Good Morning friends..thanks for the advice... I am so standing my ground with Meadow believe me and dh is on my side. He reminded me this morning that the Uncle of dh has an OCD about being clean. So I hace come up with something to quell that one.. I am going to make him a puppy quilt that will go along with us for him to lay on. I also chatted with a friend last night about this and she suggested that I do a video of meadow and I working together at school, at walmart and all of the places I go...then we are going to send it to them. luvstoquilt thanks for the offer and it sounds wonderful. As christmas gets closer I will let you know.
