My dog helps me sew also. He lays in front of me in my sewing room, guarding me. If the mail lady or UPS shows up, he barks to let me know as I can't hear anything from my sewing room. If I have a quilt on the floor, it's his. He likes my sewing room. He's very careful in there. No romping around or anything. Only place he behaves. I like that he guards me. I feel very safe in my room.
