You've seen him pose with quilts

  1. Jackson is the perfect fella for quilt posing - and holder of quilts, too. How sweet a give away. I have loads of kitty prints, wouldn't doggies be fun. Bella loves her Friskies' Fiesta chicken treats and Moe - pepperoni. Oiy - if I don't get pepperoni on my pizza, totally in the dog house (hahahaha).

  2. Jackson is a great spokesperson for your work. Your quilts are wonderful. Love the one you made just for him. We are between pets at the moment. Tink passed in April. Her favorite treat was peanut butter with or without anything under it. The floor would work just as well as a cookie.

  3. What a cutie Jackson is and I love that he'll let you take his picture, mine won't. Favorite treats are the one's I make for them, I know they're spoiled rotten, but I like the baking and they like the eating.

  8. Jackson is adorable. We don't usually give our cats treats because they eat all day so when we do give them treats, they just look at it and walk away.

  9. Sorry to say, we don't have a pet at this time, but we do have 10 granddogs and 1 great granddog, but I don't know what their favorite treats are.

  11. My three girls love chicken flavored rawhide chips. They have to have at least one every day! Chicken flavor is preferred because they obsess over the chickens that live next door to us!

  12. That last pic of Jackson is priceless! He looks like such a fun dog!

  13. I was so distracted at your cute pup I didn't see your giveaway the first time! Carter's favorite treat are Little-Jac training treats. He's very picky about treats & actually spits out a lot of biscuits, but those little treats he goes wild for!

  14. Val, I have been waiting for Jackson's appearance since you posted he was making a splash yesterday :) He never disappoints, what a sweet boy! Rubi's favorite treat is carrots and Nugget loves him some turkey :) Life is good for him when his papa gets a turkey sandwich for lunch, that means Nugget gets turkey for breakfast. haha Judy

  16. My mom's dog Jasper loved Bacon bits.

  17. You have such a sense of humor and Jackson vividly comes to life through your pics and words. I have to admit our dog's (14 yrs. old and thank goodness does a lot of walking, too) favorite treat is FOOD of any kind (and I won't say anything more)!

  18. The star themed quilt looks like the perfect choice for Jackson's quilt. He steals the show along with your wonderful quilts!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Oh I love that fabric. And it looks like Jackson thinks it is pretty wonderful too. My dog Zeke LOVES moose meat. When we cut the moose up last fall hubby dried all the scraps and Zeke has been feasting on them all winter. A sure way to his heart. :)

  20. Jackson sure is cute! I think he knows it too! I would say our dogs like Milkbones a lot, but then what ever we are eating looks good to them too.

    ReplyDelete
  21. He is just to dang cute! And you know I love your work!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Jackson sure seems to get around to a lot of quilts! It was very nice of you to make him one of his own. The back of his quilt is super cute!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Lovely to see the picture of Jackson contributing to your quilt display! Glad he finally got a quilt of his own. I'd love to be included in your giveaway if you're willing to mail to the uk. My dog, Trevor, wasn't usually allowed to eat 'human' food, but as a special treat we'd let him lick out the McFlurry pots when they were nearly empty :)

  25. Good morning, Jackson is such a cuttie pie and love seeing him in the photos-what an awesome idea to make things for the pet shelter
    I wanted to comment but don't enter me in the giveaway-as I am destashing most of my quilt fabrics and books

  26. Jackson is very photogenic, and obviously doesn't mind posing for you. My cat Tibby goes ape for cat crunchies. She literally climbs into the pantry and sits with her nose up against the bag in which they are kept. When you reach for them she marches across the kitchen to her bowl with her tail up in the air, and looking back at you every step or two, just to make sure you are still coming in behind her with the treats. She cracks me up!

  27. Wow Jackson should be in the movies. Great photos and I love the quilts. I have a very finicky cat and he loves little pieces of chicken. Thank you for sharing

  28. Love Jackson... soooo cute. Yes, he should be in the movies. His little white moustache makes him look like he is smiling. It's always a good look.
    Hugs

  29. Our labrador will eat just about anything, so I don't know what her favourite snack is. It used to be socks! She learnt pretty quickly that adult socks were too big, but for years she ate any baby or kids socks she could find. I would say she has eaten between 50-100 socks in her life time. When I told the vet, she was surprised our dog was still alive. We stopped buying socks for the kids until their feet got big enough that our dog lost interest in eating the socks. My 4 year old wears socks that are much too big for him for this reason.

  30. My cat's favorite treat are the Purina Whisker Lickens and Friskies Party Mix.

    Cute quilts and dogs.

  31. I've had the privilege of meeting Jackson, & he's just as cute in person as he is in pictures. Missed you at the Kuna Quilt Show this weekend. Judy was wondering if you'd be coming. Miss you dear friend. Enjoy the rest of your summer before school starts. Victoria

  32. Jackson is such a great model! Our cat's favorite treat was Spaghettio's, how funny is that? She rarely ate any human food, but would always ask for some of my Spo's. Thank you for the giveaway, I have a couple pups in mind who would love a quilt of their very own!

  38. Our Cocker Spaniel doesn't have one favorite treat - she likes ALL people food, if given the opportunity. Silly dog.

  39. The Pugs will eat almost anything, but they are very fond of carrots! I take a bag with me to the park and the pugs come running for them. Hugs to Jackson from Romeo, Elvis and LarryPug.

  40. Jackson is so good at his job making your quilts look great! What a good dog. I have a cat that makes me feel good about my quilts. She doesn't eat treats but on occasion we share our tortilla chips with her without the salsa.

  42. Your puppy is amazing. My Rottwieler cross Shapei named Lexi love turkey drumsticks ( I know there huge) but her favourite treat is play time. She really just craves our attention.
