<br />
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase a handmade quilt to benefit National Airedale Rescue. 100% of the sale price goes straight to helping Airedales in need.<br />
<br />
As most of you know, the Airedale Rescue Quilting Bee is not making quilts any longer. So, this is your chance to own a piece of history.<br />
This beautiful quilt was made by many members of the Bee and so much time and love and effort and energy has been put into it. It takes a year from concept to a finished quilt. The size is 65 1/2" X 86".<br />
<br />
<br />
<strike>You can purchase this quil</strike>t, Home At Last, on the National Airedale Rescue site.<br />
<strike>The total purchase price is $1500.00 </strike> <span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><b>SOLD</b></span><br />
This includes shipping anywhere in the world.<br />
<br />

<b><u><i><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">A little history of the quilt</span></i></u></b>:<br />
The Home at Last quilt was won by Sue Senerchia, in October of 2011. It was originally won by Carol Elsworth in 2003. Carol donated it back to the Bee for another raffle for National Airedale Rescue and Sue won this special quilt. This quilt has always been owned by members of the Airedale Quilting Bee. Sue is now generously donating it back to National Airedale Rescue in hopes of raising more money for Airedales in need.<br />
<br />
Sue says; I have had it for 8 years and 99% of the time, it's been put away in my closet for safe keeping. It's in pristine condition, just as I had received it. It has spent too much time in the closet wrapped in tissue paper and it needs to be seen and enjoyed by a new owner.<br />
<br />
Lovingly made by hand by the members of the Airedale Rescue Quilt Bee.<br />

Here are a few extra details about the quilt.<br />
<br />
The gorgeous center medallion was made by Karen Brown. When the Bee decided to use Christie Williams' wonderful artwork of the "Home at Last Dog, for the center medallion, Karen wanted four botanical panels that would represent the seasons and contribute to the sense of comfort and serenity created by Christie's Airedale blissfully sleeping on a favorite quilt. The panels were inspired by an applique pattern book titled "Little Brown Bird" by Margaret Docherty.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Detail of the leaves and flowers~<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Karen began the first panel on Valentine's day 2002. Two days later, her beloved six year old female, Hyla Grace, was diagnosed with Autoimmune hemolytic anemia. She lost her battle on February 27. Barbara Curtis, who is chairperson of the rescue branch of the Airedale Terrier Club of America, sent Karen a note that she wished that every Airedale could be loved as much as Hyla was.<br />
<br />
Karen is a gardener and Hyla delighted in plunking herself in the middle of whatever part of her garden was the most gloriously in bloom so that she had brilliantly colored "crop circles". She was often in Karen's thoughts as she fashioned leaves and flowers for the gorgeous center medallion.<br />
<br />
One of the Summer blocks was created by designer Judy Dwiggins.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRDW6TO6-g3O_eVj5CFcghEFcb8-qLPY_gGDxVCSf_K0M58UI49AXr1nTDMsUuJaBWCa9edxUb8qGzynSUHlKe7vaGGqhhipmGdG9CuQyetRrSmF46sTz350cTBwpzIwSZVa3P4zyGzew/s1600/IMG_0942.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1526" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRDW6TO6-g3O_eVj5CFcghEFcb8-qLPY_gGDxVCSf_K0M58UI49AXr1nTDMsUuJaBWCa9edxUb8qGzynSUHlKe7vaGGqhhipmGdG9CuQyetRrSmF46sTz350cTBwpzIwSZVa3P4zyGzew/s320/IMG_0942.JPG" width="305" /></a></div>
Beauregard, her seven year old Airedale is at the beach in his rain slicker. Judy says that Beau's most favorite place in the whole world, other than home, is visiting the Oregon beaches.<br />
<br />
Another one of the Summer blocks was made by Nanciann Nowlen of her Airegirl Gracie, and drawn by Gena Welch-Booher.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaX13PFb9WER8m5dT53N-dtQUVhmayOcToRCBCCoMGANwo5L71WICkzLhatH0X4SqPUME5ERH_rUX-vydL1Llny3gveuyLx-tz-pUYcOrJIoRqmGo6WUQIWFHkZQTXlaU0okF2UCRjQSg/s1600/IMG_0944.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1117" data-original-width="1600" height="223" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaX13PFb9WER8m5dT53N-dtQUVhmayOcToRCBCCoMGANwo5L71WICkzLhatH0X4SqPUME5ERH_rUX-vydL1Llny3gveuyLx-tz-pUYcOrJIoRqmGo6WUQIWFHkZQTXlaU0okF2UCRjQSg/s320/IMG_0944.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Nancy says that she and her family have owned box turtles for over 30 years and that in the Spring, the turtles become their most active as they come out of their hibernation to mate. This block celebrates Gracie and her turtles.<br />
<br />
