Very thoughtful and creative of you to do this for Roberta. I'm sure it will give her comfort. Losing a pet or giving one up is hard. She is not only moving and giving up her home, she is also losing her best friend. Give her a big hug from me!

What an incredibly touching thing to do to show how much you care. My heart goes out to Roberta. As I sit here trying to type one handed because one of my dogs is cuddled up on my chest... I can only imagine how difficult this life change is for your friend. You are very sweet to have created this quilt.

Thanks everyone. Roberta moved to her "adult care" facility last Thursday.... she took the quilt with her. She still hears Ebonys' bark.... Roberta says this is a new chapter in her life. I'm going to try to remember this for my later years. If I could have half the wisdom and grace!!

Such a thoughtful gift. I am sure she will really appreciate it. Question-is someone able to keep her dog for her? If so and it's well behaved they might be allowed to take her dog in to visit her on a regular basis? Just a thought.

Roberta's aging Ebony had many health issues and was "hanging on" for Robertas' company. Monday last week, Ebony fell asleep in my arms for the last time. Thank you all for your wishes. Very peaceful passing for her..... me, well, not so much.

What a cute idea using her dogs bandana and you are a caring friend to think of it. How heartbreaking for your friend that she and her cocker spaniel must be seperated. I hope he's found a loving home.
