Some Puppy Love This Valentine's Day

“Dogs are not our whole lives, but they make our lives whole.”  - Roger Caras

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!  The book “Marley & Me” by John Grogan is about the love between a man and his dog.  This heartwarming story will make you laugh, cry, and fall in love with spirited dog.  The book was written based on newspaper columns John had written about his dog Marley.  On St. Valentine’s Day, some newspaper roses to celebrate love (yes, even the love between a man and his dog) are sure to brighten your day and fill your heart with love.

Materials:

·         Newspapers

·         Floral wire

·         Floral Tape

·         Scissors
