Good Morning! Bess does not pose - this is just natural for her. When I make a quilt she has to lay down on it or sit on it. Actually, when I lay the blocks out and decide where they should go, she lays down on them! I made her a quilt. Good idea for an over-abundance of stash - make Kitty Kovers or Bowser Blankies!!!!!! She loves hers. As a matter of fact, I thought I would make a quilt for the dogs in our family for Christmas - which would amount to seven. Bess likes to be covered up. Edie
