I love animals and always had them until I found out I was alergic to them. And I didn't want them to stay outside if it was too cold. My little brother fussed at me one time and said if I could bring to his horse in the house I would and I would but I am really allergic to horses, long haired cats and dogs but I love them. One cat would lay on the jigsaw puzzle and grab pieces, one would play with the ole typewriter, a dog would lay on the afgan I was crocheting and I would tell I had to turn in over and she would get up and watch me turn it and before I was finished she would be on the end again. One cat would chase the needle on the sewing machine. They are the best friends.
