Emma (moose mama) is one of the most amazing and generous people I've ever known. I have not had the pleasure of meeting her in person and that makes what she did for me even more special. I will never forget the day I received the beautiful quilt she made for me and my heart dog, Zooie. This is what I posted on flickr after the quilt arrived in the mail: "Last week I opened up a package that was delivered to my house. When I removed the contents, I couldn't believe my eyes! As I unfolded what appeared to be a quilt I began to see Zooie's face. On this beautifully sewn quilt was 12 photos of my handsome doberboy! Tears started to fill my eyes as I examined every inch of this beautiful quilt. I brought it over to my husband to show him and tears filled his eyes. I looked at him and I began to sob. I just couldn't believe this most beautiful of gifts. This incredible quilt came from Emma (moose mama) from flickr!!!! I have never had the pleasure of meeting this most generous and loving lady in person. We only know of each other through flickr, but she spent hours on this quilt of Zooie for me. She too loves Dobermans and loves dogs. She wanted me to have this quilt while I still have Zooie with me. So, every night when it gets chilly, I cover my precious boy with "his" quilt. One day, not too far from now, Zooie will go to be with God. My heart will break. But as I heal, I will have this most wonderful of gifts to cuddle with and look at and cherish forever. This quilt is one of the most amazing gifts I've ever received." To me, Emma is, and always will be an angel on earth. She made my last days with Zooie even more special. Today, with my boy gone, I have this quilt that covered him as he rested. Having it before he died made it more a celebration of his life than a sad memorial. Emma wanted me to have it while Zooie was alive. Now I understand why. So.....I am truly blessed to have Emma in my life, even if it is only through flickr. She will always have a special place in my heart. I hope to meet her one day. It's good to know that if not on earth, I will surely meet her in heaven. Karla