One of the Autumn blocks was created by Julie Mellecker of her Airedale Abbey.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg10FhHJM_0fQ3b2hwaKVlewPATiLnbDYpHggEH0leE1qzxCS5Q756OwJgCPO-2bvmWQ9gXyW3fSRkLInUyb-8i3n8h3LBAUPxnkAoGAW_U93HGbLx2Ic-1nh_0HrMDZc4sQPpazqWfcLA/s1600/IMG_0923.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="843" data-original-width="1600" height="168" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg10FhHJM_0fQ3b2hwaKVlewPATiLnbDYpHggEH0leE1qzxCS5Q756OwJgCPO-2bvmWQ9gXyW3fSRkLInUyb-8i3n8h3LBAUPxnkAoGAW_U93HGbLx2Ic-1nh_0HrMDZc4sQPpazqWfcLA/s320/IMG_0923.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Her block depicts Abbey with a large pumpkin pie, which she enjoyed eating two Thanksgiving's ago. Julie had baked all of her pies the night before and had been keeping a close eye on them as they cooled. She turned her back for a few seconds and sneaky Abbey took a big bite out of one of them! Judy says that it didn't slow her down a bit. She just cut that section off the pie and swerved it along with the rest of them the next day.<br />
<br />
This quilt is truly a work of art and very colorful to brighten up any room in the house and is absolutely gorgeous.<br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Airedale Rescue Quilting Bee started in 1999 and to date has raised a total of </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>$252,200</b></span><span style="font-size: large;">, which includes this last fundraiser! All the money has gone to National Airedale Rescue. The end of this major yearly fundraiser is a HUGE loss for National Airedale Rescue and we'll all need to brainstorm and come up with a new super fundraising event for the future.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I think I speak for all the Bee members in saying it's been an honor and a privilege to work with this wonderful and creative group, who brought 17 years worth of Airedale-themed quilts to life. I've only been a member since 2011 starting with the 2012 Quilt, "Garden Party". I knew nothing, and I mean nothing, about hand applique and quilting. I am still learning. But a Bee member, Marianne Perry, lived about an hour away and was my mentor. Others around the country shared their tips and fabric to get this neophyte started. I don't envision myself ever making a large quilt, but I do want to continue the craft of making wall hangings a few times a year. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">When I first heard about the Bee, I was amazed that a group of women and Airedale lovers, many who have never met each other, came together to create such beautiful works of art, all through the use and community of the internet. I was National Airedale Rescue Treasurer then and I was stunned and very grateful at what was raised. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Now that the Bee has dissolved, we need to brainstorm and figure out other ways to generate income each year to benefit Airedales in need. National Airedale Rescue helps those regional rescues who don't have the time, an affiliation with a regional Airedale club or the ability to raise funds on their own. Often these groups are in areas of the country that have an enormous amount of Rescue Airedales needing help. How can we help these groups still continue to Rescue Airedales and give them the medical help so many of them very often require before going on to their new homes?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">If you have any ideas, please forward them to the Treasurer of National Airedale Rescue, Rusty LaFrance. There is a huge need for rescue volunteers on all levels - in the trenches physically rescuing the dogs, good foster homes, transportation, interviewing and assessing potential homes, fundraising, both the creative side and the managerial side of fundraising. All of these are ways YOU can contribute to Airedale Rescue.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04901287014940743066noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503413288054037544.post-61416814525156229742016-10-07T07:05:00.001-07:002016-10-08T09:05:16.427-07:00PICS OF QUILT DISPLAY AT ATCA HOSPITALITY LAST EVENING<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Here are some great photos of the Quilt Display taken by Sheila Tay Radcliffe at last evening's ATCA Hospitality Room. Thanks, Sheila, for the wonderful photos! Thank you to Lori Taylor and Cindy Johnstonbaugh for bringing the Quilt Display to the Hospitality Room. As you can see, that's a lot of work to set up and take down, plus driving several hours to and from the headquarters hotel and then standing on their feet for several hours! </span><br />

The Quilt drawing will take place at the end of the evening. So stay tuned and check the Quilt Blog or the Airedale Rescue Quilting Bee Facebook page to find out who won. I will post the names of the Leap Y'Aire winner and the bonus wall hanging winners either that evening or the next day once Lori Taylor calls me with the results.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I just want to take the time to thank the Bee members who worked so hard to make the 2016 Airedale Rescue Quilt and Fundraiser come to fruition and those folks who generously donated items to be used for the Early 'Dale Drawings. And I can't forget the adopters and regional rescue groups that shared the Rescue stories and photos. They all contributed to making the 2016 Airedale Rescue Quilt Fundraiser a success! And I want to thank the AireForce, who for 2 months of the Quilt Blog and online ticket donations, kept us ahead of last year and at the end of the online portion, stepped up and in 2 days rallied and helped us reach our goal. <b>It was truly amazing to watch it unfold. Words cannot express our gratitude to you all for your generosity.</b></span><br />

