We have proof that Gayle's "juju" socks are magical! I'd like to know if other's have had their effects!
Here's our proof:
1. Mackenzie is doing great (even with lung mets) and she was touched by "the socks"!

NEED MORE PROOF???
Comet had an extremely low blood platelet count prior to getting the socks (non cancer related since she doesn't have cancer but she still gave me a scare with her blood count) and she was touched by "the socks". Her blood count went up by a lot since "the socks"!
[Image Can Not Be Found]
They are magical! Those East Tennessee gals are knitting them magically! I just know it!
I don't know if you have to squish the dog's face like I did with Comet, but I think you have to touch them with the magical socks while wearing them.
M-A-G-I-C, I say - Magic!
(Jimmers - don't you make any snide comments on how pretty and petite Kami's feet are compared to my clodhoppers!)
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
I dont have any magic gayle juju socks, but they sure are beautiful!!! I especially like Kami's (blue is my favorite color). I think the secret is that every stitch is woven with lots of positive energy and love

Chloe became a rear amp tripawd on 7-29-10. Another tumor was removed on front leg 2-20-14. Found 3rd tumor on neck 2-2015, but she's still kicking cancer's butt at age 14. Chloe's blog

No worries, and I'm not about to post pics of my boats either. But for the record, my new Gayle JuJu fly-fishing socks did not help me catch anything, though the sure did keep my feet warm!

You have to be sick! Just wait until you get sick - then rub their magical powers on you! They do regular sock things otherwise.
Chloe's mom - mine are the prettiest! So there.

we make no medical claim...we are not doctors, nor do we play them on tv. it is the positive energy from gayle, through each stitch, that does make them special... the magic is in the moment!!!

Life is good, so very, very good!!! Gayle enjoyed each and every moment of each and every wonderful day (naps included). She left this world December 12, 2011 – off on a new adventure.

Yes!!! These juju socks are most definitely magical!! I can fully attest to this claim! Not only have they magically touched Mackenzie and me but they've also magically touched Kobe (and for him to be magically touched - that's saying a lot!) He loves to cuddle with them like Mackenzie does . But I do have to keep them in a safe place - otherwise he'll be slobbering all over them and tossing them around like he does with his dad's socks that he steals from the laundry basket.
These are by far the most special socks we've ever had because we know where they came from - the positive energy and fur strands of Gayle!
We love our socks!! And we know that they are MAGICAL! So thank you Gayle and Charon for knitting these beautiful socks!
Oh and Comet, I won't make any snide comments about your clodhoppers 
(but I bet my shoe size is bigger than yours...na na na na)
My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!

Wow. Those are beautiful magical juju socks. You can feel all that powerful energy just from the photos.
Ge'Lena I think the only reason your feet MAY like clodhoppers is because Comet simply has a very small head. Which also means that Mackenzie must have a freakishly large one.
Charon, you are very talented with those knitting needles.

Ok…I take that back…..sorry, my mistake (I'm only trying to cover up what Carmen said about Mackenzie 
- it's true, the secret's out – Mackenzie's Mom's feet are bigger than what they appear to be - but not double digits!! Bwwaawahhahwa!!!

I love love love my juju socks. They are simply gorgeous! I picked out the purple yarn – voodoo. The multi-color was a surprise! Love that we have such talented and sharing friends here. What a blessing for us all.
PS. Let me assure you this photo does not do them justice. Now that I look at it, I'm thinking I shall go try again. A photographer, I'm not!

I wanted to add some more feet to the magical Gayle Juju Sock festival!
I think us Texans are a shoe-in for the prettiest feet contest! Don't you Shanna? The magical powers are for real. These socks make me feel like "Happy Feet" the Emperor Penguin......Dancing, tapping, and sliding the afternoon away. Fortis is sure I'm a nut case now. We love our socks and Fortis loves his Juju ball. Thanks Charon, Gayle, and Jane.

Well I can attest to the magical powers. I wore them to the casino yesterday and I won! I sent Charon a note and told her how magical they really are. Granted, I only won a dollar and seventy-five cents, but hey, it wasn't a loss! I'll be wearing my colorful juju's for all casino visits now.
I'm sure the Texans have the prettiest feet, although you can't tell from my pictures, lol. The other thing I can attest to is that they not only make your feet happy, they make your heart happy. I love my socks!
