This wool blanket was a wedding gift from my Aunt Esther when Bill and I married in 1981. It kept us warm for over 20 years. In 2003, our 7th rescue dog and 3rd Airedale, Shadow, chewed his way down through the blanket, top sheet, etc. to retrieve a rawhide chew one of the smaller dogs had left under the covers.
