LOL!...nonsense Gail. Every pet on here is family. You have more pets than you know what to do with and more love too! I feel a little bad when ppl talk about their pets being inside, but me and hubby have allergies. One of my girls had a parakeet and every time I went in her room I came out chasing after my nose...(running, lol! I knew somebody might go, huh???) :lol:
I can relate to the allergies. Which is funny, because I was a pet groomer for many years. I am not allergic to dogs, but have developed an allergy to cats. And I have 5 PERSIAN CATS. It doesn't bother me until I give them haircuts. Then my nose is on FIRE!! Itches and burns sooooooo bad. It wasn't like that when I groomed full time. My cats are all very old, and have to have haircuts for hygiene reasons, so it has to be done. (They are inside kitties too. 3 of them where "throw aways" no one wanted.) I did have 6 persians, but one of them died in Nov of 07 at 17 1/2 years old. Blind as a bat but old Eli could knock a doberman in line like nobody's business!
I haven't posted a pic because my quilt is in heavy use now. And no doubt, covered in hair. I do think my next quilt will have a higher loft batting for the dobermans to stay a little warmer. They get cold easy.
