Olive's Garden

Olive
This is Olive, bundled up in Kaitie's Kaffe quilt.  She looks very comfortable and deep in thought, in her own little Zen garden, doesn't she?  Olive is my daughter Kaitie's dog, adopted as a rescue four years ago.  She is the smartest and most loyal and wonderful dog anyone could wish for, but was deserted by two of her families and left to live in a chicken wire cage for somewhere around a year. For Kaitie and Olive, it was quite literally Love at First Sight.  Now, wherever Olive goes, children pet her and adults ooh and ahh.  She is friendly and polite to everyone and a true canine sweetheart!  She is also our granddog, so I like to brag.     

 You can see Kaitie's quilt, sans doggie here:  
Definitely Not De-Kaffe!

So... why a post with our beautiful Olive in a quilt?  Well... There is a great Link Party running over at Jacque's Lily Pad Quilting called the Pets on Quilts Show. You can enter your own photo of a pet on, or in, a quilt.  There are also categories for pet themed quilts.  Prizes are being awarded too!  There are a lot of wonderful pictures - it's fun to see what people are sharing -  so click on the link below, go take a peek, and leave some comment love!



And while you're here, Olive would like to get a Woof! Woof! Too...
Thanks for Visiting!  - Lara

    It gladdens my heart to hear that your sweet Olive has finally found her furever home and a happy one at that. I love the photo of her wrapped up in the quilt.

    A lot of people say rescue dogs are the only way to go. We got Rusty from someone that had to get rid of him at 5 months old due to severe allergies.

    Olive looks so happy wrapped in the quilt. And the quilt is beautiful, too.

    I really like your photo of Olive wrapped in a quilt. So far one of my favorite. Beautiful daughter too. I have been surprised at how many cute and good natured rescue dogs are around. Since I've been looking for dogs to use in my quilts I have been asking people if I may photograph their dog. I cannot believe how many wonderful rescue stories I have heard.

    Olive is a sweetie and looks so snug wrapped up. Couldn't enter Pets on Quilts unless they were prepared to count half-tame children!

    What a beautiful girl! Well, both of them! :-) And while I'm at it, so is the quilt!! Love Kaffe. I also love Olive's name. She makes me think of my Rocco in nature and our friend's pittie-puppy, Brandy, in looks. So sweet! Love her story too. Gosh this is a lotta love, no?!

    Olive looks very lovely. How nice that she found a good home at your daughter. Recently my FIL said "other people at our age have grandchildren, but we have dogs". :-) (my two SILs both have a dog)
    The Kaffe quilt is gorgeous. It is on my "someday" wish list, too.

    Hi! Olive looks so sweet and beautiful girl! I'm happy she found your family! I have had two rescued dogs, one cat and have found home for other two dogs and one cat and all of them have ended up to be the most sweet, loving, amazing pets! Very beautiful quilt, too! x Teje
