Like others have said, I want it to get used, but not abused. I don't want them to turn around and use it in a dog crate/house or anything. It would be more than a compliment for a baby blanket to be worn to shreds.
I am making one for my dad (hopefully for Christmas!) and I am giving it with the disclaimer that it is not to be given to his beloved dog (the man has never been an animal person until this dog, and now he does nothing but spoil her rotten). I made her a bed, he gets the quilt.
