I also have an animal story regarding quilts. One day my SIL and I were at the quilt shop and I was picking out some flannel. She asked who I was making the quilt for and I said Otis. Otis was our basset hound. She said in a very questioning voice, "you are buying new fabric for a quilt for Otis?" I said, yes, he loves my quilts. He had summer quilts and winter quilts. If he saw me sitting in the chair stitching binding down, he wanted up on my lap and covered with the quilt. I always said Otis loved my quilts more than anyone! He also had a bed in my studio so he could help me all the time!
