My Doberman is not allowed in my sewing room. 1---I do alot of work for other people. I don't ever want a person to have an allergy problem or find pet hair on my work. 2---My dog almost died after eating a piece of fabric. It got caught half in his stomach and caused the intestines to tangle. One opening in his stomach and two in the intestines had to be made to get the piece of cloth out!!! He is almost three now and I think he is out of the chewing stage but I don't take any chances.
