Lisa did such a wonderful job on the piecing and the fabrics are truly beautiful! I sure hope she likes it! It is hard to see in the photos but the quilting is done in a "HONEY" colored thread, it looks great with those fabrics!
My oldest son, Andrew is a very thrifty young man. He always works and saves his money for special things that he wants. So he is always doing little odd jobs and has a fairly regular income for a 16 yr old boy. He cuts a lot of grass or once he clear cut a hillside for a man, just things like that to make money. Anyway, he loves his animals so we told him a while back that as long as he takes care of them and buys the feed for them then he can have a few. So first it was chickens, he has somewhere around 30. Next he wanted a Beagle to rabbit hunt with, so he got that. Then a few months back he decided he wanted a Great Dane! So he started working and saving before the pups were even born. Yesterday evening he got to go pick up his pup! So here he is........
He has named him DOZER! He is only 5 weeks old and as you can see he is already bigger than the poodle. The father of this pup weighs 180 lb!!! The mother weighs 150 lb before she was bred! So this little guy should be huge! 
All I can say is....I'm glad we live on a farm and this dog can run loose! Somehow I don't think my house would survive with him inside!
Now off to finish supper before the boys get home from school!!!Kristie

The quilt looks great. I am sure Lisa will love it. Dozer is cute. I hope Smokey makes him understand that 'he' is boss before Dozer becomes full grown. LOL Winona
You did great on your first (paying customer) quilt. I know the butterflies were whirling in your tummy - but all is past now. You have experience.
Dozer will be a big dog -- that is for sure! Yes, he will definitely have to be an outside dog.
That is not a puppy! That is a PONY! It is going to be bigger than all of you. LOL!!! Those dogs are meant for land, good thing you have plenty.
The quilt came out great! You are getting really good a it.

Congrats on your first customer quilt! I'm sure you were nervous! And Whoa - that is a big puppy! I love how you make your son accountable for acquiring and caring for his animals. It will serve him well in life.
