The dog quilt is completed. I used a design of dog bones and paw prints for the quilting. The backing fabric choice changed but the rawhide bones worked well for the border.
Being inspired by Buster from Carol's Crafty Creations I wanted to try a photo shoot with Mosley. I do not have a cooperative group!
Even with cookies in my hand, he had to be led out with a leash and would only tolerate this silliness for a brief moment.
But oh well...the quilt is done and will be given to my friend soon.
Other news is not so good. Bridget has been blind since her bout with pneumonia for some still unknown reason and though improving in strength, the blindness and weakness from the arthritis had reduced her life to mostly challenges. While sleeping Tuesday evening, she started tensing up and shivering which were signs of her fighting off a fever. Her distress increased quickly and we knew that we needed to let her go. We were able to get comfort for her quickly (thanks to a pet ER) but it was very sad to say good bye to her.
Bridget and her sister, Sandy came to us from the county animal shelter 6 years ago. We have been so blessed by these girls. Sandy has some health issues of her own now so our days with her may be short as well. We are grateful for each moment we are given of our dogs being happy and able to enjoy their life.

Oh, I'm so sorry. It is never easy to say goodbye to our dogs, even when we know that it is best for them. Praying that you will find comfort in your memories of your sweet Bridget. {{hug}}
ReplyDeleteIt is so hard to lose a family member..and she was just that. I'm so sorry.
ReplyDeleteso sorry, that is hard...
ReplyDeleteThe dog quilt is really nice, too bad the pets don't pose when you want them to. It always has to be their idea.
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to comfort you in having to let Bridget go. It is always the hardest job of responsible pet lovers. Give Sandy extra hugs and keep her healthy and spoiled as long as you can.
Even knowing that we may have to make that decision some day doesn't make it any easier. Like all good dogs she will be missed.
