Just a goofy post. Please read in a dramatic voice.
I made my dad an extra long quilt (he’s 6ft 5in) for his birthday that was supposed to be “life-proof.” It’s machine-washable, dark colors to hide stains and quilted tighter than suggested for maximum ‘hold-it-together’ power.
My dad is a semi-retired farmer, so this quilt has been used to cover machinery, catch animals, and exist in the way he needs it to while allowing my poor mother to just throw it in the wash and call it a day.
Now, the semi-retirement means my parents got their first-ever lap dog. He’s a crusty white shitzu Pomeranian mix named Dusty (because he looks like a dust bunny). My father decided that he could share the quilt with the puppy. The puppy took offense (he takes offense to everything, I’ve never seen a dog with such side-eye) and tried to EAT THE QUILT.
My poor father felt awful and very shamefully called me to tell me the news. I expected wayyyy more damage. It’s maybe two inches of tearing.
