My neice (Annie Grin) is an Airdale. I love her to pieces. She is such an entertaining and sweet thing! When we visit she effortless jumps up on my DH and puts her paws on his shoulders and licks his face. My DH is 6'7" Annie and our 2 goldens have finally gotten used to each other. Our youngest golden used to be very afraid of Annie because she was so curious. I am sending Annie's mom your quilt picture. She is also a quilter!
