We have 2 poodles. When I go into my sewing studio, the larger (16 lbs) Café au lait color immediately plants herself in front of the front door to guard from the UPS drivers. The smaller (7 lbs) black color come to the door of my sewing studio and whines. We have hardwood in there and she doesn't like to slip, so she won't come into the room to be picked up. NOTE: Last summer we put hardwood throughout, but she hasn't figured that out, yet. So she sits on the hardwood in the hall, but won't come into the hardwood in the studio. Go figure. Then I pick her up and she lays on a quilt on either my sewing table or my cutting table, depending on where I am. Are they spoiled? NO. LOL. They are company, though and we love those furbabies.
