Time for a doggie gate! About time for special training for her. You will be in trouble if she figures out how to flush! lol that would be expensive. She is sooo cute. Love those ears.

To the whomever asked: yes, my DH puts the seat and lid down 99.9% of the time. It is usually that .1% that I go in the middle of the night and sit where one shouldn't. I told him if he didn't want me to tie 'it' in a knot, he better never leave it up again. Bless his heart, he reallly does do well.

wvdek........the training is in progress and actually is going very well. This is our 3rd shepherd over the past 20yrs and in comparison, she's very bright but wow is she an independent spirit! Her personality makes everything we do with her fun....even the training. Our 7yr old shepherd is a male and everything with him was very relaxed and laid back. Just his personality.
And you know.....that same threat worked wonders for my son and husband too! They didn't want any threats being made towards "it"!

Tula....the pattern is called an Amish Wedding Ring. I found it in a book titled Encyclopedia of 101 favorite quilting patterns. There is another post on this board about the quilt pattern and unfortunately I'm not able to post/share the pattern on here because of copyright issues. Others have done a search looking for the pattern on-line and weren't able to find it :(

thanks so much! Will look at library and ask some quilting friends if they have the book!

I'm sorry that happened, but it made me laugh out loud to see your pictures....I'm a sucker for the 'sad eye' look as well! :)

Not only close the lid, but when you do go in there, look before you sit and tell everyone else to do the same.
LOL.

Beautiful quilt! I'm sorry that it happened to you, but glad it made you post pictures!

That is soooo funny! My point exactly.....didn't anyone see that marrow bone in there when they sat down????? I am grinning from ear to ear :)

HI Lori: Be very happy that you took a picture before your son came home. Remind the men to put the cover down.....

Your quilt will be beautiful. I hope you dont have to take too long in getting it all back together.
