It's all about the dog. The quilt is incidental.
She dominates.
She fills whatever space she enters.
I love this little rat!
These pictures are eight years old and she is much changed. She is mostly blind and deaf and has an inoperable tumor that will eventually carry her away. But, she gets frisky about her kibble and will still spin for treats. I'm loving her and taking care of her to the end.
About the quilt. My sister made it, entirely I think, from scraps from our old clothes, little tops & dresses we sewed for ourselves in high school. I used it for picnics and outdoor concerts throughout my twenties and just generally abused it. It's made of tough stuff and I appreciate it more now.
For some reason, I can't get the button on my blog, but go here to see and vote (tomorrow and Sunday) on all the Pets on Quilts entries!

What a sweet, loveable, loyal pet. Love the second photo!!
She's a lucky dog to have you for her forever home.
What a cute looking dog. She looks as though she was full of energy at that time.
What a sweetie.
What a cutie! Love the quilt, too. :)
I love it when a pet is such a true companion. Sammie looks like a true sweetie.
Sammie reminds me of the terrier my Mom had... Mitzi had a set of three spots that looked like a hidden Micky... She was tiny in height by weight, well lets say she loved treats... she lived to be 16years old...
She is a lovely and sweet dog! A hug!
What a wonderful, sweet dog!
What a sweetie, I'm sure she has been a joy to you!
She is beautiful, she looks exactly like my in-laws dog. Wonderful quilt she is on, thanks for sharing.
AHH how cute - i remember when our little dog was younger, he would always sleep in our blanket like that .

awwwww!!!
She is such a sweetie. It's so hard to watch them age. I always feel that's when we give back so much of the love they have given us. Thanks for sharing your story. The quilt is beautiful too.
Hi! what a sweetie, they do enrich our lives don't they. I have a JRT called Sam (boy though) he is 10 years old we think and had a tumour removed last year, so far the cancer hasn't returned. My other dog is nearly 18.1/2, very deaf and nearly blind and we are doing the same as you, caring for her as best we can, she too has her moments and gets excited for her dinner - especially if there is some cooked chicken in it.
Sammie is a real sweetie and your sister did a great job on this beautiful quilt!
Meet my dog Zoran too!
Of course she dominates--as she should!
She is just adorable. My dog spins, too, when we put her dish down. What is that all about, I wonder?
Sammie is certainly in charge of that quilt! She sounds like a great friend.
Love reading about your Sammie! Thanks so much for sharing!
Love your adorable pics. Sure they are treasures to you now. Poor sweet pup Sammie is so lucky to have you love and care for her. That sounds like a treasure of a quilt too!
awww what a cutie!
CUTE or what!!!

What a sweetie! And that is actually one cute quilt - I love the durable ones that you can beat up. Keep hugging your little one as long as you can - they warm your heart, for sure.
Sammie looks like she is daring you to take that quilt!
JRT's are little ratters aren't they! I must confess when my husband in our dating days announced he had a dog and this untrained crazy dog came into my life, it was not love at first site. But now, I to am totally in love with my little JRT. Your sister did an amazing job on that quilt, it looks beautiful.
Aw, she is so sweet! How fortunate for her that she is at her forever home! Love the quilt...such memories!
She is so cute. I love the quilt that your sister made, and to think it was made from old clothes! Wow!
Oh I love her! What a sweetie!
Sammie is a heart breaker. So cute. Loved that quilt too. You and your sister wore very colourful clothes.
Sammie is certainly blessed to have his forever home and enjoys the love of your family each and everyday.
awww What a sweet face! And a very fun memory quilt to have.
Great photos!! The quilt is really pretty and the dog is precious!
Sammie sounds like a wonder :)
