Greeting you at Reluctant Quilter is my champion lounge dog, Raven, the extra large Standard Poodle. This picture perfectly shows one of her main talents– sleeping on one of my quilts. She particularly likes to stretch out on top of whatever quilt I may have laid out on the floor for pinning. I know she just wants to be close, but it can make the job of laying out a quilt to be a bit of a challenge. She is, however, always looking for love so I have a hard time getting mad at her. I just have to lure her away with a toy or a treat and carry on until the next time she comes over and plops herself down. She is not small and can stretch that long, lean body across an entire queen size quilt when necessary. She’s a champion!