Congratulations! We are all winners in this online incentive drawing - we surpassed our goal for the fundraiser yesterday. On the LAST day for online ticket donations, we raised $4,425! That is so amazing and I am in awe of the power of the AIREForce. What a fantastic job by the entire Airedale community, who have generously supported this fundraiser for two months and really came through to push us to our goal and beyond yesterday!</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The unofficial total of online quilt ticket donations is $25,295.48. Pinky is doing the Airedale scoot in the living room as I type and I'm crying from joy. I am in AWE of the power of the AireForce. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Unofficially, today's donations totaled $4,420! That is an amazing job! This morning we asked you to donate a little more to help us reach our goal and you did it! Lydia Ross had faith all along that it could be done; I was hoping we would reach it but not entirely optimistic that it was possible. You proved me wrong. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Look what we ALL accomplished together for our beloved Airedales in need in just 2 months time, but today especially.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I will announce the Early 'Dale No. 9 incentive drawing results probably tomorrow or Sunday. From my reckoning, Eileen Tedesco has 844 ticket stubs to fill out before she can do the Early 'Dale drawing so please be patient. That's a lot of ticket stubs for one person to process in a day! I don't envy her that job. I think she has the hardest job of the entire fundraiser and she does it exceptionally well and we are very blessed to have her volunteer each year and do this job every day for two months without a break. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is also the LAST year of the Airedale Rescue Quilting Bee and the Airedale Rescue Quilts. It's been a long, long run (1999 - 2016) and we've had fun creating unique fabric works of art for the benefit of National Airedale Rescue. A huge thank you to all those who participated in the Quilts over the years and those whose donations made the the quilt fundraisers so successful. You made it possible for National Airedale Rescue to help so many Airedales for the past 17 years. Not including this year's fundraiser, the Quilting Bee has raised $222,540 since 1999 through Oct. 2015.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>GRIFFIE</b> is 12 years young this September. We are extremely GRATEFUL to everybody at NAR for the help with the ongoing medical maintenance of some of Griffie's issues (limping, anxiety and digestive). </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">However, the most profound intervention and help from NAR/Senior Fund was given to us in early 2016. In January 2016, as we were getting ready for Greg's Melanoma surgery, Griffie suffered a sudden and unexpected onset of a Glaucoma, an ocular tumor that later did burst, and a loss of vision in his left eye. It all happened overnight, a day before our trip to the UC San Francisco for Greg's surgery. We rushed Griffie to the vet and were given quite a handful of medications to try to control his condition and pain. An eye removal surgery was scheduled the soonest possible. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">However, in the meantime, a mass that Griffie had on his left shoulder for a few years now, that we were monitoring closely, has started growing very fast, and oozing. Another trip to a vet, an aspiration and we decided that removal of this mass was a priority, given a speed at which it grew. Surgery #1 was a success. Ten days later, when Griffie was strong enough to endure the second surgery, we took him to an Animal Eye Clinic specializing in eye surgeries and yet again, it was a success and Griffie was under the anaesthesia significantly less time than expected, and the good news was that the tumor was all contained within the eye and therefore was removed completely, so was his left eye. Griffie since has healed beautifully and now goes by the name of Griffie-The-One-Eyed-Pirate-Captain.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Both surgeries, and all the medical intervention, and Griffie's life today were all made possible thanks to financial help from NAR/Senior Airedales Fund, for which we are deeply and endlessly GRATEFUL. THANK YOU!!! In that last picture Griffie wishes to offer his Kisses to all who helped and love him. