when i saw this at my grandma’s house on my last visit home (for her birthday) i thought it was totally hysterical. her dog got ahold of her fly swatter and used it as a chew toy until the outside perimeter was eaten away. hahaahhahahaaa!!! i had to get a picture of it. i have much appreciation for the earlier generations that will use everything until there is not an ounce of use left in it. after all……………………….. flies are small!!!! cheers to you grandma…you’re the best, xoxo.
