Very Cool Quilt

What a great surprise!

I was trying to get this Quilt made as a gift for Gabi

after I saw a similar one at the

Bernese Mountain Dog Specialty Health Auction in San Diego in April!

I had no Idea that at the same time,

Gabi was negotiating to have it made for me for my birthday!

Little did we know that a clandestine group of Bernese Mountain Dog Lovers

were conspiring to surprise us both!

They Did!

A Very Special Thank You to Vickie Hall and Dino Candelaria

for recreating this Masterpiece with our own little Surf Dog Nani!

The surprise would not have happened without the very cleaver conniving of

Amy Baklund, Pat Long and Joye Neff.

Thank you all so very much.

We will treasure this forever!
