I CAN RELATE TO FURRY KIDS HELPING. WE HAVE OUR GRANDSON'S 2 YEAR OLD CAT LIVING WITH US SINCE HE MOVED AWAY, AND SHE IS CONSTANTLY IN MY SEWING ROOM WITH ME. WHEN I AM SEWING ON THE MACHINE SHE LOVES TO JUMP UP BEHIND THE MACHINE AND "HELP" PULL THE FABRIC THROUGH. UNFORTUNATELY SHE HAS GOTTEN QUITE BIG AND TAKES UP MOST OF THE SPACE IF HAVE FOR THE FABRIC. WE JUST ADOPTED A LITTLE POODLE MIX AND SHE IS NOW MY CONSTANT COMPANION IN THE SEWING ROOM ALSO. SHE USUALLY SLEEPS IN MY GRANDSON'S CHAIR NEXT TO ME WHEN I AM SEWING AND PATIENTLY WAITS FOR ME TO FINISH AND GO BACK UPSTAIRS. GOT TO LOVE THE HELPERS.
