glad you got your quilt done, and glad you have room in your bed for your pets. My 2 dogs are both 100 lbs. there isn't room for them and my DH and me. And my bed's a queen. So they each have their own. But when DH is at work the Male takes over as the owner of our bed. My dogs are not dogs either, there my kids. My mother just HATES it. She is not an animal lover. But Dad's a farmer!! Wonder where I get my love of animals from. Spent most of my life in the barn instead of in the house. Now its the other way around, making quilts all day long. I love it!! Can't wait to see pics of your quilt! I'll be looking!

I solved my animal problem. I had two of my first quilts folded and ready to give to the homeless shelter. THen I decided to use them on my bed after my my dear husband passed away. I only had a ShitZui at the time. They are one person dogs. He was my husband's companion his last two years. When he died, Poochie ( who was adopted) was lonesome. My Gdaughter is a vet tech and said he missed Gpa. One day she drove in and handed me this little five week old puppy just the length of my hand. First month Pooch didn't know whether to eat her or stomp on her. Now, 3 years later, they're best buds and both sleep on my bed. I also inherited two lovely cats from my Gdaughter. Now all four sleep on the bed. I use those old first time quilts which were pretty bad and don't worry about them. When I'm having company, I yank them off and throw my good ones on the bed. It's great to see them all cuddled together. And they keep my feet warm. Yes, it gets cold in Florida.

I'm looking forward to seeing your quilt!
After many years of not having a pet in bed, DH recently caved in and now lets our cat in. His reasoning for years was that there were two, they could keep each other company. But we had to have one put down in November... Eventually DH agreed that our Six (pronounced "Cease") was lonely and could come in.
Ahhh... Bliss! Well, at least until about 5 AM when he starts wanting breakfast. Better than any alarm clock!

There are three repeated sayings in our home----IF YOU WANT THE BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE, YOU'LL HAVE TO MOVE THE CAT-------NO OUTFIT IS COMPLETE WITHOUT CAT HAIR-------- I'M SORRY BUT CAT HAIR IS A CONDIMENT IN OUR HOUSE! Mrsjdt

Camilla, congrats!!!! You will love yourself and your quilt for finishing. I well understand that pressure we put upon ourselves "get it done, get it done, get it done" along with the millions of other things to do. I am so happy for you that you finished it. Now you can smile every single day when you make your bed with your beautiful new creation on it. Can't wait to see the pix!

Don't think bad of me but our dogs have there own bed in our sun room....because our boy dog thinks he is my bodygaurd and when he was allowed to sleep in the bed he wouldn't let DH touch me....he even bit him....mind you this is a Chihuahua that thinks he is ten feet tall and bullet proof....Dh wasn't having that so they have their own bed and seem to be quite happy with that....:-)
And we would love to see your quilts....please.....
