They do care very much as they will see, feel and smell the love on them, and the choice of fabrics is ideal, so warm and hard wearing. I know as my little doggie, the one in my avatar is a rescued fur-baby and she loves ALL quilts and anything connected with them, especially the batting.

Congratulations of getting you DD n GDD in helping you out with such lovely gifts, it sounds as tho' they have inherited your kind heart.

I'm sure you have made life a little more comfortable for some special furbabies waiting for their forever home. These blankies are very, very cute. Thank you for posting the pictures. I may have to borrow the concept for the kitty beds I make. Many blessings to those who make the lives of the furbabies just a little better.

God Bless you for making those beautiful quilts. I would bring home a bunch of shelter dogs if I could. We have our puppywog that we adopted seven years ago when he was only 3 months old. He is our fur baby and he has his very own snow towels and quilts for camping. Anything we can do for shelter animals is wonderful. Thank you for sharing your wonderful gift.

I have always been a dog lover.most shelter pets have done nothing wrong to get them there.I feel like it it the least I can do to make them a comfy spot to rest. all 4 of my current dogs came from shelters-they are my little pack
