Surprised my Dad in March 2016 with this adorable softie to use as a geocaching trackable. Read more about Nano’s adventures at http://www.yarndancing.com/nano-the-geodog/

Today I bought the teeniest little dog collar for Nano at our local pet store. Will need to downsize them a little but happy I don’t have to make them from scratch!

Finally got all the bits and pieces sewn together! Can’t wait to surprise Dad with it in a few days’ time!

Nano the Geodog was “found” by his new owner today. I think he’ll have a lot of fun and adventures geocaching with my dad and his older “brother” Siggy (shown in the third photo).