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Finally it is done!! My procrastination this year knew no bounds! All because I dreaded the turning under edges and pinning process. My most challenging aspect this year was "ears". The pieces were so small and my fingers had a hard time turning under the edges! In keeping with the "leaping" theme for this year, I decided to use two different Airedale leaping poses taken from an Airedale placemat and made the backgrounds representative of each of the four seasons of the year. I learned 2 new things this year too: if you use 4 fabrics for your sashing, sew two together at a time before attaching to the blocks rather than one at a time; and don't reinforce the stitching at the beginning and end because if you have to rip it out, it's a pain in the neck! Many thanks to Rebecca Eash for making my label.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We start off in the top left block with SUMMER on a light green/blue background and the Airedale is leaping to catch a brown toad after a summer rainstorm. I reoriented the Airedale in a downward leap when I realized brown toads don't leap up to high. I know in central Maryland, the brown toads come out in the yard after a summer rainfall, and my Airedale, Pinky, is in high hunting mode! So much so, that even a brown leaf blowing in the wind or lying by the back door, brings out the toad huntress in her summer, fall, winter and spring! It doesn't matter that they taste vile and disgusting when caught and leave her gagging and foaming at the mouth. The prey drive is just too strong in her. The pink collar is homage to my Pinky.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">WINTER is on a faint gray/blue background with hints of pine needles in white and brown. The leaping Airedale in this block is trying to catch a snowball or two. What Airedale doesn't relish leaping to catch a snowball and then, if they miss, wonder where it has disappeared to in the snow-covered ground!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The idea for this wall hanging was a riff on my first wall hanging, "Bitches in Season" by Christie Williams. </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">My first challenge for this wall hanging was deciding on the background fabric for each block. I was trying to use fabric that I had on hand in my "stash". With several years experience under my belt, this year the hand applique work was fairly easy. It was just a matter of getting started and psyching myself up to do it. Since it is hard on the eyes and fingers, I usually only work about an hour or two morning and night on the hand applique, but because I was so behind in my schedule, I did the hand applique on the 4 blocks in 4 days, a new personal record. My quilting is minimal (just stitch in the ditch in center seams) as I still don't trust myself to get innovative as I have a hard time controlling my sewing machine. Maybe some day, I'll get adventuresome and get crazy, but for the time being I'm playing it safe so I don't screw up the blocks.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I use the self-binding method, so here is a photo of the top, batting and backing fabric pinned together and ready to be sewn. Now just needed to add the embellishment buttons!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I ended up using a rich brown fabric for the backing rather than trying to piece together the 4 background fabrics. After my sashing disaster, a rookie mistake, I opted not to use sashing. I tried sewing each sashing piece to one side of each block and then join them. Well, I ended up with a big "hole" in the middle. Panic!! I decided after reading an article on sashing that is isn't required, so didn't attempt a 2nd try since I was under the gun and could not afford any more mishaps! Now I can get a good night's sleep. </span><br />

She is made of stained (coloured) clay and as a special treat for the Bee, a small heart cavity was created in her chest and then filled with beautiful pure white porcelain.<br /><br />Aire Girl was hand sculpted for many hours, allowed to dry for a couple of weeks, and then fired in my trusty kiln to 1832 degrees F which converts her from dry clay into a solid but still absorbent form called bisque.<br /><br />Next, she was sanded and her eyes, nose and saddle were applied, then back into the kiln for final firing to 2084 degrees F. The result is what you see in the photos - a ceramic stoneware sculpture of an Airedale in playbow pose.<br /><br />A final sanding, a protective coating applied and now she waits to discover who will give her a new home. She is happily playing with all the other ceramic furkids on the shelf.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Sandy Lachowski quilted this year's quilt and here is a little history about Sandy that I got from an article written about her by the Central Oregon Association of Realtors titled "Stitching a Story." I paraphrased some of the article.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Sandy has been machine quilting for 16 years and she considers it not work, but an art form that she pours her whole heart into and can't imagine living without.