| The blue-eyed Winston
was the sweetest dog I have ever known.
I adopted him at the age of
one year from the ARF (Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons) when his owners
were moving to Europe.They
also lived in Manhattan.
Winston’s favorite “toy” was a bluepillow
from the sofa, which he would carry around in his mouth. This is the blue
fabric that forms the border of his square for the quilt. On Christmas
Eve, at the age of six and a half, he had trouble breathing. The vet came
out to x-ray him on Christmas Eve, but within three days, Winston died in my
arms, a victim of lung cancer.
He will always be with me.
