Arlo's Quilt Arlo’s Quilt
By: LizA., Washington, USA

This quilt was made for our Dalmatian, Arlo. While camping one time we caught him all curled up on the bed in our VW bus with the edge of a quilt in his mouth, trying to figure out how to cover himself with it. He knows it’s HIS quilt & insists on being covered with it when he’s on the couch.

By: Wendy L Starn, Louisiana, USA

In early 2000, we acquired litter mates Boris and Natasha. While not strays, they were the babies of a stray kitten adopted by friends. They were always aware of each other’s location in the house, and enjoyed hanging out together. Sadly, Natasha died of feline cancer in 2006, but Boris lives on.

    I’m unable to see Stars & Stripes, There’s a Bear in There, and Wishing for Spring on my new PC running IE8. I wonder how many others can’t see or vote?
