I solved my animal problem. I had two of my first quilts folded and ready to give to the homeless shelter. THen I decided to use them on my bed after my my dear husband passed away. I only had a ShitZui at the time. They are one person dogs. He was my husband's companion his last two years. When he died, Poochie ( who was adopted) was lonesome. My Gdaughter is a vet tech and said he missed Gpa. One day she drove in and handed me this little five week old puppy just the length of my hand. First month Pooch didn't know whether to eat her or stomp on her. Now, 3 years later, they're best buds and both sleep on my bed. I also inherited two lovely cats from my Gdaughter. Now all four sleep on the bed. I use those old first time quilts which were pretty bad and don't worry about them. When I'm having company, I yank them off and throw my good ones on the bed. It's great to see them all cuddled together. And they keep my feet warm. Yes, it gets cold in Florida.
