Wow; a lot of mixed answers on this. But thank you ; I do appreciate all your different comments. I haven't talked to my son yet, but will see him Friday and mention it then. I am sure he was just ashamed about it happening and didn't want to say anything to me ,to hurt my feelings. I was shocked at first, when I saw the quilt; but reading all your comments---it sunk in that it was just a "thing". it can be patched or replaced. The dog is gone now and it wasn't her fault. I never blamed the dog anyways. It's the people that don't think. If he wants me to patch it , I will , just so it doesn't fall apart more .
