    I don't have a furry one either. I do however have two small children (2 and 6) who like to sit on my knee when I'm sewing. It scares the life out of me in case they put their fingers under the needle. Mostly I sew when the wee one is asleep.

    As an adult I've rarely been without a pet. After our last dog, Makian, passed away hubby and I swore we were going to be pet free for a while. That lasted about a month - I was too lonely and depressed. So we adopted, Sophie. She's not "just" my quilting buddy but she's also my running buddy and sleeping buddy. She LOVES to run - she's run up to 18 miles with me a few times. I run in the mornings before work (usually when it's dark outside) and she is the perfect personal body guard.

    Her face looks a bit distorted in this picture but I love how well it shows off her two different colored eyes and the cute black spot on the white part of her nose and her awesome multi-colored whiskers and.....

    Gracie Jane is our 4th Miniature Schnauzer. We got our first 34 years ago because we discovered
    they are basically dander free and our oldest daughter was highly allergic to pets.
    After realizing they are the perfect breed for us we never could bring ourselves to get any other
    breed. At one time I had 2 and they were show dogs that I showed myself. At least I've never
    had to pay a groomer after the first one haha Good thing since they need a lot of grooming.
    I once told my girls that had I known how wonderful dogs were I might never have had kids
    because the dogs never grew up to be teenagers! Just kidding of course.
    I've never met a dog I didn't like and it's wonderful to see pictures of everyone's fur babies!

    No animals here and I will never own one either.
    Blessed are the children of the piecemakers for they shall inherit the quilts!

    I love seeing pet photos from those of you who have pets. This is the first time ever we haven't had either a cat and or dog. Pets make a house a home and bring so much joy. As soon as we are able to get a dog(s) again we will adopt an older rescue dog(s). The dogs that many folks pass by at shelters. Or we may decide to foster. I love all breeds and mixed breeds. But I have a special place in my heart for German Shepherds.

    Carrie J, Maggie Mae is a cutie pie!

    Here's my Mocha after we dug up the flower bed this spring. He's a 2 year old chocolate lab. He's a big boy at about 105 lbs and 28" tall.

    I no longer have my fur baby. 3 1/2 years ago when my husband left (he didn't like the fact that I was sick and couldn't work), I had to give up my best friend. Indie is a beautiful, happy, lovable yellow lab. I had to move into an apartment, no pets allowed, and Indie went to a couple who own a farm with all the animals and she is spoiled beyond what I could do.
    I miss her and cry about her being gone frequently.
    Someday I will have another lab...

    I think I am the only quilter who doesn't have one-image.jpg

    This is Casey our rescue from December 2014.
    We lost our chocolate lab Shannon in august 2014 and she was always in my sewing room with me.
    After she was gone I was sewing for the local rescue for fund raisers and when DH and I went to the farm to drop off all the dog beds Casey decided to claim my DH and wouldn't let anyone else come near him! So he came home with us! He has been good for DH to have around, and they curl up together for nap time and bedtime. Sometimes Casey sits contented in his lap while he has a conversation with him!!! But he isn't much of a sewing buddy. He doesn't like the sound of the serger and DSM!
    But he sure is a delight, a snuggle buddy and very funny!!!

    I say go for it!!!
