My dog loves to run up and down our fence line "chasing cars", so most of the time he's out there getting his exercise and his jollies. I wouldn't want him near me when I'm working on a project because that tail of his can wreak havoc! I did try to work on paper piecing a grandmother's flower garden block with him at my feet and wouldn't you know his nose just had to go into the storage container! Welcome to the board!
