Chihuhuas and Jack Russells

As you may or may not know, I now share my residence with two small dogs. These dogs were not what I envisioned as potential pets. I have always been a larger dog owner and  viewed myself as such.There are many challenges with owning little dogs that may or may not be obvious to those without.

1. Little dogs are scary. Not only do little dogs tend to run after people ferociously, by the nature of their size they can quickly run  around your legs faster than most larger canines.

2. Many little dogs are high energy. (aka high need) To date I've had a Vizsla and two Border Collies. While the Chihuahua can easily slip into a 12 hour nap, the energy of my Jack Russell pup  far surpasses any creature of the land, sea or air (even hummingbirds rest on occasion).

3. Many people do not like little dogs. Little dog critics will associate you with something they do not like. Sometimes I fantasize wearing a sign around my neck that says, "I used to have a big dog."

So what do Frieda (the Jack Russell) and Guero (the Chihuahua) have in common with the PA Quilt (and Rug) Trails well.........

making a super stretch

The PA Quilt (and Rug) Trails is a relatively new venture in our community. Unlike buying popcorn from the Boy Scouts or  the annual church, school, firehouse fundraiser, there's no past history. This tends to scare some people especially in these challenging economic times.

The PA Quilt (and Rug) Trails is full of energy and has some immediate needs (money, sponsors, loan of a cherry picker, painters, etc).

Not everyone in the community has yet to embrace and realize the potential benefit of the PA Quilt (and Rug) Trails. As the trail grows so will your understanding. The PA Quilt (and Rug) Trails is a means to express the beauty and talent that comprise Central Pennsylvania. By working together on a quilt communities can bond, learn and appreciate each other.
