To preface - I have a very strange family.

My older sister is probably one of the strangest.  She has requested a solution for the times she misses the family dog - a four-year-old Shih Tzu named Oscar.  Specifically, she misses his paws - she loves the little pads of his feet and the soft, fuzzy white fur.  So, she has asked me to make her a replica of my dog's paw, something that she thinks would be the cutest ever to find unexpectedly in the bottom of her purse during a boring day at work.  This is a little baffling but sounds like a fun challenge.  Anyone have any suggestions?  I primarily knit, but I also dabble in other crafts, so suggest away.  What would you use to make a little dog paw?  Suede, eyelash yarn, whatever - I need help!

Thanks!
