It is hard to lose a family pet.....let alone a devoted assistant. I am sorry to hear of your loss.
Yes, Lexie is a fan of my quilts.
The quilt in her mouth is part of one that I had purchased to cover the couch over 20 years ago when I got my first boxer puppy. It is from the esteemed K-Mart collection.....LOL. I cut that worn and well used one up into 6 sections to fit in Lexie's crate. She loves to "love" on them. The one currently on the couch is from the well known WalMart collection, LOL.
Fortunately for her, I have yet to actually make one for her to tear up.
A few years ago I went to a quilt shop with my SIL. She could not believe that I was buying new fabric for a quilt for Otis. I told her he needed a flannel quilt and I didn't have a used one for him. We had two dogs and each one had at LEAST one summer and one winter quilt. Our Lab didn't like the quilts until he got to be about 10 - then his old bones liked the quilts too.