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It started with the gift of a baby quilt for her first daughter. She was intrigued by the idea of making a quilt and began to take classes and at first concentrated on making homemade children's clothes that she sold at a weekend market. However, a chance visit to a local quilt shop introduced her to a long arm quilting machine and the rest was history. The shop owner allowed Sandy to practice on the machine and for a little over a year, she quilted random pieces of fabric on the machine until the owner told her she had practiced enough. Soon Sandy's business "Best in Show Quilts" was born and she mostly finishes quilts for others. She sometimes will piece and quilt her own creations but not for herself. She donates them to be raffled where the proceeds benefit a local Humane Society. Besides quilting animals, she is passionate about her dogs and there are hundreds of dog show prize ribbons that decorate her studio.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">To Sandy, the magic of a quilt lies in its story - who was it made for, and why certain fabrics were chosen. Since Sandy considers quilting an art, she doesn't use any patterns or stencils and refuses to upgrade her original long arm machine because she doesn't want a computerized one.</span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Here is a sample of Sandy's work. Wow! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Barley (formerly known as Marley because he was covered in dreadlocks when he was found) was a stray whose owner never came to claim him and that the shelter could not place, so they contacted Airedale Rescue and asked us to take him. He was a bag of bones when we got him - only 45.5 lbs. He is now on his way to his proper weight of about 70 lbs. He was estimated to be around 2 or 3 years old. He had no training when he arrived, but was very,very sweet and affectionate.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Our volunteers transported Marley/Barley, visited him frequently at the kennel, groomed him, took him to classes, worried about him, loved him and did everything they could to get him ready for a new home. They said they had never seen a dog in such poor condition. He was not only starved for physical nutrition, but also for human affection. Because he had kennel cough, he had to be kept at the vet's facility in isolation for two weeks. He was covered with ticks and looked like he had never been groomed. It took a couple of weeks to get him feeling well enough to be groomed. Once he recovered from the kennel cough, we moved him to a boarding kennel where our volunteers continued to visit and work with him several times a week, while we looked for the right forever home. By the time we found one, Barley was well on his way to recovering his health - he had already gained several pounds, and learned a few tricks. His new family came fully equipped with a couple of teenaged boys to help Barley utilize the young, enthusiastic Airedale energy he was starting to exhibit.</span><br />

This fund allows these Senior Airedales to be fostered and cared for and loved for whatever time they have left. The Seniors are very special. I know firsthand from fostering Nina, who was unadoptable because of her advanced age and several health issues. She brought so much joy to every day and that's the special secret about the Seniors.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Here are the stories of several Seniors helped by National Airedale Rescue in the past couple of years. </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Rusty LaFrance wrote: </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">As you know, I take in the older Airedales ... ones that are having a hard time finding a foster or a home to live in for the later years. </span>These senior Rescue Airedales are a few of the seniors who continue to be helped with their healthcare needs by National Airedale Rescue this past year. National's help enables them to live out their lives by offering help with their care that sometimes may be too much for an adopter to handle on their own. It ensures that they have a loving and safe place to live out what time they have left and they deserve that. In my opinion, the seniors are the best, and give back so much and those who take them in and give them love and a safe caring home are special people too. </span><br />

At the age of 10, her humans found themselves unable to take care of her and she was returned to Rescue (per the Rescue contract). One of my wonderful foster humans had just lost the last senior she was fostering for me, and Allie was the perfect fit for her home. Allie is very much loved and is traveling between Arizona and Idaho, where it is cooler in the summer months. It is as though she has always lived with Sheri and Sheri could not be happier. Sheri is the perfect human as a foster for a senior Airedale, and our Senior program makes it possible for her to take these seniors into her home."</span><br />

He was in such bad shape that I was sure he was not going to make it, but, tough as nails ... he did. He is being fostered by one of my foster humans that is willing to take care of an older dog that has health issues. We discovered he had a persistent ear infection and finally got it under control with a special, no grain diet.

