Welcome and I'm glad it's quilting time for you!
As for your three dogs-- I love dogs too. Had three; a red Doberman (Penny), black and tan Doberman (Mahana) and one we believe to be a "Rotterman" (Stormy) (rottweiller and doberman mix.)
Of the three, we have just Stormy left and adopted another "red" last year.
They are our treasures! We have a topic on here to post photos of our furry (or reptile) friends. Please post photos of yours,
