I think I am the only quilter who doesn't have one
Seems like every forum picture I look at there is a fur baby in the picture. Sad I don't have one. So I thought it would be cool to see everyone's quilting buddy. If you post pictures of your buddy then maybe I can convince DH that I desperately need one.

This is Maggie Mae, who is now 12, but the best lil gal ever. I love Boston's, they are true people pups, and love kids to pieces! She's always in the sewing room when I'm here. The cat Cissy stays on the back of the couch, she has sleeping down to a fine art, lol!
And YES you NEED one!

Join the club....no fur buddies here either.
Although I have a barn full of big fuzzy critters outside, there is no one to quilt with inside besides music. :D
Re: I think I am the only quilter who doesn't have one
I moved into an apartment 5.5 years ago after getting my divorce. I really expected to live here a few months, then find a house to buy and move. This is the first time in my life I haven't had a pet. My landlords one unbreakable rule is no pets.
The apartment I live in is close to perfect. The rent is inexpensive, the utilities are low. I have great neighbors and I don't have to mow, shovel snow or repair anything. But I really think a cat would make my life better.
I am thinking about looking for a small house over in Fulton where I grew up. I haven't lived there since 1988 and it would be nice to move back and catch up with people. I don't know, I have thought about getting my doctor to write a statement that I needed a service animal, but who would believe a service cat? LOL

Bob, actually, cats can be service animals. They are known to reduce stress, lower BP, and recently they've found their purr (megahurtz) has healing tendencies after surgeries, broken bones, etc. As a matter of fact, the local Nursing Home here in my town, have a standard Poodle and a huge Manx that visit the patients weekly. Give it a try, you never know! :D

TMP, I just recently got a dog, after being pet-less for about 8 years. You could do like I did, and just go adopt a pet, with the idea of getting it for your DH. Of course, that backfired for me. The dog is attached to me and follows me around like a.....well....a puppy. I thought it would help DH with his depression. Hasn't worked out that way.

Wow, I wonder if this means I can claim my catfood bills against medical insurance? Sigh, a girl can dream.

I love having Zoey around. When I first finally got on my own without the kids, I thought no way I am taking care of anything. I do love animals, but wanted time for just me. Well, that lasted less than a month. My daughter took me to me one of her coworkers who's car had a surprise litter. Well, I fell in love with This little gray thing in all of thirty seconds. And overall she really is not a lot of work. But, she is an awesome friend. Never talks back, except if she is hungry. Loves to play fetch. It was a great decision to get her.
I say go for it. Dog, cat, hamster, does not matter. Get what you will love.

The cat isn't mine. I just liked the photo and used it for my avatar! Although it does kind of look like our newest kitten, Shadow.
All of our "pets" are outside animals. Two Anatolian livestock dogs, three barn cats, and twenty-ish dairy goats. We have the benefits of animals with out the fur all over the house and my fabric!

This is my sewing buddy. On this day she sat on the stool so she could be right next to me.
