a basket somewhere begging for reincarnation.

I made these lovepups for my dear friends who are backpacker/outdoorsy, dog loving types and who both still treasure their childhood stuffed animals. Not exactly a typical wedding gift, but I though it suited their zany-ness. Besides, they have all the gear they need, but they didn't have adventure softies to take with them. So I stepped in to fill the gap.
Each pup has a backpack to take on trips and a flannel sleeping mat that fits inside. The sleeping mats can be used separately,
or they can be tied together for optimal cuddling. Which is how they like it.
