Pets on Quilts


Ben is 1, and Frisco is 7


These two are difficult to photograph.  They could really care less about cooperating.  My technique was to throw a couple of patchwork quilts on the sofa, and entice them with treats.  I didn't have great results, but decided to share them anyway.

Ben and Frisco are shelter dogs who came to live with us on June 2nd.  They're great guys and we are so lucky to have them in our lives.  Ben is a small terrier mix, 10 lbs., and Frisco is an American Cocker mix, and he weighs 32 lbs.  Ben has a large personality and believes he's in charge, while Frisco is very mellow, which is a good thing because he's incredibly strong.

May your bobbins always be full,

    Such good babies, I'm so happy to see them here, although it looks like Ben left the party early :) Lucky little rescues.

    Nothing completes a house more than stray threads and dog fur! Congratulations on your new family members, they're darling :)

    So adorable! I love how Ben has one paw in the air as if to say "I'm not sure if I'm allowed to touch the quilts"!
