Hi Sandra the basics of needlefelting are very simple, it uses a special barbed needle which tangles the wool fibres as you stab at the wool with the needle, this helps to give the pieces some shape and substance. shaped pieces can then be applied directly to the bear when you use the needle to attach it and shape it, the longer you work on a piece the firmer and more compact it becomes. There are lots of good needlefelting sites to give you an idea of what you can do but all you really need to get started is needles, a foam block and some wool. Once you understand the principles you are only limited by your imagination!
Hope this is of some help and not too confusing

Hi Tami
Hope Tiffani is better soon, i am a veterinary nurse and the anal gland surgery does carry some risk, i would advise you talk it through thoroughly with your vet berfore making the decision. The glands are very close to the nerves which control continence and i have known rarely dogs become faecally incontinent after the surgery. It is not a common complication by any means but it is something you should be aware of.
