Default hole in batting

They have always enjoyed laying in my sewing room while I sew or quilt, but I have never had an issue with them until now. So, now what do I do with the batting already loaded on the quilt and on my long arm? The hole is about 12" around and jagged/stretched.
That just happened to me the other day. We have a puppy and if my batting is hanging on the floor while I am using my longarm he rips holes in it. At first I thought I would have to some how baste a section of batting in the hole. Then I thought I would use spray basting on the new section which is larger than the hole and when I rolled the quilt up after that section was quilted it seemed to work well. I hope you are able to fix it.
