Aren't Golden Retrievers just the best ??? Of course, any dog is a wonderful creature. Our pets become just like extensions of our family. We are on our 2nd Golden as we lost our 1st beloved one to cancer. They are the most loving, gorgeous creatures.

Miss Daisy is a nag, she whines and paws at my leg if she is in the studio till I want to wring her neck. I put a baby gate up so she can't get downstairs with me. If she whines, I call my DH on the cell and ask him to deal with her. Eventually she gets the message and takes a nap somewhere. There are positive things from out of work spouses. He adores her and doesn't mind and she doesn't do that to him. I love your sign.
We were working on refinishing living room floor - that blob is her bunny toy. It's hard to be mad at that face

I think it is a lab thing!!!! Miss Bess is lab/German shorthair and it doesn't matter what I am doing, she whines to go out and then has a two-bark "let me in, NOW" thing and everything stops, I go out, bring her in, say "Good Dog, Bessie", start back to what I am doing and there goes the whine again! I don't recall our son even whining that much!!!!! But we love them, the dogs!!!!!

When I sit at my sewing machine, the dogs think it's nap time. When I get up to get coffee or whatever I do when I walk away from the machine for a few minutes, they stay sleeping. If it's around noon, they go out and come right back inside, planting their selves at the door of my sewing room. When I sew, they sleep more.

Brie (avatar) only thinks she rules our house ..well she does !LOL okay I admit it ..we have 2 doors in our sewing/misc room so they are open when we are out there, so she can come and go as she pleases.. She also has a rug to lay on, her own personal pillow with her own personal quilt !LOL Okay okay so she is spoiled ! LOL I blame DH for that one !LOL <GRIN>
Plus the fact that she knows where we are so I think in her mind it calms her and then its NAPPY time .. LOL

My five (two Pits, a Beagle, a German Shepherd and an Australian Shepherd) use my sewing time to be extra-vigilant about alarming me about what's going on in the neighborhood.....including when one of their own cats gets up from a nap in the driveway and walks in the yard. That alone is good for letting me know there is major danger starting!!!!! We are on an in-out schedule and unless somebody is acting frantic, we stick with the schedule. (Something I learned as a middle school teacher!)

One of my three just cannot understand why it's okay for him to lay on my feet while I'm at the computer but NOT okay to lay on my feet while I'm trying to sew. I've had to rip out more than one seam thanks to him creating a "run away train" effect by pressing the foot pedal! I make him get out from under my sewing table and he props his chin on my knee and gives me the mournful puppy-dog eyes look that makes me feel like a monster. I finally made him his own special bed to the side of my chair and he's more or less accepted that as an acceptable compromise. My two girls are just fine "guarding" my room by sprawling in the hallway. Fortunately they don't ask to go outside too much; they're all really spoiled and prefer to be indoors as much as possible. They know that when they go outside there's a chance I'll decide they can STAY outside for awhile and that's the worst thing EVER in their little four-legged lives! So when it's potty time they hustle, the chances of being let back in right away are much better if they're quick about it!

We don't dare put a doggie door in, our five pounder will chase anything. So far she raised heck out the window at a bear in our yard on Memorial day, had to go to the vet after treeing a skunk because I couldn't get two of the quills out of his muzzle, I did manage to remove the other 8. I told my dh that from now on, he only goes out on a leash. It cost 140.00 to remove those two quills and she was pretty lucky because they were really small quills about an inch long(maybe she found the baby but the one up the tree was a BIG one, I have the picture). I live in fear of her finding a skunk. The only things she is afraid of have to do with sound; fireworks, dh's cellphone, timers and thunder terrify her.

Just got our new golden boy Axl last Friday. He's our fourth. The other three lived to be seniors. I haven't sewn anything since he arrived. Too busy potty training and keeping him from chewing up our stuff even though he has plenty of his own stuff to chew on. We live in eagle country so he can't be alone outside yet. Gotta go take him out. Hope to sew something soon!
