Yes. She is very nice, and surprisingly smart. They are not particularly known to be, but this one is.

She must be very smart; she chose to live with you!

but has anyone figured out how to use those little plugs of leather from a hole punch?

If you have the time, and patience, you could put holes in the centre and string them together to make a nice necklace? 

I have found a way of using some scraps, I use 20-25mm hole punch on veg tan scraps,  stamp a very simple single stamp, like a flower or whatever, colour them, put a small split ring on them  and I sell them for about $2 bucks each. I have to make some more now  cos I nearly sold out. Kids can buy them with their pocket money , or some peeps like to hang them on their bags etc. as decorations.

I’ve used them as leather washers or spacers.  Also if you ever need to put a rivet in a holster, I’ll take a hole punch and glue it over the top to keep from potentially scratching the firearm.

Sew them into a square pouch and use it as a light weight sandbag. Hold down tracings, prop up edges, etc.

I had thoughts of you sewing lots of wee discs together to make a pouch,    

Then I wised up and realised,     sew them up inside a pouch

Someone should make an air gun or pop gun or even an indoor catapult and use use them as ammo.

I’ve seen them strung as beads to make bracelets, necklaces or earrings but I’ve never tried it myself.

Yes, I've seen that. I had thought about going down the 'jewellery path'", earrings mainly ,   but with so many jewellery stalls at  some markets I decided not to bother.
