Maybe your friend's dog was equally drawn to the love and comfort of your quilt...
Your dog and ours were cut from the same cloth, to coin a phrase. Bess will lay on a dirty t-shirt if it is on the floor. I made her a quilt big enough to lay on, big enough to cover her up with on a cold winter night. She ate it!!!!!!! Chewed holes all over it.......to the point that it wouldn't keep her warm anymore. She loved that quilt. Now she is older (10) and I can put anything over her to keep her snuggled (which she loves) (especially a down quilt - queen sized - and literally crawls under it,can't even see her. She is happy, warm, content. At least I know she appreciated the quilt I made her. I think our fur babies appreciate their warmth from a quilt more than we will ever know. It has our smell on it!!!!!!! Edie
