Well every place here that I might have afforded that was for rent said no dogs and no room for my quilting stuff. Humph!! Not happening. My Andy is my best bud. And companion. Even if he is a stinker, not at all cuddley, and bites if I make him mad. I love him anyway he is MY stinker. LOL And I would go INSANE if I had to just sit around and didn't have my quilting to do.
