Now we have a complete fenced back yard for the dogs to run in. I love your videos and sharing of your pets. They are blessings in our lives. The hand quilting is looking just beautiful! Makes me want to start one by hand. It has been a while since I finished one, but you inspire me. I am sewing some batting together for a table runner in the morning. Had to look it up to see how you do it. Thanks for the tips and lessons. Sleep well knowing your babies are safe and tired.Charhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13482247288691596891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-11920131386609497432022-04-28T22:30:29.794-04:002022-04-28T22:30:29.794-04:00Having a safe place for your dogs outside is equal...Having a safe place for your dogs outside is equal to having a safe place for your heart!Luciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15278780998319651026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-12743797505997968902022-04-28T21:05:26.399-04:002022-04-28T21:05:26.399-04:00So happy to hear that the doggies came on home!

We had neglected to close the outer door and we guessed that she jumped against the glass door and it opened for her. She wasn't lost but she was pacing the front yard and suffering in the heat while she was waiting for us. Of course, it was a long, hot Texas afternoon. I surely know the anxiety of worrying about a pet. Your babies must have had a wonderful time running and all's well that ends well.

He was only about 7 lbs and I was terrified he would be hit by a car. Ran out in my bare feet looking all over for him, got the neighborhood kids looking. Finally had to go back home to get some shoes on and there he was on the back deck barking to get in the house.

Thank you for showing your stars quilt with the Bishops Fan quilting design. I have a Lone Star quilt top almost ready to layer and quilt. I plan to use the Bishops Fan design on it. Ever since you wrote the blog about quilting the Bishops Fan without using a template I have kept in mind using the Bishops Fan design for my Lone Star quilt. It is made in Red, White and Blue.<br />Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13146834008601305781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-15664462595318227092022-04-28T17:06:23.848-04:002022-04-28T17:06:23.848-04:00How scary when they don't return when called, ...How scary when they don't return when called, especially after that long! They just couldn't resist the 'call of the nose'! So glad they returned, safe from harm, and together - but oh, what a scare for you! We just had to put our elderly Coton de Tulear, Sadie, down. She stopped eating and made it clear it was time. She would always come to me when called, but our other dog, Abbie? No, she has a mind of her own....stubborn as can be, but so affectionate and loving. She turns 9 this fall and we've decided we won't have any other dogs when she crosses the bridge -- our hearts aren't able to stand the 'good bye's' anymore.Deb Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09228981639071809351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-54244354800103509312022-04-28T15:33:35.952-04:002022-04-28T15:33:35.952-04:00Dear Bonnie, I'm so glad your puppies came ho...Dear Bonnie, I'm so glad your puppies came home. I would have been frantic! They are so precious to us. I deal with the same thing on the dual lanyard leash with our two shih tzus when we go on our walks. Bella and Luna are sisters from the same liter. They have lots of toys and if I buy 2 of the same toy, they still fight over one toy. They want the toy the other one has. Yes, when they follow their noses they turn off their ears. I love your blog and your beautiful quilts!RoxySherburnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00458022625747000910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-42520060150933040452022-04-28T14:34:27.351-04:002022-04-28T14:34:27.351-04:00I understand the hesitation in leaving but they ca...I understand the hesitation in leaving but they came home and that's all that matters.

I have indoor cats, but they have occasionally gotten out and it took almost a week before one came home. It is so nerve wracking. You love them so much and are so concerned for their well-being. So glad they were home when you arrived back there - muddy and tired even!

I grew up in the country where dogs could have a good run. My aunt lived next door and they had the brother of our dog. Dogs need a good run, but they are still goofy at times. So glad for you that the story has a good ending. Now I have cats that always stay on my large property but once in a while, one doesn't come when I call. Little cats can hide in the woods. I know that but all your thoughts go through my mind, too. We love our furry family. If only they could use cellphones and call us.

Still have the labs but our coon hound got over the fence. We're on 2 plus acres but that wasn't enough for our loving, beautiful, smart coon hound. We went searching and found her body a quarter mile away. She was hit by a car. It took 3 years and the acquisition of a dachshund, for the heart ache to ease. We now have a half acre fenced around our house and regularly check and recheck for digging. The dachshund can't jump a 6 ft. fence. We're in our 70s and these will probably be our last 'kids'. We love them so very much. I'm happy your girls returned safe!

I'm really happy to hear of your solution so that doesn't happen again. A heart can only take so much! :) Living the "spring that never came" in Minnesota, I had an amazing quilt retreat weekend, followed by a really great quilt guild meeting last night. All the quilty "feels" are going strong here. While I may be the last person ever to complete "Frolic," I made loads of progress on it at retreat and it is now my single, current project, so there's hope! ;)Suzanne Shearonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08259808394014687235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-45833739296821712842022-04-27T17:17:58.855-04:002022-04-27T17:17:58.855-04:00My daughter had rescued a dog and he was content a...My daughter had rescued a dog and he was content and finally used to his new home. My daughter and her husband traveled to a different state with close friends the dog was fine but the door got left open and he went on an explore. His adoptive sister went looking and brought him home after a couple hours. He crashed on my daughter's lap and wouldn't move for quite a while. Dogs can't express their feelings. Yours felt a need to run and did but they knew where they would be safe a d followed their own scent home. It happens to most pet owners at some point.stitchinpennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06341867288910993051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-45029511506186045182022-04-27T16:49:09.619-04:002022-04-27T16:49:09.619-04:00Hey my daughter has greyhounds and she put one of ...Hey my daughter has greyhounds and she put one of those tile things and put the app on her phone to track them .. one of her dogs got away and yes they run fast.