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Lydia writes: "The inspiration for Airemoon came from a block that I saw online. The block was of a moon with trees and a moose shadow. I loved it and Could not get the
image out of my head. I happened to see my Airedale Dave sitting with the sun behind him
and I thought OH that would be perfect if it was Airedale head instead of moose. So I
quickly sketched the idea on paper and fine tuned it. "Airemoon" was a reality."</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">A Craig's List ad stating that a "Black and Tan Wire Fox Terrier needed a home" put me in contact with the good Samaritans who took Teddy into their home, well actually their front porch. I think Teddy was travelling south from Exit 200 off of I-40 in Oklahoma. He had walked a distance of almost 11 miles of farm and ranch properties when he finally reached the cattle ranch home of Gloria and John. They are an elderly couple who have a big heart for dogs that are in need of help. They have given a home to 2 female dogs that wandered up to their ranch. They found Teddy barking and whimpering at their property gate one evening. <br /> <br />Teddy was probably the runt of the litter, undocked tail and dew claws, but a very charming fellow. Gloria and John, being very cautious, gave Teddy some chow and water and a rug on the front outside porch with the light on. They were concerned that he might harm their 2 healthy older rat terrier type mixes. He stayed the night and was a very good guest, but still not allowed inside the house. He had been living there, following the rules of the house, for approximately 4 days.<br /> <br />When I arrived and saw that we did not have a Wire Fox, but an Airedale, not a Welsh, I knew that he would have an interesting story to tell if he could. Gloria and John had checked with the local Sheriff's office and Humane Society and there were no reports of a lost Airedale Terrier, nor Wire Fox. I told them that I noticed several large truck stops around the exit off the I-40. I wondered if he could have been left there by accident. Someone stopped and let him out, no collar or leash evident when found by Gloria and John, owner couldn't locate him and drove off. Teddy had the answers and I would find out soon enough.<br /> <br />Loaded him up in the crate in the car and off we went to return home. Teddy had settled in the crate and not a sound was heard from him. As I approached the I-40 interchange, I was driving up on a bridge over the interstate in order to turn left and enter the interstate to return West to OKC. While waiting for the light change, several over-the-road Big Trucks pulled up next to my vehicle, one on each side of my vehicle. Teddy started yelping in distress, trying to exit the crate, windows were closed because it was July and 100 degrees in the shade, but I knew why he was frantic! He remembered his home, Big Trucks. I will never forget the sound of his barking trying to alert us. So his story is something like the following. Truck driver stops, let's him out, driver can't find him, driver has a schedule, driver leaves him. </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Unfortunately, without ID tags or microchip, no lost Airedale posters, and no response to found Airedale notices, there was no way to reunite him with his owner.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">As I drove back to Oklahoma City, I remember that a previous adopter's male had recently crossed the Bridge. I contacted Penny and Rocky Cook who wanted to meet this boy. After being checked out by the vet, who estimated Teddy's age at about 7- 8 months, they adopted Teddy. He is still the sweet boy, although his sister Anna may disagree about that.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">(Editor's note: This is why it is so important to make sure your dog is microchipped and exercised on a leash outside of a fenced area, especially in a new or strange location.)</span><br />

We were having ceramic tile put down in our bedroom and the living areas of our house and much of our furniture was packed into the other bedrooms so I was working in a very small area in my sewing room. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our Airedale kids have always liked to go for rides in the truck (they ride in the back seat for safety reasons - we live in the city). They have both been good travelers, but also like to go on errands or just down to the mailbox.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">According to her clients, Sandra Merwin is one of the best Animal Artists in America. In reality, she is an acclaimed, award-winning artist whose art is appreciated and sold worldwide. She has the unique ability to capture the personality and spirit of her subject. Her paintings are fresh and expressive. She usually creates "alla prima", meaning without an under drawing of any sort. This direct painting method creates an emotional spontaneity that cannot be duplicated.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">As an artist, Sandra is known for her dramatic motion and bold, confident paint strokes that convey movement, spirit and energy. Kinetic energy springs from her paintings as she uses line, color, texture and light to translate motion and fluidity in a style that is uniquely hers. As a result, many of her clients seek her talent to capture the unique personality and character of a beloved animal. Her book, "<a href="http://www.blurb.com/b/6248825-airedales-as-art" target="_blank">Airedales in Art</a>", includes 65 full-color images of her original Airedale paintings. Her most recent book, "<a href="http://www.blurb.com/b/6557082-horse-art-of-sj-merwin" target="_blank">The Horse Art of SJ Merwin</a>" honors the connection between horses and humans since the beginning of time through art and includes more than 40 of her horse paintings.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">As a third generation Montanan, she grew up surrounded by animals and the big skies of Montana. From the Prong Horn Antelope and Angus cattle that grazed in nearby fields to the Tennessee Walker she rode, Sandra experienced the movement and essence of these animals. Now as an artist, she takes her love of Montana and animals and puts it on canvas. As a result, her painting of "Jag" belongs to the 23rd Governor of Montana, and her art has graced the covers of numerous magazines. She was also the featured artist in two galleries; and Sandra's painting "Trifecta" is in the permanent collection of the Billings Clinic. It hands in the lobby of the Billings Cancer Center.</span></div>
