Evidence of Zoey the Thief

   This is what's left of my favorite...and only... size 7 short single point knitting needles.  Zoey dug it out of my knitting bag and chewed it up during the night.  She took it to Jeff,  just now, to show him what she had done.  Now I've got to get a new pair of short needles.  I thought they were safe in my knitting bag covered by an afghan.  Will I ever learn?
